CE-100T-8 Ethernet Operation
This chapter covers the operation of the CE-100T-8 (Carrier Ethernet) card supported on the ONS 15310
(15310-CE-100T-8). A CE-100T-8 card is also supported on the ONS 15454 (15454-CE-100T-8).
Provisioning is done through Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or Transaction Language One (TL1).
Cisco IOS is not supported on the CE-100T-8 card.
For Ethernet card specifications, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL Reference Manual. For step-by-step
Ethernet card circuit configuration procedures and hard-reset and soft-reset procedures, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15310-CL Procedure Guide. Refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide for TL1
provisioning commands. For specific details on ONS 15310-CL Ethernet card interoperability with other
ONS platforms, refer to the "POS on ONS Ethernet Cards" chapter of the Ethernet Card Software
Feature and Configuration Guide for the ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15454, and ONS 15327.

CE-100T-8 Overview
The CE-100T-8 is a Layer 1 mapper card with eight 10/100 Ethernet ports. It maps each port to a unique
SONET circuit in a point-to-point configuration.
application. In this example, data traffic from the Fast Ethernet port of a switch travels across the
point-to-point circuit to the Fast Ethernet port of another switch.

The CE-100T-8 cards allow you to provision and manage an Ethernet private line service like a
traditional SONET line. CE-100T-8 card applications include providing Ethernet private line services
and high-availability transport.

Software upgrades are errorless. However when the CE-100T-8 firmware is upgraded, the upgrade has an effect on traffic similar to the effect of a hard reset on the CE-100T-8. A software upgrade or a firmware upgrade does not affect the existing provisioning of the ports and circuits on the CE-100T-8 card. -
Page 3: Ethernet Link Integrity Support
End-to-end Ethernet link integrity means that if any part of the end-to-end path fails, the entire path fails. It disables the Ethernet port on the CE-100T-8 card if the remote Ethernet port is unable to transmit over the SONET network or if the remote Ethernet port is disabled. - Page 4 For an IP ToS-tagged packet, the CE-100T-8 can map any of the 256 priorities specified in IP ToS to priority or best effort. The user can configure a different ToS on CTC at the card-level view under the Provisioning >...

Also if data is not tagged with a ToS value or a CoS value before it enters the CE-100T-8 card, it gets sent to the default normal traffic queue. -
Page 6: Statistics And Counters
CE-100T-8 SONET Circuits and Features Statistics and Counters The CE-100T-8 has a full range of Ethernet and POS statistics under Performance > Ether Ports or Performance > POS Ports. These are detailed in the “Performance Monitoring” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310 Reference Manual. - Page 7 None None 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.

The ONS 15454 SONET/SDH ML-Series card has a software-based LCAS (SW-LCAS) scheme. This scheme is also supported by both the ML-100T-8 card and both versions of the CE-100T-8, but only for circuits terminating on a ONS 15454 SONET/SDH ML-Series card. -
