Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco ASR 9000 Adapter SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02?
The Cisco ASR 9000 Adapter SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02 is a high-density channelized shared port adapter for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers, offering two OC12c ports with DS0 timeslot slicing for up to 2016 DS0 channels.
Which Cisco ASR 9000 Series platforms support the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02?
The SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02 is compatible with ASR 9000 Series chassis (ASR 9001, 9004, 9006, 9010, 9922) running Cisco IOS XR and featuring available SPA slots.
What are the key features of the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02?
Key features include two channelized OC12c ports, support for up to 2016 DS0 timeslots, hot-swappable shared port adapter design, integrated OTN FEC, and advanced lifecycle management.
How do I install the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02 in my ASR 9000 router?
Power down the router, insert the adapter into an available SPA slot, secure it, connect OC12 optical cables, power up the router, and verify installation with ‘show controllers’ commands.
How do I configure channelized OC12/DS0 ports on this adapter?
In Cisco IOS XR, enter the controller interface, assign DS0 timeslots with the ‘channel-group’ command, map logical interfaces, then commit the configuration to activate the channels.
What data rates and protocols are supported by the adapter?
It supports OC12c at 622.08 Mbps with DS0 channels at 64 Kbps each, compliant with ITU-T G.707/ANSI T1.105, and offers ATM, POS, Ethernet PHY and traditional TDM services.
How many DS0 channels can I provision on the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02?
You can provision up to 2016 DS0 channels (2 OC12c ports × 12 DS3 × 28 DS1 × 2 DS0 subchannels per DS1) for scalable TDM connectivity.
What is the shared port adapter architecture in the ASR 9000?
Shared port adapters consolidate multiple ports under a common packet processor, reducing hardware overhead, enabling hot-swap upgrades, and streamlining service provisioning across ports.
What cabling and optical transceivers are required for the OC12 ports?
Use Cisco SFP-OC12/STM4 transceivers with single-mode fiber (SMF) and LC connectors, meeting ITU-T G.957 distance and attenuation specifications.
Which network topologies are ideal for using this adapter?
Ideal topologies include ring, mesh, and point-to-point architectures in metro aggregation, enterprise WAN, and service-provider edge scenarios for high-density TDM and packet convergence.
How can I monitor performance and utilization on the adapter?
Use Cisco IOS XR ‘show controllers’ and ‘show interfaces’ commands, along with SNMP MIBs (CISCO-SPA-MIB), to track port errors, DS0 utilization, optical power levels, and traffic statistics.
What are the environmental and power requirements?
The adapter operates at 0 °C to 45 °C, 5–85% non-condensing humidity, draws up to 30 W, requires 20–72 V DC, and complies with NEBS Level 3 and ETSI standards.
Which protocols and services does the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02 support?
It supports HDLC, PPP, X.25, Frame Relay, ATM, SONET/SDH, POS, Ethernet PHY and legacy TDM voice services over DS0 channels.
Are any software licenses or feature keys required?
No additional SPA-specific license is needed beyond the Cisco IOS XR routed feature license; certain value-added services may require technology package activation.
What are common troubleshooting steps for this adapter?
Verify slot registration with ‘show platform’, check controller logs, confirm optical transceiver status, validate timeslot assignments, and upgrade IOS XR to the latest recommended release.
Where can I purchase the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS02 or find spare parts?
Purchase through Cisco authorized resellers, the Cisco online store, or certified partners; spare parts and renewals are available via Cisco’s Service Locator portal.
