MR-MXP Card

The MR-MXP card is a mixed rate 10G and 40G client muxponder that is supported on the platforms. The card is equipped with one CPAK port, two SFP ports, and two QSFP+ ports. The card can interoperate with 100GS-CK-LC and 200G-CK-LC cards through an backplane.

The MR-MXP card provides the following features:

• Aggregation of 10x10G client payloads

• Aggregation of mixed bit-rate client payloads (2x40G and 2x10G)

• Termination point for a 100G client payload on the CPAK port

The aggregated payloads are then forwarded to a 200G companion trunk card.

For more information about the MR-MXP card, see the chapter in the .

200G-CK-LC and 200G-CK-LIC Cards

The 200G-CK-LC and 200G-CK-LIC cards are tunable DWDM trunk cards that are supported on the platforms. The cards are an enhancement of the 100GS-CK-LC card. The cards transport 100 or 200 gigabits per second across metro, regional, long-haul, and ultra-long-haul DWDM optical networks. The cards can interoperate with MR-MXP and 10x10G-LC cards through an backplane. The 200G-CK-LIC is the licensed card version of the 200G-CK-LC card.

The 200G-CK-LC card provides the following features:

• Supports 200G operating modes such as MXP_10x10G_100G, MXP_CK_100G, and MXP_200G.

• Allows choosing 16 QAM and QPSK as the modulation formats at the line side.

• Provides Standard G-FEC (Reed-Solomon), Soft Decision FEC (SD-FEC) encoding with 20% overhead.

• Provides Nyquist filtering for best performance and optimal band usage.

• Supports gridless tunability.

• Allows client access either through the local 100G CPAK interface or through backplane lines.

• Supports feature-based licensing.

For more information, see the chapter in the .

100GS-CK-LC Card Enhancements

The 100GS-CK-LC card supports 200G operating modes such as MXP_10x10G_100G, MXP_CK_100G, and MXP_200G in release 10.3.

Pluggable Port Modules

The Pluggable Port Modules supported on the MR-MXP card are:

• QSFP-40G-SR4=
• QSFP-4x10G-LR=

For more information about the Pluggable Port Modules support, see the document.

Licensing

The 200G-CK-LIC card supports feature-based licensing. The 200G-CK-LIC is the licensed card version of the 200G-CK-LC card. The base functionality is enabled in the licensed card version. Additional features are provided through specific feature licenses.

For more information about licensing, see the .

Optical SMU

An Optical software maintenance upgrade (SMU) is a patch that is provided to the customer to fix an emergency situation, such as network failure or traffic loss. The user can download and activate a patch on the node(s) through CTC.

For more information about optical SMUs, see the chapter in the .

NFV Enhancements

In the Network Functional View (NFV), all the panes with the exception of the Overview pane are iconised or hidden. The complete application window is dedicated to the network map. The panes are visible on request.

Fast circuit creation of protected and unprotected circuits is supported. The Circuit Creation button in the Circuit Creation perspective allows the user to select the type of circuit to be created. The user can then select the source and destination nodes on the network map. The NFV performs a check for compatible interfaces on both the source and destination nodes. A pop up menu displays only those circuit types that are feasible between the selected nodes. When a specific type of circuit is chosen, a new window appears that facilitates the user to select only those interfaces that match the selection and are available on both the nodes. All the changes are applied just before the creation of the circuit.

Pre-routed circuits are supported. Pre-routed circuits can be created using the Pre-routed option. When the route is found by the NFV and is in DISCOVERED state, it is highlighted in blue on the map. The circuit is created but placed out of service. All the configuration parameters are disabled except for the circuit action options. The user can accept the path by clicking the Accept button or can change the constraints using the options in the W & P Constraints config drop-down list. The Accept button changes to Refresh if any other the constraints are applied. On clicking Refresh, the WSON re-computes the path. If the path is acceptable, the user clicks the Accept button and the circuit is placed in service.

Feature Enhancements

• CTC displays the performance monitoring statistics that are retrieved from the PLIM interface of the router. The information is displayed in a tabular format.

• A new squelch option named LF is supported for 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE payloads. This option is supported on 10x10G-LC, CFP-LC, 100G-LC-C, 100G-CK-LC, 100GS-CK-LC, and 200G-CK-LC cards.

• A side description can be created or edited for all the optical and virtual sides of the node using CTC or TL1.

• The Trail Trace Identifier (TTI) in the path monitoring overhead is supported in OTU, and ODU OTN frames. It is possible to individually manage the Source Access Point Identifer (SAPI), Destination Access Point Identifier (DAPI), and User Operator Data fields. This feature is also supported in CTC when Cisco CRS Router is configured.

• Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generation is supported on VTXP.

• A new message is displayed when the WSON signals the circuit successfully.

• PSM is supported with 100GS-CK-LC or 200G-CK-LC cards on their trunk ports. The protection switch time of 50 ms can be achieved in TXP-100G configuration with 20%SD FEC.

• The TNC/TSC/TNCE/TSCE control cards on the chassis automatically detects and adjusts the cooling profile according to the cards present on the chassis.

• OSC power calibration method can be used in spans amplified with EDRA1-xx and EDRA2-xx cards.

• The privilege for Provisioning user has been extended at Node View and Network View.
