Port 5 belongs to Pool 2

For example if a user needs to provision an STS-3c or STS-1-3v on the CE-100T-8 card shown in Figure 17-4, an STS-3c or STS-1-3v worth of bandwidth is not available from either of the two pools. The user needs to delete circuits from the same pool to free up bandwidth. If the bandwidth is available but scattered among the pools, the circuit cannot be provisioned.

Looking at the POS Port Map table, the user can determine which circuits belong to which pools. The Pool and Port columns in Figure 17-4show that the circuit on port 5 is drawn from Pool 2, and no other circuits are drawn from Pool 2. Deleting this one circuit will free up an STS-3c or STS-1-3v worth of bandwidth from a single pool.

The POS Port table has a row for each port with three columns (Figure 17-4). They show the port number, the circuit size and type, and the pool it is drawn from. The Pool Utilization table has two columns and shows the pool number, the type of circuits on that pool, how much of the pool’s capacity is being used, and whether additional capacity is available.

CE-100T-8 VCAT Characteristics

The ML-100T-8 card and the CE-100T-8 card (both the version for the ONS 15310-CL and

ONS 15310-MA and the version for the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH) have hardware-based support for the ITU-T G.7042 standard link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS). This allows the user to dynamically resize a high order or low order VCAT circuit through CTC or TL1 without affecting other members of the VCG (errorless). ML-100T-8 LCAS support is high order only and is limited to a two member VCG.

To enable end-to-end connectivity in a VCAT circuit that traverses through a third-party network, you must create a server trail between the ports. For more details, refer to the "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Procedure Guide.

15310-CL, 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
