  • Smart SFP transceivers to transport TDM line traffic (ACX7348)— We support the following smart SFP transceivers on the ACX7348 routers:

    • DS3 smartSFP (SFP-GE-TDM-DS3)

    • E1 smartSFP (SFP-GE-TDM-E1)

    • T1 smartSFP (SFP-GE-TDM-T1)

    • STM1 smart SFP (SFP-GE-TDM-STM1)

    • STM4 smart SFP (SFP-GE-TDM-STM4)

    • STM16 smart SFP+ (SFP-XGE-TDM-STM16)

    Every pair of Smart transceivers implements a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Circuit Emulation Service where TDM lines are transported transparently across a packet-switched network (PSN).

    You can use these transceivers to transport TDM lines traffic such as E1 or T1 or DS3 or STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12, or STM-16/OC-64 encapsulated into data packets across PSNs such as Ethernet, VLAN-based, or MPLS networks. At the receiver end, another Smart transceiver, paired with the first one and appropriately configured, re-assembles the packets into the original bit stream and delivers it on its TDM line interface.

  • Chromatic dispersion configuration support with media-id mapping (ACX7024)—You can configure and monitor chromatic dispersion settings using CLI commands for enhanced optical management. Specify cd-val and media-id through the set interfaces et-<> optics-options command. View mapped CD range details using show interface diagnostic optics chromatic-dispersion et-<>. The system retains previous CD values if incorrect configurations are provided, ensuring network stability. This feature optimizes performance for 100G-ZR SFPs and is adaptable for future high-speed variants.

  • Chromatic Dispersion Compensation (ACX7024)— This feature supports 100G-ZR SFPs. A new CLI set interfaces et-<> optics-options cd cd-val <> media-id is introduces to support configuration of cd-range mapped with media-id.

  • Support for resilient hashing and consistent hashing (ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7332, ACX7348, ACX7509, ACX7024, and ACX7024X)—

    Configure resilient hashing on ACX routers to minimize flow remapping across link aggregation on groups (LAGs) or equal cost paths. Resilient hashing works with the default static hashing algorithm. When you configure resilient hashing on LAGs, the configuration is applicable to a specific aggregated Ethernet interface (aex).

    [See Resilient Hashing on LAGs and ECMP groups.]

  • Channelized Smart SFP (ACX7024)— You can transport and aggregate legacy T1/E1 services over Ethernet by provisioning channelized Smart SFPs as STM1 (63 E1) or OC3 (84 DS1). These TDM channels will be transported over the ethernet network.

    The transport network could be one of the below and can be transported over any user Ethernet network provisioned.

    • Ethernet network with destination MAC address programmed on the smart SFPs

    • VLAN tagging network

    • VLAN tagging with destination MAC set

    • MPLS tagging mode
