Chapter 17 CE-100T-8 Ethernet Operation
CE-100T-8 SONET Circuits and Features
If the CE-100T-8 card’s ToS setting is 255 (default) and the CoS setting is 7 (default), priority queueing
is not active on the card, and data gets sent to the default normal traffic queue. 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.
Note Priority queuing has no effect when flow control is enabled (default) on the CE-100T-8. Under flow
control a 6 kilobyte single-priority first in first out (FIFO) buffer fills, then a PAUSE frame is sent. This
results in the packet ordering priority becoming the responsibility of the external device, which is
buffering as a result of receiving the PAUSE flow-control frames.
Note Priority queuing has no effect when the CE-100T-8 is provisioned with STS-3C circuits. The STS-3c
circuit has more data capacity than Fast Ethernet, so CE-100T-8 buffering is not needed. Priority queuing
only takes effect when buffering occurs.
RMON and SNMP Support
The CE-100T-8 card features remote monitoring (RMON) that allows network operators to monitor the
health of the network with a network management system (NMS). The CE-100T-8 uses the ONG RMON.
The ONG RMON contains the statistics, history, alarms, and events MIB groups from the standard
RMON MIB, as well as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). A user can access RMON
threshold provisioning through TL1 or CTC. For RMON threshold provisioning with CTC, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide and the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide. For TL1
information, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide.
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 15454 Reference Manual.
CE-100T-8 SONET Circuits and Features
The CE-100T-8 has eight POS ports, numbered one through eight, which are exposed to management
with CTC or TL1. Each POS port is statically mapped to a matching Ethernet port. By clicking the
card-level Provisioning tab > POS Ports tab, the user can configure the Administrative State, Framing
Type, and Encapsulation Type. By clicking the card-level Performance tab > POS Ports tab, the user can
view the statistics, utilization, and history for the POS ports.
Available Circuit Sizes and Combinations
Each POS port terminates an independent contiguous SONET concatenation (CCAT) or virtual SONET
concatenation (VCAT). The SONET circuit is created for these ports through CTC or TL1 in the same
manner as a SONET circuit for a non-Ethernet line card. Table 17-3 shows the circuit sizes available for
the CE-100T-8 on the ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA.
