ML-Series Feature List
ML-Series Feature List
The ML-100T-8 has the following features:
• Layer 1 data features:
– 10/100BASE-TX half-duplex and full-duplex data transmission
– IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control
• SONET features:
– High-level data link control (HDLC) or frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F)
framing mechanisms for POS
– GFP-F supports LEX (default), Cisco HDLC, and Point-to-Point Protocol/Bridging Control
Protocol (PPP/BCP) encapsulation for POS
– HDLC framing supports LEX encapsulation only
– Two POS virtual ports
– Virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits with Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) or
without LCAS
– ONS 15310 ML-Series LCAS is compatible with ONS 15454 ML-Series SW-LCAS
• Layer 2 bridging features:
– Transparent bridging
– MAC address learning, aging, and switching by hardware
– Protocol tunneling
– Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) protocol tunneling
– 255 active bridge group maximum
– 8,000 MAC address maximum per card
– Integrated routing and bridging (IRB)
– IEEE 802.1P/Q-based VLAN trunking
– IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tunneling
– IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and IEEE 802.1W Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP)
– IEEE 802.1D STP instance per bridge group
– Resilient packet ring (RPR)
– VLAN-transparent and VLAN-specific services (Ethernet Relay Multipoint Service [ERMS])
• Fast EtherChannel (FEC) features:
– Bundling of up to four Fast Ethernet ports
– Load sharing based on source and destination IP addresses of unicast packets
– Load sharing for bridge traffic based on MAC addresses
– IRB
– IEEE 802.1Q trunking
– Up to 4 active FEC port channels
• POS channel:
