Cisco Systems MGX 8230 manual MGX-FRSM-2CT3 Features, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 Features

Chapter 6 Card and Service Configuration

Frame Service Module Features

•Hot standby with 1:1 redundancy (see sections for individual FRSM card types).

•Resource partitioning at the card level or port level.

•Bit error rate test (BERT) functions for all card types except the HSSI card types. For a description of BERT on the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, see the forthcoming section titled “Bit Error Rate Testing on an Unchannelized T3 or E3 FRSM.” Running a BERT session on an MGX-FRSM-2CT3 or an eight-port FRSM requires a set of MGX-SRM-3T3s in the system. For a description of BERT on these cards, see the section titled “Bit Error Rate Testing Through an MGX-SRM-3T3.”

•User-selectable weighted fair queuing or fixed-rate queuing. The user can select either fixed-rate queuing to provide highest egress port speed while reducing quality of service or weighted fair queuing to provide maximum quality of service but slower egress port speed. This feature applies to the FRSM-2CT3, FRSM-2T3E3, and FRSM-HS2 cards.

•Subrate support is provided for the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 card. This feature applies to the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 card only when used with Digital Link equipment.

Note Subrate capability is not supported on Kentrox equipment.

•Zero CIR Service for FRSM-VHS and FRSM-8T1 and FRSM-8E1 cards

•OAM Continuity Traffic Generation Test for use on defective PVCs

MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 Features

The specific features are:

•Fractional T3 speeds available through either the Digital Link or ADC Kentrox method

•Supports running lines at subrates when used with Digital Link equipment
