Do you mean these card GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPEcan be tuned to any wavelength over the band?

I think they are not tunable. If i get contradicting info will let you know.

Who knows about whether these cards can devide the different services into different wavelengths by VLAN.

In the transponder/muxponder card terminology, SVLAN and CVLAN and Service provider VLAN (trunk side transport) and Customer VLAN (client side transport), respectively.

One can map given CVLANs to SVLANs. However, given that any one 10GE card only has a single trunk side interface, all of its defined SVLANs will be carried on that interface and associated wavelength.

I suppose if you had a chassis with multiple 10GE cards and thus multiple trunk side wavelengths, some of them would have certain CVLAN/SVLAN associations defined and others would differ. This would be more of what I would call a characteristic of the system rather than a design goal.

The differentiation of services is in the CVLAN-SVLAN mapping and, potentially, in the CoS policies one applies to those VLANs.

HTH, please rate helpful posts.

i am a little puzzled of what you said.

i am sure that GE-XPE card can support work together by using jumper cord, and in this situation the trunk port is configed as short-distance Laser Module. I mean the GE-XPE cards can share the trunk line port together, so can you direct answer my question, if the different service can devide into different wavelengths?

I have no idea about this jumper but the GE_XPE card can be configured in following modes

L2 over DWDM: In this mode if you want any VLAN to be protected then same vlan will go out from both the trunk ports but one port will be in blocking state (Like STP). It will open only when the working side fails.

In short you are using both trunks but for Ethernet ring protection.

10GE TXP: Only for 10GE_XPE , in this client & trunk have 1 to 1 mapping.

10GE MXP : Only for GE_XPE , in this also 1 to 1 mapping here 10 1G clients ports are mapped to 1 10G port.

20GE MXP: Only for GE_XPE Here you can map all the 20 1G to 1 10G ports.

see this link for more info about card modes

Whatever told above can be easily seen with the help of pictues (i think this link will help you a lot)

http://my.cisco.ru/expoclub/materials/20090619/2.1%20Xponder%209.0.pdf

So different services cannot be divided into different wavelength if they are comming from same client port (either 1 10G or 10 1G client port).

But if you segregate different services into your switch,then you can send one kind of service to one client port & other service to other client port so they are going on different trunk port.

I dont have direct answer to your question but if this info can make sense with other post.

In switch, backplane has access to all the ports including trunk where all vlan can pass to another switch.

If i draw an anology with SDH/SONET box they have a crossconnect which can access all ports. So an E1/T1 coming can be crossconnected to line card (High speed card)

But in pure DWDM boxes there in NO crossconnect ( there are Optical Crossconnect )which has access to all ports. In pure DWDM Transponder, muxponder has a client signal and Trunk so whatever comes can go on that wavelngth. There are Optical crossconnect but they switch the whole wavlength and you cannot crossconnect comming on 1 card to many cards.

All,

Where is the DATASHEET or DATASHEET's for the GE_XP GE_XPE 10GE_XP or 10GE_XPE ???

I can't seem to find any thing about these cards under the 15400 product line drill down on Cisco's support site?

We've implemented a GE_XP on one of our 454's, and this was done before I came on board.  I'd like to

familiarize myself with the card, its options, config, etc...

Anyone that can dump their tech info on these cards would be really appreciated!!!!!!!

The GE data sheet is missing the part numbers... I have already mentioned this to Cisco...

Hope this helps!
