Chapter 5 Ethernet Cards
5.4.1 Slot Compatibility
Each E1000-2 card supports standards-based, Layer 2 Ethernet sw itching between its Ethernet interfaces
and SONET interfaces on the ONS 15454. The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag logically isolates traffic
(typically subscribers).
Multiple E-Series Ethernet cards installed in an ONS 15454 can act together as a single switching entity
or as independent single switches supporting a variety of SONET port c onfigurations.
You can create logical SONET ports by provisioning STS channels to the packet switch entity within the
ONS 15454. Logical ports can be created with a bandwidth granularity of STS-1. The ONS 15454
supports STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c circuit sizes.
Note When making an STS-12c circuit, the E-Series cards must be configured as single-card EtherSwitch.
5.4.1 Slot Compatibility
You can install the E1000-2 card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. The E1000-2 is compatible with the XCVT
card but not the XC10G or and XC-VXC-10G cards. The E1000-2-G is compatible with t he XC10G and
XC-VXC-10G.
5.4.2 E1000-2 Card-Level Indicators
The E1000-2 card faceplate has two card-level LED indicators, described in Table 5-7.
5.4.3 E1000-2 Port-Level Indicators
The E1000-2 card has one bicolor LED per port (Table 5-8). When the LED is solid green, it indicates
that carrier is detected, meaning an active network cable is installed. When the LED is off, it indicates
that an active network cable is not plugged into the port, or t he card is carrying unidirectional traffic.
When the LED flashes amber, it does so at a rate proportional to the level of traffic being received and
transmitted over the port.
Table 5-7 E1000-2 Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level Indicators Description
FAIL LED (Red) The red FAIL LED indicates that the card processor is not ready or that a
catastrophic software failure occurred on the E1000-2 c ard. As part of the
boot sequence, the FAIL LED is turned on until the software deems the card
operational.
ACT LED (Green) The green ACT LED provides the operation al status of the E1000-2. When
the ACT LED is green it indicates that the E1000-2 card is active and the
software is operational.
SF LED Not used.
