Attribute

Description

Acceptable Values

Default Value

 

 

 

 

Training Mode

The training mode for the physical

Standard, Fast

Standard

 

port. In standard mode, the modem

Train

 

 

attempts to train using the method

 

 

 

specified by T1.413 Issue 2.

 

 

 

FastTrain mode is a proprietary,

 

 

 

optimized training algorithm that

 

 

 

works only if both the near and far

 

 

 

end modems are based on mutually

 

 

 

compatible chipsets. If this is not

 

 

 

the case, training results are

 

 

 

unpredictable. The value of this

 

 

 

attribute will apply to both

 

 

 

upstream and downstream

 

 

 

directions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

G.lite Mode

This attribute is only applicable to

Enabled, Disabled

Disabled

 

4 port FLEX cards. G.lite mode is

 

 

 

enabled on a per board basis so all

 

 

 

ports in the same board should

 

 

 

have the same value for this

 

 

 

attribute. If Enabled is selected, the

 

 

 

modem that the subscriber is

 

 

 

connected to will run in G.lite

 

 

 

mode. The board should be reset

 

 

 

after enabling this attribute.

 

 

 

Enabling this object will reset the

 

 

 

following attributes to their default

 

 

 

values; Interleaved Delay,

 

 

 

Overhead Frame, Incoming

 

 

 

Bandwidth and Outgoing

 

 

 

Bandwidth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overhead Frame

The overhead framing structure

ReducedMerged

Reduced

 

requested for the modem that the

Fast, Reduced

MergedFast

 

subscriber is connected to. If the

SeparateFast,

 

 

far end modem does not support

FullAsynch.,Full

 

 

this structure, the near end will fall

Synch

 

 

back to the highest number that the

 

 

 

far end supports. The same framing

 

 

 

structure must be used in both

 

 

 

directions.

Cisco Systems NI-1 manual Attribute Description

NI-1 specifications

Cisco Systems NI-1, a network infrastructure platform, is designed to address the evolving demands of modern digital networks. As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud services and IoT devices, Cisco has engineered the NI-1 to be adaptive, scalable, and secure, thereby enhancing overall network efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Cisco NI-1 is its robust support for Software Defined Networking (SDN). This technology allows for centralized control of the network, enabling administrators to manage policies and configurations more effectively. The NI-1 facilitates rapid deployment of new applications and services while streamlining network operations. Its SDN capabilities empower organizations to transform their networks into agile and responsive infrastructures.

Another significant aspect of the NI-1 is its integration with Cisco’s Intent-Based Networking (IBN) solution. This technology uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate network management tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. As a result, network teams can allocate resources quickly and address issues proactively, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing performance.

Security is also a major emphasis for the NI-1. The platform incorporates advanced security features, including end-to-end encryption, secure segmentation, and threat detection, ensuring that sensitive data flowing through the network remains protected. Cisco's security protocols seamlessly integrate with the NI-1, helping organizations to safeguard their digital assets against emerging threats.

In terms of scalability, the NI-1 is built to grow alongside an enterprise’s needs. With its modular architecture, businesses can easily expand their network capabilities by adding components as required. This flexibility is vital in today’s environment, where organizations may rapidly increase their network capacity or incorporate new technologies.

Moreover, the NI-1 supports a wide range of connectivity options, including Ethernet, wireless, and fiber, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Its modular design allows for easy upgrades, keeping the network current with technological advancements.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems NI-1 stands as a comprehensive solution to modern networking challenges. With its emphasis on SDN, IBN, advanced security measures, and flexibility, it positions businesses to thrive in an increasingly connected world. As companies continue to evolve in their digital transformation efforts, the NI-1 provides the necessary tools to enhance their operational efficiency and security.
