New and Changed Information
This table summarizes the new and changed information for Release 11.12, and tells you where the features are documented.

Feature |
Description |
Where Documented |
|---|---|---|
|
Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) SUDI 2099 Certificates for WSE, MR-MXP, and 400G XP Cards |
This enhancement allows you to extend the usage of WSE, MR-MXP and 400G-XP-LC cards with encryption functionality beyond year 2029. This extended validity helps to avoid encryption and card upgrade failures. |

|
MCH Custom Alien Wavelength and MEDIA CHANNEL OCH NC circuit management through CTC |
The feature allows you to create an MCH custom alien wavelength and the associated MEDIA CHANNEL OCH NC circuit specifying the following parameters through CTC:
This functionality enables you to create a medial channel of any spectrum size, for example, signal width of 34.20 GHz, modulation GB of 1.71 GHz, and filtering GB of 4.92 GHz. |

Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) |
In Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) topology, the channel SMR (CH SMR) card of NCS 2000 node aggregates channels from transponders, say NCS 1004. If there is more than one channel SMR card, they are connected by the 1*6 AD-CFS passive module. The aggregated channels from this passive module are transmitted to the fan-out module that covers signals from other geographical locations and SMR card. The channels are then transmitted to the SLTE SMR card that faces the submarine system. |

|
400G-XP-LC Enhancements |
The OPM_PEER_ODU2 and OPM_PEER_ODU2e slice modes are available on Slice 2 when the 400G-XP-LC card is configured in the MXP mode for any trunk configuration. These slice modes support interoperability with a peer 10x10G-LC card. The peer 10x10G-LC card can only be installed in an even slot of the Cisco NCS 2006 or Cisco NCS 2015 chassis. The payloads supported on the 10x10G-LC card are OTU2, OTU2e, OC192/STM64, and 10GE. |

LOGO Expert Mode |
When the Expert mode is configured for an optical side, spectral parameters such as Linear XT avg, Linear XT Stdev, Non-linear XT avg and Non-linear XT Stdev are used by the control plane for optical validation. These parameter values are obtained from the XML file. These spectral values must not be modified, unless instructed by the Cisco TAC representative. |

OTNXC encryption |
The OTNXC operating mode on the 400G-XP-LC card supports encryption. |

|
Third party certificates for encryption |
The 400G-XP-LC card supports the generation of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and the installation of Locally Significant Certificates (LSCs) that can be used to authenticate the peer card connection. Third party certificates also referred to as Locally Significant Certificates (LSCs) are certificates that are signed by a Certification Authority (CA) other than Cisco Certificate Authority. LSCs allow customers to have their own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide better security, to have control of their own CA, and to define policies, restrictions, and usages on the generated certificates. |

|
ANS APC Skipping |
The upgraded NE update XML file imported on the CTC for the respective node will import the new ANS parameters and settings for the new degree or modules. The existing ANS parameters or module settings are not affected. This prevents unintended changes to the APC corrections to the existing degree and its associations. |

|
OTDR Support for TNCS-2O Cards |
A TNCS-2O card has an optical module that provides Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) measurement, ORL measurement, and standard Optical Service Channel (OSC) capability on two ports. These capabilities are available for upto four ports for each shelf; one shelf can have two TNCS-2O cards. |

|
Regenerator Constraints Support |
For using a regenerator, the optical path needs to be validated. If the optical validation fails, then, the regenerator cannot be used, and the circuit creation fails. If validation is not supported, pre-validated paths are calculated offline and provided as a constraint to the control plane, while setting up the main and restored paths. |
