Description

2x100G muxponder mode support on NCS1K14-2.4T-X-K9 transponder card

Cisco ONP Release 26.1.1

Cisco ONP enables the 2x100GE muxponder mode on the NCS1K14-2.4T-X-K9 transponder card when designing networks for the NCS 1010, NCS 1014, NCS 1001, and NCS 2000 (1k-2K traffic site) platforms. This mode supports trunk rates ranging from 400G to 1.2T (excluding 700G) for both slice-0 and slice-1, and is compatible with client pluggables QDD-2X100-CWDM4-S and QDD-2X100-LR4-S. The 2x100G mode provides flexible and efficient aggregation of 100GE traffic, optimizing resource utilization and simplifying service provisioning within each platform's design.

L-Band support for 2.4TX transponder card in NCS 1010 network

Cisco ONP Release 25.1.1

In addition to the previously supported C-band, the NCS1K14-2.4T-X-K9 transponder card now also supports the L-band under the Service and Trail properties for the NCS 1010 network.

The 2.4TX card's support for the L-band increases capacity and spectral efficiency by utilizing both the L-band and C-band. C-band and L-band circuits can now use the same cards with different trunks for propagation.

Release Information

Feature Description
Transponder Support on NCS 1010 Network Cisco ONP Release 24.3.1

You can now create optical services for the NCS 1010 network. You can include cards such as NCS1K14-2.4T-K9, NCS1K14-2.4T-X-K9, and NCS1K4-QXP-K9 as native transponder instead of optical sources and check the feasibility of the network. You can generate the traffic report and BoM with the exact count of cards and pluggables based on the requirements, along with licensing details for the OLT card and the transponders.
Use this procedure to modify the properties of the service.

Before you begin

Log in to the Cisco ONP web interface.

Procedure

1.

Open the network where you want to modify the service properties.
2.

Choose Network > Entity Editor.
3.

In the Entity Editor window, click the Service tab.
4.

Choose the service under the Services tab, and modify the properties in the right pane. For the property descriptions, refer to:

Note

  • Force both primary and secondary path fiber or channel to enable protected service. Ensure the wave type matches for both paths.

  • Apply path forcing end-to-end, from the source to the destination. If you force only a partial path, the analysis fails.

  • Force the wave path tagged to the service.

  • For protection types 1+1+R+R, 1+1+R, and 1+R, you can force a path in restoration path1 or restoration path2. Fiber can also be forced in the primary or secondary path.
5.

Click Update.

The service name is based on the source and destination sites and the number of services between them. You can edit the name.

For example, if there are two services between site 1 and site 2, the names of the services are Site-1-Site-2-1 and Site-1-Site-2-2, respectively.

Tertiary source and tertiary destination are enabled only when you select the protection scheme as Unprotected Disjoint.

You can select either tertiary destination or both tertiary source and tertiary destination.

  • If you select only the tertiary destination, the demand is created between the source and destination and between the source and tertiary destination. These do not have common fibers in the path, which are disjoint.

  • If you select both tertiary source and tertiary destination, two unprotected demands are created between the source to destination, and tertiary source to tertiary destination. The demands are disjoint to each other.
