Description

DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 support

 Cisco IOS XR Release 25.1.1

The DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 QDD pluggable is a coherent probe supported for the EDFA2 card. This pluggable supports C-band with tunable frequency.

You can plug the coherent probe pluggable to establish a link for the first time in DWDM.

DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 pluggable

The EDFA2 card supports a QSFP-DD pluggable transceiver that generates tunable C-band frequency. You can establish a link for the first time by connecting the pluggable to the coherent probe port.

DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 pluggable supports these features:

  • Tunable C-band frequency

  • CoherentDSP controller in optics port 7

  • Only ZR trunk mode support

  • Only HundredGig trunk rate support

  • OFEC is the only supported Forward Error Correction

  • PRBS support for CoherentDSP

Coherent Probe on EDFA2 card

The DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 QDD, a Probe that is QSFP-DD MSA-compliant and supported on the EDFA2 card, can be used as a link probe and supports all C-band channels.

The coherent probe on the NCS1K14-EDFA2 card is provided as optics port 7.

Configure coherent probe on the EDFA2 card

Use this task to configure coherent probe on the EDFA2 card.

Before you begin

Insert the DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 pluggable in the PROBE port.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the hw-module location <0/<slot-id>/NXR0> mxponder-slice <slice-number> command to configure the coherent probe, trunk rate, and trunk mode.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-hwmod-mxp)#trunk-rate 100G
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-hwmod-mxp)#trunk-mode ZR

Use the no hw-module location <0/<slot-id>/NXR0> mxponder-slice <slice-number> command to remove or disable the slice configuration.

Example:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CohNode2(config)#no hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CohNode2(config-hwmod-mxp)#commit

Step 2

Commit the configuration and exit.

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

Step 3

Run the command show hw-module location 0/<slot-id>/NXR0> mxponder-slice <slice-number> to verify the configuration.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#show hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1
Tue Mar 11 01:55:20.764 IST

Verify Coherent Probe configurations

Use these steps to verify various coherent probe configurations:

Procedure

Step 1

Run the show inventory command to retrieve and display the physical inventory information of the coherent probe port.

Example:

RP/0RP0/CPU0:CohNode2#show inventory location 0/2/NXR0
Tue Mar 11 01:41:39.512 IST

PID: DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1   , VID: V01 , SN: ACA282500L2

Step 2

Run the show hw-module location command to verify the coherent probe configuration.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CohNode2#show hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1
Tue Mar 11 01:55:20.764 IST
Location:             0/2/NXR0

Configure PRBS on EDFA2 card

The EDFA2 card supports PRBS configuration only on Coherent Probe port.

For EDFA2 card, you can configure PRBS only for coherentDSP without setting the secondary admin state of the controllers to maintenance.

Use this task to configure PRBS without maintenance state.

Procedure

Step 1

Enter the controller coherentDSP R/S/I/P command to enter the coherentDSP controller configuration mode.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller CoherentDSP0/0/0/7

Step 2

Enter the prbs mode {source | sink | source-sink} pattern {pn31 | pn23 | pn15 | pn7} to configure the PRBS mode and pattern.

Example:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-CoDSP)#prbs mode source-sink pattern pn15

Step 3

Commit the changes.

Example:


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

Verify PRBS

Use these steps to verify CoherentDSP controller PRBS details and performance monitoring details.

Procedure

Step 1

Run the Show controllers coherentDSP <R/S/I/P> prbs-details command to display PRBS details configured on a coherentDSP controller.
