E-Series Circuit Protection
E-Series Circuit Protection
Different combinations of E-Series circuit configurations and SONET/SDH network topologies offer
different levels of E-Series circuit protection. Table 23-6 details the available protection.
Note Before making Ethernet connections, choose an STS/STM circuit size.
Note To make an STS-12c/VC4-4c Ethernet circuit, Ethernet cards must be configured in single-card
EtherSwitch or port-mapped mode. Multicard mode does not su pport STS-12c/VC4-4c Ethernet circuits.
E-Series Point-to-Point Ethernet Circuits
The ONS nodes can set up a point-to-point (straight) Et hernet circuit as single-card, port-mapped, or
multicard circuit (Figure 23-19).
Figure 23-19 Multicard EtherSwitch Point-to-Point Circuit
Single-card EtherSwitch and port-mapped modes provide a full STS-12 c of bandwidth between two
Ethernet circuit endpoints (Figure 23-20).
