Use this procedure to configure the coherent probe, trunk rate, and trunk mode for the EDFA2 card, and verify your configuration.
NoteThe MEA alarm is raised if the DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 pluggable is inserted for 400G trunk rate configuration and DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable is inserted for 100G trunk rate configuration.
Use this task to configure coherent probe on the EDFA2 card.
Insert the DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 or DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable in the PROBE port.
Use the hw-module location <0/<slot-id>/NXR0> mxponder-slice <slice-number> command to configure the coherent probe, trunk rate, and trunk mode.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1

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.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#no hw-module location 0/2/NXR0 mxponder-slice 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-hwmod-mxp)#commitCommit the configuration and exit.

Ensure that coherent probe ports and slice configurations are properly provisioned and operating as expected by retrieving and reviewing status and inventory details.
Use this task to check the setup and operational state of coherent probe ports on NCS platforms. This verification helps you confirm hardware installation, provisioning, and troubleshoot potential issues using relevant show commands
Run the show inventory command to display physical inventory information for the coherent probe port.

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.
