8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Cards
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports a line card specifically for FC (Fibre Channel)
and GE (Gigabit Ethernet) traffic. The 8-port Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet
aggregation card accepts up to eight SFP (small form-factor pluggable) optics for
client traffic. Each SFP optic supports either FC or GE, 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. 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 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.
Note The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card also supports FICON trafficc at 1 Gbps.
