6.4 FC_MR-4 Card GBICs
Note Hitless software upgrades are not possible with an activation from 5.0 to 6.0 in enhanced card
mode. This is because the FPGA must be upgraded to support differential delay in enhanced
mode. Upgrades are still hitless with the line rate mode.
Remote Fibre Channel/FICON circuit bandwidth upgrades by means of integrated Cisco Transport
Controller (CTC)
Multiple management options through CTC, Cisco Transport Manager (CTM), TL1 (for SONET
only), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Differential delay compensation of up to 122 ms for diversely routed VCAT circuits
The FC_MR-4 payloads can be transported over the following protected circuit types, in addition to
unprotected circuits:
SNCP (CCAT circuits only)
MS-SPRing
PCA
The FC_MR-4 card supports high-order VCAT. See the “11.15 Virtual Concatenated Circuits” section
on page 11-25 for more information about VCAT circuits.
6.4 FC_MR-4 Card GBICs
The FC_MR-4 uses pluggable GBICs for client interfaces. Table 6-2 lists the GBICs that are compatible
with the FC_MR-4 card.
