Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card consists of a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive ESD strap whenever you are handling a line card.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms. |
The Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers provide high-speed, high-volume routing of packets and ATM cells. The Cisco 12000 series includes the following platforms, all sharing a similar architecture:
The GSR architecture offers the following features and capabilities in providing support to IP-based local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs):
In addition, the system allows for redundant, field-replaceable units (FRUs).
The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card equips the Cisco series 12000 GSR with a total of two OC-12c fiber-optic SC duplex ports. The line card provides two duplex SC connections for either the single-mode or multimode version. The synchronous payload envelope (SPE) is concatenated, which increases efficiency by eliminating the need to partition the bandwidth. The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card is slot independent.
The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card allows networks to:
Figure 1 shows a high-level block diagram of the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card.

Figure 2 shows front and rear views of the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card for the single-mode and multimode versions.
Each line card has the following main components:
The multimode transceiver version provides two full-duplex, 622 megabits per second (Mbps), 1310-nanometer (nm), LED-based, SONET/SDH-compliant interfaces, with a power rating of -20 to -14 decibles per milliwatt (dBm) transmitting and -26 to -14 dBm receiving. The multimode transceiver operates at a distance of up to (500 meters or 1640 feet). The actual distance in any given case depends on the quality of the fiber attached to the transceiver.
The single-mode intermediate-reach transceiver version provides two full-duplex, 622-Mbps, 1310-nm, laser-based, SONET/SDH-compliant interfaces, with a power rating of -15 to -8 dBm transmitting and -28 to -8 dBm receiving. The single-mode intermediate-reach transceiver operates at a distance of up to 15 kilometers (km).
The single-mode long-reach transceiver version provides two full-duplex, 622-Mbps, 1310-nm, laser-based, SONET/SDH-compliant interfaces, with a power rating of -3 to 2 dBm transmitting and -28 to -8 dBm receiving. The single-mode long-reach transceiver operates at a distance of up to 40 km. The actual distance in any given case depends on the quality of the fiber attached to the transceiver. The single-mode interfaces meet both IEC 825 and CDRH Class I safety standards.
The 1 megabyte (MB) burst buffer prevents packets from being dropped when there are instantaneous increases in the number of back-to-back small packets being transmitted at OC-12/STM4 line rates. Burst buffers provide high throughput and smooth out the arriving packet burst for the Layer 3 switch processor.
Each line card has two silicon queuing engines: receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx). The receive engine moves packets from the burst buffer to the switch fabric, and the transmit engine moves packets from the switch fabric to the transmit interface.
When an incoming IP packet is clocked into the silicon queuing engine, the silicon queuing engine verifies the packet's integrity by checking the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value, transfers the IP packet to buffer memory, then conveys the location of the IP to the Layer 3 switching accelerator. The forwarding processor then instructs the silicon queuing engine on where to place the IP packet within the virtual output queue.
Each virtual output queue represents a line card. This placement of the IP packets in a virtual output queue is based on the decision that is made by the forwarding processor. There is one virtual output queue for each line card, plus a dedicated virtual output queue for multicast service.
The transmit silicon queuing engine moves the packet from the switch fabric to the transmit buffer, then to the transmit interface.
The silicon queuing engine controls the placement of IP packets in buffer memory, as well as the removal from buffer memory. The default packet buffer memory is 32 MB, which includes 16 MB of receive buffers and 16 MB of transmit buffers. The buffer memory can increase to 64 MB of receive buffers and 64 MB of transmit buffers. The buffers can support delays comparable to the longest round-trip delays measured on the Internet at OC-12 line rates.
The Layer 3 switching accelerator assists the forwarding processor. It is a specially designed, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that optimizes access to the Layer 3 information within each packet. An ASIC is used to execute this access process as rapidly as possible.
A forwarding processor makes forwarding decisions, based on the information in the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) table and the Layer 3 information in the packet. The Gigabit Route Processor (GRP) constantly updates information in the forwarding table, based on the latest information in the routing table. The forwarding processor is an R5000 RISC processor operating at 250 MHz.
Once it makes the forwarding decision, the forwarding processor notifies the silicon queuing engine, which places the packet in the proper queue.
This partitioning between the Layer 3 switching accelerator and the forwarding processor blends the high throughput of hardware-accelerated forwarding with the flexibility of software-based routing.
The switch fabric interface is the same 5.0-Gigabits per second (Gbps), full-duplex data path to the switching fabric that the GRP uses. Once a packet is in the proper queue, the switch fabric interface issues a request to the master clock scheduler on the clock and scheduler card (CSC). The scheduler grants the request and transfers the packet across the switching fabric.
A maintenance bus (MBus) module on the line card responds to requests from the master MBus module on the GRP. The line card MBus module can report temperature and voltage information to the master MBus module. In addition, the MBus module on the line card contains the ID-EEPROM, which stores the serial number, hardware revision level, and other information about the card.
Each line card maintains Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) memory tables. These tables, derived from routing tables maintained by the GRP, are used by the line card processor to make forwarding decisions. Large networks may require more dynamic rapid access memeory (DRAM) to support large CEF tables. For information on adding memory to a line card, see the publication Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Router Memory Replacement Instructions.

To ensure compatibility with the software your 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card should have a hardware revision level of 73-5189-01 Rev. A0 for single-mode intermediate reach, 73-5190-01
Rev. A0 for single-mode long reach, or 73-5188-01 Rev. A0 for multimode. The hardware revision number is printed on a label that is affixed to the component side of the card. You can also display the hardware revision number using the show diag and show hardware commands. (See "Software Version Requirements.")
The SONET specification for fiber-optic transmission defines two types of fiber: single-mode and multimode. Signals can travel farther through single-mode fiber than through multimode fiber.
The maximum distance for single-mode installations is determined by the amount of light loss in the fiber path. Good quality single-mode intermediate-reach fiber with very few splices can carry an OC-12/STM-4 signal about 9 miles (15 km). Single-mode long-reach fiber can carry the OC-12/STM-4 signal about 25 miles (40 km). Multimode fiber can carry the signal up to 1640 feet (500 meters). If your environment requires the signal to travel close to the typical maximum distance (as listed in Table 1), use an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to measure the power loss.
| Transceiver | Power Budget | Transmit Power | Receive Power | Typical Maximum Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Multimode | 6 dB | -26 to -14 dBm | 1640 feet (500 meters) | |
Single-mode | 12 dB | -15 to -8 dBm at 1270 to 1380 nm | -28 to -8 dBm | 9 miles (15 km) |
Single-mode | 25 dB | -3 to 2 dBm at 1270 to 1380 nm | -28 to -8 dBm | 25 miles (40 km) |
| 1dBm = decibels per milliwatt 2nm = nanometer |

This section describes the line card slot locations in the following Cisco 12000 series routers:
Before installing your line card into the router, verify that a line card slot is available.
The Cisco 12016 GSR chassis has three integral card cages: the upper card cage, the lower card cage, and the switch fabric card cage. You can install line cards in the upper or lower card cage.
The upper card cage has eight user-configurable slots that support the following types of cards in the quantities indicated:
![]() |
Note If the router is equipped with an optional, redundant GRP, it must be installed in the far left slot of the lower card cage (slot 8). If the router is not equipped with an optional, redundant GRP, a line card can be installed in slot 8 of the lower card cage. |
The lower card cage in the Cisco 12016 GSR has eight user-configurable slots, numbered 8 through 15, that support the following types of cards in the quantities indicated:
![]() |
Note The lower card cage is an inverted, or head-down, copy of the upper card cage, meaning cards are installed the same way they are installed in the upper card cage, but in an inverted or head-down orientation. |
Figure 3 shows the location of the line card slots in the Cisco 12016 GSR.

Figure 4 shows the location of the line card slots in the Cisco 12012 router. The Cisco 12012 router has 12 user-configurable slots that support a combination of line cards and a Gigabit Route Processor (GRP). Line cards are installed in the upper card cage. The right-most slot in the upper card cage supports a non-configurable alarm card. Although you can insert the GRP into any line card slot, Figure 4 shows the GRP in slot 0, which is what Cisco recommends.

Figure 5 shows the location of the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 router. The upper card cage contains ten slots that accommodate the following types of cards in the quantities indicated:

Use a single-mode, intermediate-mode or multimode fiber-optic interface cable to connect your Cisco 12000 series router to another router or switch. In general, multimode cables are gray or orange, and single-mode cables are yellow.
![]() |
Note Single-mode, intermediate mode, and multimode fiber-optic cables are available from the following cable vendors: AMP, Anixter, AT&T, Red-Hawk, and Siemens. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. |
For SONET/SDH single-mode and multimode fiber-optic connections, use one duplex SC-type connector (see Figure 6) or two Simplex SC-type connectors (see Figure 7).


Attach either one duplex fiber cable or two simplex fiber cables between the line card and the device to which the line card is connected. Observe the receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) cable relationship shown in Figure 8.

Note The fiber-optic connectors must be free of dust, oil, and other contaminants. Carefully clean the fiber-optic connectors using a fiber cleaning kit. |
The cable-management system in the Cisco 12000 series router organizes the interface cables entering and exiting the system, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends. Excessive bending in an interface cable can degrade performance and possibly harm the cable.
The cable-management system consists of two separate components:
Figure 9 shows a cable-management bracket that can be mounted on a Cisco 12012 GSR.

Figure 10 shows the cable-management tray and a line card cable-management bracket on a Cisco 12012 chassis. The cable-management tray on the Cisco 12008 is similar in form and function to the tray on the Cisco 12012.

The Cisco 12016 has a cable-management tray for the upper card cage that is positioned above the upper line card slots, and a cable-management tray for the lower card cage that is positioned below the lower line card slots. In addition, there are vertical cable troughs on either side of the card cages that keep the cables organized and secured. See Figure 11.

This section describes the procedures for installing or replacing a 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card and contains the following procedures:
(See the following section, "Guidelines for Line Card Removal and Installation," before removing a line card while power to the system is on.)
![]() |
Note The procedures in the following sections use illustrations of a Cisco 12012 GSR to support the descriptions of removing and installing line cards. Although the card cages of the Cisco 12000 series routers differ in the number of card slots, the designated use of slots and the process of removing and installing a line card are basically the same. Therefore, separate procedures and illustrations for the Cisco 12016 GSR and Cisco 12008 GSR are not included in this publication. |
![]() |
Note Before you remove a line card, Cisco recommends that you shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured line card. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command display. |
![]() |
Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one line card at a time. Also, after inserting or removing a line card, allow at least 15 seconds before removing or inserting another line card, so that the system can reinitialize and note the current configuration of all interfaces. |
You can remove and replace line cards while the system is operating; you do not need to reconfigure the software or reset the system power. This functionality allows you to add, remove, or replace line cards with the system online, which provides a method that is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.
When you reinstall a line card, the system automatically downloads the necessary software from the GRP. After that, the system brings online only those interfaces that match the current configuration and that were previously configured as up. You must configure all others with the configure command. (For 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card configuration information, refer to the section "Configuring Interfaces on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP Line Card.")
![]() |
Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one line card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another line card. |
Each line card has two ejector levers that allow you to release the card from its backplane connector when you are removing the line card, and to firmly seat the line card in its backplane connector when you are installing the line card. The ejector levers align and seat the card connectors in the backplane.
When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the line card connector pins disconnect from the backplane. Any line card that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the system.
Similarly, when you install a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the line card is correctly aligned with the backplane connector, the card connector pins make contact with the backplane in the correct order, and the line card is fully seated in the backplane. A card that is only partially seated in the backplane can cause the system to hang, and subsequently crash.
Use Figure 12 as a reference for the procedures in this section.

Note Before you remove a line card, Cisco recommends that you shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured line card. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command display. |
To remove line card interface cables perform the following steps:
Step 2 Disconnect and remove the line card interface cables and line card cable-management bracket (See Figure 12.)
a. Disconnect the interface cable connectors from the line card interface ports.
b. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the ends of the line card cable-management bracket.
c. Detach the line card cable-management bracket from the line card and set it aside.
![]() |
Note Do not remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket. The bracket is equipped with a small hook on one end for hanging the bracket and cables from the cable-management tray or bracket on the chassis. |
If you are replacing a failed line card, remove the existing card first, and then install the new line card in the same slot. The Cisco 12000 series GSR supports online line card insertion and removal, which means that you can remove and replace line cards while the system remains powered up.
![]() |
Note Before you remove a line card, Cisco recommends that you use the shutdown command to disable the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured line card. When you shut down an interface, it is designated as administratively down in the show command display. |
To remove a line card, use Figure 13 and a reference and perform the following steps:
![]() |
Caution When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the card connector pins disconnect from the backplane. Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the system. |
Step 2 Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from each other to release the line card from the backplane connector. (See Figure 13b.)
Step 3 Grasp the ejector levers and pull the line card half-way out of the slot.
Step 4 Grasp the line card faceplate with one hand and pull the line card straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the line card to guide it. (See Figure 13c.) Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.
Step 5 Place the removed line card on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic bag if you plan to return it to the factory.
Step 6 If the line card slot is to remain empty, install a line card blank (Cisco product number 800-03004-01) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the line card compartment. Secure the line card blank to the chassis by tightening its captive screws.
A line card slides into any available line card slot and connects directly to the backplane.
If you install a new line card, you must first remove the line card blank from the available slot. Refer to the procedures in the section "Removing a Line Card," earlier in this publication.
![]() |
Note You can install the line card in any available line card slot. Although you can insert the GRP into any line card slot, Cisco recommends placing the GRP in slot 0. For information on line card slot locations, refer to the section "Cisco 12000 Series Line Card Slot Locations," earlier in this publication. |
![]() |
Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one line card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another line card. |
Use the following procedure to install a line card:
Step 2 Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD connection socket on the chassis or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
Step 3 Choose an available line card slot for the line card, and verify that the line card's interface cable is long enough for you to connect the line card with any external equipment.
![]() |
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle line cards by the card carrier edges only. |
Step 4 Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier to support the weight of the card; position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.
Step 5 Carefully slide the line card into the slot until the ejector levers make contact with the edges of the card cage, then stop. Make sure the ejector lever hooks catch the lip of the card cage. (See Figure 14.)

![]() |
Caution When you install a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the card is correctly aligned with the backplane connector, the card connector pins make contact with the backplane in the correct order, and the card is fully seated in the backplane. A card that is only partially seated in the backplane can cause the system to hang and subsequently crash. |
Step 6 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other until they are perpendicular to the line card faceplate. This action firmly seats the card in the backplane.
Step 7 Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on each end of the line card faceplate to ensure proper EMI shielding and to prevent the line card from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane. (These screws must be tightened to meet EMI specifications.)
![]() |
Caution To ensure adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive installation screws on each newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws also prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for the system. |
Step 8 Reinstall the line card cable-management bracket (see Figure 12, previously shown).
a. Unhook the line card cable-management bracket from the chassis cable-management tray or bracket.
b. Position the line card cable-management bracket over the front of the line card faceplate.
c. Insert and tighten the captive screw at each end of the line card cable-management bracket to secure the bracket to the line card.
Step 9 Plug the interface cable connectors into their original ports on the line card faceplate.
This section contains the following procedures:
The following procedures assume that you have installed a new line card in the router. You must also install a line card cable-management bracket on the line card.
To install a line card cable-management bracket on a line card, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Attach the line card cable-management bracket to the line card as follows:
a. Position the line card cable-management bracket over the front of the line card faceplate.
b. Insert and tighten the captive screw at each end of the line card cable-management bracket to secure the bracket to the line card.
Step 3 Starting with the bottom port on the line card (see Figure 15a), connect each interface cable to the intended port.
Step 4 Carefully press the interface cable into the cable clip on the end of the cable standoff, as shown in Figure 15b. Avoid any kinks or sharp bends in the cable. (Excessive bending in an interface cable can degrade performance.)
Step 5 Proceeding upward, carefully press the interface cable into the cable-routing clips along the base of the line card cable-management bracket, as shown in Figure 15c.
Step 6 Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for all of the interface cables on the line card ports.
To remove the interface cables from a line card cable-management bracket and remove the cable-management bracket from a line card, perform the following steps:
Step 2 On the site log, note the current interface cable connections to the ports on each line card.
Step 3 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card (for cards with multiple ports), disconnect the cable from the line card port (See Figure 16a.)
Step 4 Proceeding upward, remove the interface cable from the cable clip on the end of the cable standoff (See Figure 16b.)
Step 5 Remove the interface cable from the cable-routing clips along the base of the line card cable-management bracket (See Figure 16c.)
Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for any other interface cables on the line card ports, then proceed to Step 6.
Step 6 Loosen the captive installation screw at each end of the line card cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.

After you have installed the line card and connected the interface cables, check the LEDs on the faceplate to verify that the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card is working properly. Each 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card provides the following types of LEDs for monitoring the operating status of the line card:
During a typical line card boot process, the following events occur:
To verify that the line card is working properly, perform the following operational checks:
The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card has seven LEDs (See Figure 17):

The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card has two, 4-digit alphanumeric LED displays at one end of the faceplate, near the ejector lever, that display messages telling you the state of the card. In general, the LEDs do not turn on until the GRP recognizes and powers up the card. It is normal for a message displayed as part of a sequence or process to appear too briefly to read.
As it boots, the line card displays a sequence of messages that is similar to that shown in Table 4.
| LED Display1 | Meaning | Source |
|---|---|---|

There are three LEDs next to each 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card port that signal the status of the port. Table 6 provides an explanation of the Active, Carrier, and Rx Pkt LEDs.
| LED State | Explanation | ||
| Active | Carrier | Rx Pkt | |
On | On | Off | Line card is up, but no packets received by line card. |
On | On | On | Line card is functioning normally and receiving packets. |
Off | On | Off | Line card is in wrap state. |
Off | Off | Flashing | Data is being transmitted or received. |
The status LEDs on the line card might not go on until you have configured the line card interfaces (or enabled them, if they were shut down). To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the configuration procedures for the line card see "Configuring Interfaces on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP Line Card" section."
The pass-through LED is located between the status LEDs and the alphanumeric LEDs. The pass-through LED indicates whether or not a fiber failure has occurred. Table 7 explains pass-through LED states.
| LED State | Explanation |
Orange | Packets are passing through transparently. |
Off | Line card is operating in normal mode. |
If the Active LED on a line card does not come on, verify the following conditions:
To verify that the line card is connected correctly, perform the following procedure:
Step 2 When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the Active LED on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card is on and remains on. If the LED stays on, proceed to Step 5. If the Active LED does not stay on, proceed to the next step.
Step 3 If the active LED on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card fails to go on, determine if the
board connector is fully seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws and firmly pivot the ejector levers toward each other until both are perpendicular to the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws.
After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the Active LED on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card should go on. If the Active LED goes on, proceed to Step 5. If the active LED does not go on, proceed to the next step.
Step 4 If the Active LED still fails to go on, remove the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card and try installing it in another available line card slot.
Step 5 Use the show interface command to verify the status of the interface. (If the interface is not configured, you must use the procedures in the section "Configuring Interfaces on the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP Line Card" section.")
If an error message displays on the console terminal, refer to the appropriate reference publication for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact a service representative for assistance.
For more information on troubleshooting and diagnostics, consult the Installation and Configuration Guide that came with your Cisco 12000 series router.
You can create a ring by connecting the fiber-optic cables to 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line cards that are installed in routers on your network. Follow these steps to create a four-node DPT ring:
Step 2 To add nodes to the ring, connect the cables observing the receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) cabling relationship, which means that an Rx port on one 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card must be connected to a Tx port on the next SRP line card. The labels under the fiber connectors identify side A, Tx and Rx, and side B, Tx and Rx. (See Figure 18).

Use Figure 19 and Table 8 to make the cable connections for a four-node ring.
Table 8 lists the cable connections for a 4-node ring.
| Cable Connections | |
|---|---|
| From Node / Connector | To Node / Connector |
Node 1 / Tx side B | Node 2 / Rx side A |
Node 2 / Tx side B | Node 3 / Rx side A |
Node 3 / Tx side B | Node 4 / Rx side A |
Node 4 / Tx side B | Node 1 / Rx side A |
Node 1 / Tx side A | Node 4 / Rx side B |
Node 4 / Tx side A | Node 3 / Rx side B |
Node 3 / Tx side A | Node 2 / Rx side B |
Node 2 / Tx side A | Node 1 / Rx side B |
This section explains how to configure the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card and contains the following procedures:
The command line interface (CLI) is provided to configure and display parameters for both the DPT and the SONET/SDH framer.
After you verify that the new 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card is installed correctly (the Active LED goes on), use the configure command to configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the interface IP address.
The following procedure is for creating a basic configuration---enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration commands, depending on the requirements of your system configuration. For descriptions of configuration commands and the configuration options available, refer to the appropriate software publications listed in the "Important Information" section.
A Cisco 12000 series router identifies an interface address by its line card slot number and port number, in the format slot/port. For example, the slot/port address of an interface on a
1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card installed in line card slot 1 is 1/0. Even though the card contains only one port, you must use the slot/port notation.
Before using the configure command, you must enter the privileged EXEC command mode by using the enable command. The system will prompt you for a password if one is set.
Table 9 shows the default configuration values of an enabled 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card. For more information, see "1OC-12/STM-4 SRP Line Card Configuration Examples" section."
| Parameter | Configuration Command | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) | [no] cdp enable | cdp enable |
Framing | srp framing {sdh | sonet} [a | b] | SONET OC-12c |
Bandwidth | [no] bandwidth kbps | 622000 kbps |
SONET overhead | srp flag {c2 | j0} value [a | b] | c2 set to 0x16; |
Clock source | srp clock-source {internal | line} [a | b] | srp clock-source internal |
Use the following procedures to configure the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card. Press the Return key after each configuration step, unless otherwise noted.
Router# show version Router#
For an example of output from the show version command, see "Using show Commands to Check System Status" section" later in this publication.
Step 2 Check the status of each port by entering the show interface command:
Router# show interface Router#
For an example of output from the show interface command, see "Using show Commands to Check System Status" section" later in this publication.
Step 3 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands:
Router# configure terminal Router#
Step 4 Enable IP routing by entering the ip routing command:
Router(config)# ip routing Router(config)#
Step 5 At the prompt, specify the new interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by the type (srp) and slot/port (line card slot number and port number). The example that follows is for a 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card in chassis slot 1:
Router(config)# interface srp 1/0 Router(config)#
Step 6 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ip address configuration command, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.3 255.0.0.0 Router(config-if)
Step 7 The MAC address is configured by default. However, you can overwrite the MAC burn-in address as follows:
Router(config-if)# mac 1000.0000.1111 Router(config-if)
Step 8 Verify that the default value for the clock source is correct. The default setting is clock source internal.
Router(config-if)# srp clock-source line a Router(config-if)
When two Cisco 12000 series routers are connected back-to-back, or are connected over dark fiber, where no external clocking is available, set the clock source on each device to internal. If a router is connected to a SONET/SDH ADM, set the clock-source on each device to line.
Step 9 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)
The no shutdown command passes an enable command to the 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card. It also causes the line card to configure itself automatically, based on the previous configuration commands sent.
![]() |
Note The 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card cable is connected to both a Cisco 12000 series device and another device---either a high-end router or switch. Step 10 to Step 12 apply to both the Cisco 12000 series device and the remote device. |
Step 10 Turn off the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP):
Router(config-if)# no cdp enable Router(config-if)
Cisco 12000 series routers do not require CDP.
Step 11 Add any other configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.
Step 12 When you have included all of the configuration commands to complete the configuration, enter ^Z (press the Control key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode.
Step 13 Write the new configuration to memory:
Router# copy running-config startup-config Router#
The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.
After you have completed your configuration, you can check it using show commands. For an explanation of show commands, see the section "Using show Commands to Check System Status" section.
This section explains how to use SRP IPS command options that will insert or override automatic or user-configured IPS modes:
![]() |
Note Before any physical manipulation to the line card, add a forced-switch to the side of the ring that is to be removed. |
For example, you can enter a forced-switch command to force data traffic to one side of the ring when a 1OC-12/STM-4 SRP line card is removed from a router slot, or in response to an event. Table 10 provides an explanation of the IPS requests in the order of priority, from highest to lowest.
| SRP IPS Request | Explanation |
|---|---|
Forced-Switch | Adds a high-priority protection switch wrap on each end of a specified span by entering the user-configured srp ips request forced-switch command. |
Manual-Switch | Adds a low-priority protection switch wrap on each end of a specified span by entering the user-configured srp-ips request manual-switch command. |
If an automatic or user-configured wrap is inserted on a span between the source node and destination node, the source node that receives the wrap issues a request to insert a wrap on the destination node. Spatial Reuse will use the short path over the failed span. If the failure is unidirectional, Spatial Reuse will use the long path around the ring.
As the protection requests travel around the ring, the protection hierarchy is applied. For example, if a high-priority signal fail (SF) request enters the ring, it overrides a pre-existing lower-priority signal degrade (SD) request. If an event or a user-configured command enters a low-priority request, it is not allowed if a high-priority request is present on the ring.
![]() |
Note An exception is that multiple Signal Fail and forced-switch requests can coexist on the SRP ring. |
All protection switches are performed bidirectionally and enter wraps at both ends of a span for transmit and receive directions, even if a failure is only unidirectional.
Router# configure terminal Router(config)#
Step 2 Enter the interface srp global configuration command. The prompt changes to interface configuration mode.
Router(config)# interface srp 1/0 Router(config-if)#
Step 3 Enter a user-configured manual-switch or forced-switch wrap.
Router(config-if)# srp ips request manual-switch a Router(config-if)#
![]() |
Note A manual-switch does not appear in the show running configuration command output. |
Router(config-if)# srp ips request forced-switch a Router(config-if)#
![]() |
Note A forced-switch will override a signal degrade. |
Step 4 To set a non-default value of the wait-to-restore timer, enter an srp ips wait-to-restore timer interface configuration command and the value in seconds.
Router(config-if)# srp ips wtr-timer 60 Router(config-if)#
![]() |
Note All nodes on the SRP ring should have the same wait-to-restore, topology timer, and IPS values. |
Step 5 To set a non-default value for the frequency of IPS messages to display, enter the srp ips timer interface configuration command and specify the value in seconds.
Router(config-if)# srp ips timer 90 Router(config-if)#
Step 6 Type end until you return to the privileged EXEC mode.
Router(config-if)# end Router#
Step 7 Use the show srp slot/port EXEC command to display the status of the srp ips requests.
Router# show srp 2/0 Router#
This section shows configuration examples and the resulting output. Examples may be longer depending on the network configuration.
The following is an example of configuration file commands for a Cisco 12000 series router (first router) with an SRP line card in slot 3/port 0 connected back-to-back with a Cisco 7500 series router (second router) with an SRP port adaptor in slot 3/port 0:
First Router:
Router# interface srp 3/0 ip address 10.1.2.3 255.0.0.0 no shutdown no cdp enable no ip mroute-cache
Second Router:
Router# interface srp 3/0 ip address 10.1.2.4 255.0.0.0 no shutdown no cdp enable Router#
Each line card for the Cisco 12000 series router maintains information about its configuration, traffic, errors, and so on. You access this information by using the show commands. Following are descriptions and examples of the show commands that display line card information and system status.
The following commands output information about the system interfaces: show interface srp slot/port, show srp, show diag, show version, show protocols, show running-config and show controller srp.
