Details how to configure card modes, including muxponder and slice configurations, for various NCS 1004 line cards. It covers data rate settings, split client port mapping, regeneration modes, and specific procedures for OTN-XP, 2-QDD-C, and QXP line cards.
This chapter lists the supported configurations and the procedures to configure the card mode on the line cards.
Unless otherwise specified, “line cards” refers to 1.2T and 1.2TL line cards.
1.2T and 1.2TL line cards
This section explains the 1.2T and 1.2TL line cards for NCS 1004, which support muxponder and muxponder-slice operating modes for aggregating client traffic onto coherent DWDM trunk wavelengths.
OTN-XP cards
This section explains the NCS1K4-OTN-XP line card, including its operating modes, port configurations, and how it supports flexible traffic aggregation and regeneration.
Supported pluggables for OTN-XP card
This section provides details about the trunk and client pluggable optic modules supported on the NCS1K4-OTN-XP line card, including port assignments, supported data rates, and compatible LC modes.
Muxponder configurations
This section explains the muxponder configurations available on the OTN-XP card, including the LC mode, client port rate, client-to-trunk port mapping, and trunk rate for each supported configuration.
Configure the inverse muxponder on OTN-XP card for 400GE client
Use this procedure to configure the inverse muxponder mode on the OTN-XP card to split a high-rate client signal across multiple lower-rate trunk ports by specifying a traffic-split percentage.
2x100GE-TXP-MXP on OTN-XP card
This section provides details about the features, port mappings, and hardware interoperability of the 2x100GE-TXP-MXP mode on the OTN-XP card, which multiplexes two 100GE client ports over a single 200G trunk port per slice, introduced in Release 7.8.1.
2-QDD-C line cards
This section explains the NCS1K4-2-QDD-C line card, which provides two independent muxponder-slice configurations, each with a dedicated QSFP-DD trunk port supporting rates from 100G to 400G.
QXP cards
This section explains the NCS1K4-QXP-K9 3.2T QSFP-DD DCO Transponder line card, which provides eight 400G slices and supports 400GE, 4x100GE, 3x100GE, and 2x100GE operating modes.
