Connecting the 8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Card
Figure 3-18 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC Aggregation Card Cable Connections
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports up to four 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards for a total of
16 unprotected and protected client signals and up to three 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards
for 12 protected client signals.
The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards is configurable on a single port basis. The SFPs enable
this card to support four Fibre channel, FICON, or ISC interfaces running at full speed. The card has
four ports on the client side and four 2.5-GE lanes on the trunk side.
The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card uses single-mode and multimode SFPs for the client
signals. There are no restrictions on populating the line card with SFPs. For example, you can mix a
single-mode SFP optic with a multimode SFP optic.
Note Only use Cisco-certified SFPs for the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards.
Connecting the 8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Card
The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card accepts up to eight Cisco-certified SFP (small form-factor
pluggable) optics for client traffic. Each SFP supports either FC, FICON, GE or ISC, depending on how
it is configured in the CLI. The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card converts client signals from two adjacent
port pairs (0–1, 2–3, 4–5, or 6–7) from optical form to electrical form, and then aggregates them into
four 2.5-Gbps signals over the backplane. These aggregated signals pass through the backplane and the
switch fabric on the active CPU switch module to a 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card, a 10-Gbps ITU trunk card,
or a 10-Gbps uplink card. The cross connections between the two cards through the backplane and switch
