This section explains the NCS1K4-OTN-XP line card, including its operating modes, port configurations, and how it supports flexible traffic aggregation and regeneration.

An OTN-XP card is an optical transport networking transponder/muxponder line card that

  • provides two trunk ports and up to 12 client ports for flexible traffic aggregation,

  • supports multiple operating modes including 10G-GREY-MXP, 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP, 40x10G-4x100G-MXP, and OTUCn-REGEN, and

  • enables muxponder-slice configurations with independent client-to-trunk mapping for each slice.

LC modes on OTN-XP card

An LC mode is a line card operating mode on the OTN-XP card that

  • determines which client and trunk ports are enabled and their maximum data rates,

  • transitions the card from POWERED_ON state to OPERATIONAL state when configured, and

  • must be selected based on the Cisco IOS XR release installed on the router.

When you install the OTN-XP card in the Cisco NCS 1004 chassis, it is in the POWERED_ON state. The LCMODE is not configured for line card alarm is present on the card and the LED status is AMBER.

You must select a datapath mode by configuring the LC mode. OTN-XP does not have a default LC mode. After the LC mode is configured using the CLI,the card transitions to the OPERATIONAL state, the alarm clears, and the LED status turns to GREEN.

Supported LC modes

The LC modes supported on the OTN-XP card are:

  • 10G-GREY-MXP

  • 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP

  • 40x10G-4x100G-MXP

  • 4x100GE-MXP-DD

  • 400GE-TXP-DD

  • FC-MXP

  • OTUCn-REGEN

  • 2x100GE-TXP-MXP

Note

The 100G-TXP LC mode is not supported.

  • Only one LC mode can be configured at a time on the OTN-XP card.

  • When the LC mode is changed using the CLI, the alarm LCMODE changed, delete the datapath config and reload line card appears on the card and the DP FPD is disabled. To clear the alarm and enable DP FPD, delete the existing datapath configuration and reload the line card.

  • If a selected LC mode requires a different FPGA configuration and the package is not available, the alarm OTN_XP_DP_FPD_PKG is missing, please install the package to proceed appears. To clear this alarm, install the OTN_XP_DP_FPD_PKG file. After installation, the required FPGA image is copied to the card, the card reloads automatically, and becomes operational.

Note

The LC mode configuration is a shared plane configuration. The configuration does not enter the preconfigured state if the line card is not available.

Configure the LC mode

Configure LC mode on the OTN-XP card to activate it for service and transition the card from the POWERED_ON state to the OPERATIONAL state.

Before you begin

Ensure the OTN_XP_DP_FPD_PKG file is installed before configuring the LC mode.

Note

  • When you insert an OTN-XP line card having a lower FPD version, you must configure a LC mode which is supported on the software release that the line card is loaded with. You cannot upgrade the FPD of a line card if you configure a LC mode supported only in a higher software release.

  • The LC_CPU_MOD_FW version on a new OTN-XP line card is 7.3.1. Support for new LC modes or features from version 7.5.1 or higher, such as OTUCn-REGEN mode in 7.5.2, is not available in this line card software. When you install an OTN-XP card for the first time in an NCS 1004 chassis with the controller card software version of 7.5.1 or higher, you must upgrade LC_CPU_MOD_FW, to ensure the availability and support for the LC modes or features that are supported supported in the XR software version. You must configure an LC mode which is supported in the 7.3.1 XR software, such as 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP, and bring the card to OPERATIONAL state to upgrade the line card software.

Follow these steps to configure the LC mode on the OTN-XP card to transition it from the POWERED_ON state to the OPERATIONAL state.

Procedure

1.

Run the configurelc-module location location lcmode mode command to configure the LC mode on the OTN-XP card.
2.

Run the show lc-module location location lcmode mode command to view the LC modes available on the OTN-XP card.

Example:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#sh lc-module location 0/0 lcmode all

                                     4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP (A)        2.0 
                                     40x10G-4x100G-MXP (A)          3.0
                                     4x100GE-MXP-DD (R/C)           7.0
Note

The 100G-TXP mode is listed when using the show lc-module location lcmode all command, but the configuration on 100G-TXP mode is not supported.

This is a sample in which the OTN-XP card is configured in the 10G-GREY-MXP mode.

Regeneration modes on OTN-XP cards

A regenerative mode is a line card (LC) mode on the OTN-XP card that

  • enables full 3R (reamplify, reshape, retime) optical signal regeneration on the trunk ports,

  • requires the OTN-XP card to be configured in the OTUCn-REGEN LC mode using the lc-module command, and

  • creates only trunk optics controllers and CoherentDSP controllers (no client ports are active in this mode).

The OTUCn-REGEN mode supports these features:

  • Trunk rate: 400G and 200G

  • Modulation type:

    • 16-QAM for 400G

    • 8-QAM, 16-QAM, and QPSK for 200G

  • Trunk optics: ONS-CFP2D-400G-C

  • Supported features: Loopbacks, TTI, AINS

Limitation:

GCC0 is not supported on the REGEN trunks.

FC-MXP modes on OTN-XP card

An FC-MXP mode is an LC mode on the OTN-XP card that

  • aggregates multiple Fibre Channel (FC) client signals onto a single high-rate OTN trunk wavelength,

  • supports 16G FC and 32G FC client data rates, and

  • uses the FC-MXP LC mode configured through the lc-module CLI command.

Run the commit command to save and apply the 16G FC muxponder configuration.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-hwmod-mxp)#commit

The OTN-XP card is configured in 16G FC muxponder mode. The 16G FC client traffic is aggregated onto a 400G OTN trunk.

Configure the OTN-XP card in 32G FC muxponder mode

Enable aggregation of multiple 32G Fibre Channel client streams onto a single 400G OTN trunk by configuring the OTN-XP card in 32G FC muxponder mode, maximizing transport efficiency and bandwidth utilization.

Before you begin

Ensure the FC-MXP LC mode is configured on the OTN-XP card before performing this configuration. For details, see Configure the LC mode.

The Production Software Maintenance Updates (SMU) for the Cisco IOS-XR Release 7.7.1 (ncs1004-sysadmin-7.7.1.CSCwb01852.tar) is mandatory to configure the latest port configurations for the 32G FC muxponder mode.

Follow these steps to configure the OTN-XP card in 32G FC-MXP mode.

Procedure

1.

Run the configure hw-module location location mxponder-slice mxponder-slice-number trunk-rate 400G client-port-rate client-port-number lane lane-number client-type fc32 command to configure the OTN-XP card in 32G FC-MXP mode.

This is a sample to configure 32G FC muxponder mode on slice 0 of the OTN-XP card:
