5.1 Ethernet Card Overview
The card overview section summarizes the Ethernet card functions and provides the software
compatibility for each card.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide for a list of slots and symbols.

E100T-12 The E100T-12 card provides 12 switched, autosensing,
10/100BaseT Ethernet ports and is compatible with the
XCVT card.
See the “5.2 E100T-12 Card”
section on page 5-4.
E100T-G The E100T-G card provides 12 switched, autosensing,
10/100BaseT Ethernet ports and is compatible with the
XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards.
See the “5.3 E100T-G Card”
section on page 5-6.
E1000-2 The E1000-2 card provides two IEEE-compliant,
1000-Mbps ports. Gigabit Interface Converters
(GBICs) are separate.
See the “5.4 E1000-2 Card”
section on page 5-9.
E1000-2-G The E1000-2-G card provides two IEEE-compliant,
1000-Mbps ports. GBICs are separate. The E1000-2-G
card is compatible with the XC10G and XC-VXC-10G
cards.
See the “5.5 E1000-2-G Card”
section on page 5-11.
G1000-4 The G10 00-4 card provides four IEEE-compliant,
1000-Mbps ports. GBICs are separate. The G1000-4
requires the XC10G card.
See the “5.6 G1000-4 Card”
section on page 5-14
G1K-4 The G1K-4 card provides four IEEE-compliant,
1000-Mbps ports. GBICs are separate. The G1K-4 card
is functionally identical to the G1000-4 card, but can
operate with XCVT, XC10G and XC-VXC-10G
cross-connect cards.
See the “5.7 G1K-4 Card”
section on page 5-16.
