The CE-100T-8 supports up to eight low order VCAT circuits. The available circuit sizes are VT1.5-nv, where n ranges from 1 to 64. The total number of VT members cannot exceed 168 VT1.5s with each of the two pools on the card supporting 84 VT1.5s. The user can create a maximum of two circuits at the largest low order VCAT circuit size, VT1.5-64v.

A user can combine CCAT high order, VCAT high order, and VCAT low order circuits in any way as long as there is a maximum of eight circuits and the mapper chip bandwidth restrictions are observed. The following table details the maximum density service combinations.

*This LO-VCAT Circuit combination is achievable if the first circuit created on the card is an LO VCAT circuit. If the first circuit created on the card is HO-VCAT or CCAT STS circuits, then a maximum of six LO-VCAT circuits can be added on the card.

CE-100T-8 STS/VT Allocation Tab

The CE-100T-8 has two pools, each with a maximum capacity of three STSs. At the CTC card-level view under the Maintenance tab, the STS/VT Allocation tab displays how the provisioned circuits populate the two pools. This information can be useful in freeing up the bandwidth required for provisioning a

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
