Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco ONS 15530
Connecting the 8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Card
fabric are configured using the CLI. The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card has redundant connections over
the backplane to the switch fabric on the active and standby CPU switch modules. Figure 3-19 shows the
connections.
Figure 3-19 8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Card Cable Connections
Note We strongly recommend configuring port pairs as FC only or GE only. Mixing FC and GE in a port
pair increases the FC signal latency between nodes.
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports up to four 8-port FC/GE aggregation cards for a total of 32 unprotected
client signals and up to three 8-port FC/GE aggregation cards for 24 protected client signals.
The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card is configurable on a single port basis. The SFPs enable this card to
support eight Fibre channel or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces running at full speed. The card has eight ports
on the client side and four 2.5-GE lanes on the trunk side.
The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card uses single-mode and multimode SFP optics 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 in the same port pair.
Note Only use Cisco-certified SFP optics for the 8-port FC/GE aggregation cards.
