Description |
|---|---|---|
| DP04QSDD-E26-A1 support | Cisco IOS XR Release 25.4.1 | The DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable supports 400G ZR coherent probe functionality on the NCS1K14-EDFA2 card. The pluggable is tunable across C band frequency range and serves as a transponder performing probe functionality. The coherent probe provides link tests before provisioning an active service on the Optical fiber. Additionally, this pluggable allows PRBS monitoring on trunk ports without the need to enable maintenance mode. |
| 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. |
Coherent probe on EDFA2 card
This section explains how coherent probes function as link probes and are supported on EDFA2 cards across all C-band channels.
Supported pluggables for the EDFA2 card coherent probe port
This section lists and compares the features of DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 and DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable transceivers supported on the EDFA2 card’s coherent probe port.
