CE-100T-8 Ethernet Operation
This chapter describes the operation of the CE-100T-8 (Carrier Ethernet) card supported on the
Cisco ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA (15310-CE-100T-8). A CE-100T-8 card is also supported on
the ONS 15454 (15454-CE-100T-8). Provisioning is done through Cisco Transport Controller ( CTC) or
Transaction Language One (TL1). Cisco IOS is not supported on the C E-100T-8 card.
For Ethernet card specifications, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual. For step-by-step
Ethernet card circuit configuration procedures and hard-reset and soft-reset procedures, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. For TL1 provisioning commands, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET
TL1 Command Guide. For specific details on ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA Ethernet card
interoperability with other ONS platforms, refer to the “POS on ONS Ethernet Cards” chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration
Guide.

CE-100T-8 Overview

The CE-100T-8 is a Layer 1 mapper card with eight 10/100 Ethernet ports. It maps each p ort to a unique
SONET circuit in a point-to-point configuration. Figure 17-1 illustrates a sample CE-100T-8
application. In this example, data traffic from the Fast Ethernet port of a switch travels across the
point-to-point circuit to the Fast Ethernet port of another switch.

The CE-100T-8 cards allow you to provision and manage an Ethernet private line service like a
traditional SONET line. CE-100T-8 card applications include providing Ethernet private line services
and high-availability transport. It supports ITU-T G.707 and Telcordia GR-253 based standards for
SONET.
