Ethernet Cards
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
The Cisco ONS 15454 integrates Ethernet into a SONET platform through the use of Ethernet cards.
This chapter describes the E-Series, G-Series, ML-Series, and CE-Series Ethernet cards. For installation
and card turn-up procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. For ML-Series
configuration information, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the
Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.
