SONET frames on STS-1, STS-3C or STS-12C, and T3 frames on STS-1 channels into a single circuit emulating pseudowire and transports it to a single destination over Packet Switched Network (PSN). The VCoP smart SFP feature is supported only on Cisco NCS 4201 and Cisco NCS 4202 Series. Note With effect from Cisco IOS XE 16.5.1S Release, VCoP smart SFP supports T3 mode.
• Both OCx and PDH are supported on Cisco NCS 4201 and NCS 4202 Routers. Benefits of VCoP Smart SFP • Supports channelization upto STS1 channel • Reduces network complexity Prerequisites • The Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) endpoints are up and running fine between the PE nodes.
• The T3 mode supports 1 CEP circuit and can sustain the traffic up to 45mbps. • The Cisco NCS 4201 supports a maximum of 12 VCoP smart SFPs and only on GE ports of the top row. • The Cisco NCS 4202 supports a maximum of eight VCoP smart SFPs and on all GE and 10GE ports.
Configuring VCoP Smart SFP Before You Begin Ensure MPLS and IGP are active between the PE nodes. VCoP smart SFP supports the following valid CEP Pseudo Wire (PW) configurations: Note Mode CEP PWs OC-3 3* STS-1 or 1* STS-3c OC-12 Valid mix of STS-1, STS-3c or STS-12c 1*STS-1 You can configure VCoP smart SFP on OC-3 or OC-12 mode.
