DLP- A514 Provision CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 POS Ports
DLP-A514 Provision CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 POS Ports
Note You can provision SONET CCAT or VCAT circuits for the CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 before or after
provisioning the card’s Ethernet ports and/or POS ports. See the “NTP-A257 Create an Automatically
Routed Optical Circuit” procedure on page6-38 or the “NTP-A264 Create an Automatically Routed
VCAT Circuit” procedure on page6-82, as needed.
Step1 In node view, double-click the CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 card graphic to open the card.
Step2 Click the Provisioning > POS Ports tabs.
Step3 For each CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 port, provision the following parameters:
•Port Name—If you want to label the port, enter the port name.
•Admin State—Choose IS to put the port in service.
•Framing Type—Choose GPF-F POS framing (the default) or HDLC POS framing. The framing
type needs to match the framing type of the POS device at the end of the SONET circuit.
•Encap CRC—With GFP-F framing, the user can configure a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
(the default) or none (no CRC). HDLC framing provides a set 32-bit CRC. The CRC should be set
to match the CRC of the POS device on the end of the SONET circuit.
Note For more details about the interoperabilty of Optical Networking System (ONS) Ethernet
cards, including information on encapsulation, framing, and CRC, refer to the “POS on ONS
Ethernet Cards” chapter of the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for
the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.
Note The CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 cards use LEX encapsulation, which is the primary POS
encapsulation used in ONS Ethernet cards.
