Configuring VCoP Smart SFP

The Virtual Container over Packet (VCoP) smart small form-factor pluggable (SFP) forwards the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
(PDH)/SONET signal transparently across the packet network. VCoP smart SFP is a special type of transceiver which encapsulates
SONET frames on STS-1, STS-3C or STS-12C, and T3 frames on STS-1 channels into a single circuit emulating pseudowire and
transports it to a single destination over Packet Switched Network (PSN).
The VCoP smart SFP feature is supported only on Cisco NCS 4201 and Cisco NCS 4202 Series.
Note
With effect from Cisco IOS XE 16.5.1S Release, VCoP smart SFP supports T3 mode.

Features of VCoP Smart SFP

VCoP smart SFP provides support for the following features:
• Supports configuration on Gigabit Ethernet(GE) and TenGigabit Ethernet(10GE) ports of the chassis.
• OC-3 or OC-12 mode supports 15 km Duplex over GE and 10GE.
• T3 mode supports 450ft over GE and 10GE.
• VCoP smart SFP on OCn mode supports 1310nm laser optics and is multi source agreement (MSA) compliant.
• Supports SONET CEP (IETF RFC 4842).
• For peer end, supports use of any SFP or interface module that supports CEP protocol.
• Supports pseudowire configuration.
• Supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR).
If after configuring a VCoP smart SFP, you remove and reinsert the VCoP smart SFP,
Note
the configuration persists. But, if you insert a non-VCoP SFP, the configuration is
removed.
• Supports packetization, de-packetization, and clock recovery.
• Supports Explicit Pointer Adjustment Relay (EPAR).
• Supports alarms and performance monitoring.
• Supports loopback and BERT.
• Supports the following jitter buffer values:
◦ OC-3 - 8ms
◦ OC-12 - 4ms
◦ T3 - 8ms
