CE-100T-8 Ethernet Operation
This chapter describes the operation of the CE-100T-8 (Carrier Ethernet) card supported on the
ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 SDH. A CE-100T-8 card installed in an ONS 15454 SONET is restricted to
SONET operation, and a CE-100T-8 card installed in an ONS 15454 SDH is restricted to SDH operation.
Another version of the CE-100T-8 card is supported on the ONS 15310-CL.
Provisioning is done through Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or Transaction Language One (TL1).
Cisco IOS is not supported on the CE-100T-8 card.
For Ethernet card specifications, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual or the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual. For step-by-step Ethernet card circuit configuration
procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Procedure Guide. Refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide or the Cisco ONS SDH Command
Guide for TL1 provisioning commands.

CE-100T-8 Overview
The CE-100T-8 is a Layer 1 mapper card with eight 10/100 Ethernet ports. It maps each port to a unique
SONET/SDH circuit in a point-to-point configuration.
Figure 24-1 illustrates a sample CE-100T-8
application. In this example, data traffic from the Fast Ethernet port of a switch travels across the
point-to-point circuit to the Fast Ethernet port of another switch.

The CE-100T-8 cards allow you to provision and manage an Ethernet private line service like a
traditional SONET/SDH line. CE-100T-8 card applications include providing carrier-grade Ethernet
private line services and high-availability transport.
