Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 7.6.x
Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The 400G Digital Coherent QSFP-DD optical modules enable wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) functionality in the router.
These optical modules are DWDM C-band (196.1 THz to 191.3 THz) tunable optical modules. They can be used in both transponder
and muxponder modes.
Cisco IOS XR software creates optics and coherent DSP controllers to configure and monitor the performance of the 400G Digital
Coherent QSFP-DD optical modules. Optics controllers are used to configure and monitor optical parameters, such as frequency,
chromatic dispersion, transmitted output power, and so on. Coherent DSP controllers are used to monitor network performance
parameters like pre- and post-forward error correction (FEC) bit-error rate (pre-FEC BER, post-FEC BER), error corrected bits
(EC-BITS), and so on. Forward error correction (FEC) is configured using optical controllers and monitored using coherent
DSP controllers.
The 400G Digital Coherent QSFP-DD optical modules support traffic1 configuration and firmware download. The Cisco IOS XR software
collects performance monitoring data and alarms.
Due to more power consumption by the 400G Digital Coherent QSFP-DD optical modules, the Cisco IOS XR software operates the
fans at an higher speed to cool these optical modules.
Configuring frequency, chromatic dispersion, optical transmit power, digital to analog conversion (DAC) sampling rate, and
FEC parameters impacts traffic. Also, configuring modulation is not supported. Modulation is dependent on the mode of operation. See Table 3 and #Cisco_Concept.dita_59215d6f-1614-4633-a137-161ebe794673__table_u5x_f13_ppb.
The 400G Digital Coherent QSFP-DD optical module configuration is divided into the following categories:
Traffic configuration – Comprises configuring DAC rate, breakout, and FEC parameters. Applicable for optics controllers:
Performance monitoring (PM) – Enables or disables performance monitoring in optical modules. You can also configure PM parameters
that comprise signal power, chromatic dispersion, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and differential group delay (DGD).
Applicable for optics controllers and coherent DSP controllers:
Alarms threshold configuration – Configures thresholds for monitoring alarms that include optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR),
differential group delay (DGD), chromatic dispersion (cd high and low), and so on. Applicable for optics controllers:
The following table contains the possible traffic configuration values for the 400G Digital Coherent QSFP-DD optical modules,
in the transponder and muxponder mode:
This feature allows you to perform Field Programmable Device (FPD) upgrades on the QDD-400G-ZR-S and QDD-400G-ZRP-S optical
modules to ensure they have the latest fixes and features. For more information about the optic module portfolio, see the
Cisco 400G Digital Coherent Optics QSFP-DD Optical Modules Data Sheet.
Although an FPD upgrade is not mandatory in this release, we recommend upgrading the FPD to the latest version in the subsequent
releases to ensure that all the latest fixes and features are enabled on the optical modules. Auto and parallel FPD upgrades
are not supported. Only a manual FPD upgrade (one optical module at a time) using the upgrade hw-module locationnode-idfpdfpd-name command is supported.
The fpd-name can be obtained from the FPD description column of the show fpd package or the show hw-module fpd command. The fpd-name in the FPD description column displays QDD_instance_port-number. For example, depending on the instance and the port number, the FPD names for the QDD-400G-ZR-S and QDD-400G-ZRP-S modules
will be QDD_0_3, QDD_0_0, and so on.
Note
Only in case of Cisco ASR 9903 routers, the fpd-name in the FPD description column displays QDD_bay_port-number. The bay value for Cisco 9903 routers is always 1. Therefore, depending on the port number, the FPD names for the QDD-400G-ZR-S and
QDD-400G-ZRP-S modules will be QDD_1_3, QDD_1_4, and so on.
See the “Upgrading Field-Programmable Devices” chapter in the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers for details on the procedure to upgrade the FPD.

Configuring DAC Rate
You can set the DAC (digital to analog conversion) sampling rate on optics controllers. You can modify the DAC sampling rate
only on the QDD-400G-ZRP-S optical module.
Note
QDD-400G-ZR-S supports 1x1 dac-rate in cFEC mode. QDD-400G-ZRP-S supports 1x1 dac-rate in cFEC mode and 1x1.25 dac-rate in
oFEC mode.
DAC Rate Configuration Example
The following example shows how to set the DAC rate on the optics controller:
For the supported line cards, ports, and modes, see Table 1.
Configuring Breakout on the Line card with Default 100G Port Speed
The ports with default 100G speed can be configured to operate at 400G port speed using the following command:
This example shows how to configure 1x400G transponder mode on a port with default 100G port speed:
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 1xFourHundredGigE
To remove the breakout configuration and revert to the default 100G port speed, use the no form of the command.
For example:
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 1xFourHundredGigE
Note
In the A9903-20HG-PEC card, to configure 1x400G transponder mode, use the hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 bay 1 port 0 breakout 1xFourHundredGigE command. To remove the breakout configuration and revert to the default 100G port speed, use the no for the command - no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 bay 1 port 0 breakout 1xFourHundredGigE.
To configure 4x100G or 2x100G muxponder mode, use the 4x100G or 2x100G breakout on the supported port(s).
For example:
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 4xHundredGigE
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 7 breakout 2xHundredGigE
To remove the breakout configuration and revert to the default 100G port speed, use the no form of the command.
For example:
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 4xHundredGigE
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 7 breakout 2xHundredGigE
Configuring Breakout on the Line card with Default 400G Port Speed
The ports with default 400G speed can be configured to operate at 100G port speed using the following command:
This example shows how to configure 1x100G transponder mode on a port with default 400G port speed:
For example:
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 1xHundredGigE
To remove the breakout configuration and revert to the default 400G port speed, use the no form of the command.
For example:
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 1xHundredGigE
To configure 4x100G or 2x100G muxponder mode, use the 4x100G or 2x100G breakout on the supported port(s).
For example:
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 4xHundredGigE
hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 7 breakout 2xHundredGigE
To remove the breakout configuration and revert to the default 400G port speed, use the no form of the command.
For example:
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 0 breakout 4xHundredGigE
no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 port 7 breakout 2xHundredGigE
Muxponder Mode Configuration Example
The following example shows how to configure muxponder mode on the optics controller:
In the above example, the Cisco IOS XR software creates four Ethernet clients with 100GE speed, which can be verified using
the show ipv4 interface brief location | include R/S/I/P command.

HundredGigE0/1/0/3/1 unassigned Shutdown Down default
HundredGigE0/1/0/3/2 unassigned Shutdown Down default
HundredGigE0/1/0/3/3 unassigned Shutdown Down default
Configuring FEC
You can configure forward error correction (FEC) only on optics controllers. You can modify FEC only on the QDD-400G-ZRP-S
optical module. FEC is a feature that is used for controlling errors during data transmission. This feature works by adding
data redundancy to the transmitted message using an algorithm. This redundancy allows the receiver to detect and correct a
limited number of errors occurring anywhere in the message, instead of having to ask the transmitter to resend the message.
Note
QDD-400G-ZR-S supports cFEC (concatenated forward error correction) and QDD-400G-ZRP-S supports cFEC and oFEC (open forward
error correction).

Configuring Frequency
You can configure frequency on optics controllers. You can select any C band frequency between the range 196.1 to 191.3 THz,
in both ITU and NON-ITU channels.
Note
The 100MHz-grid keyword accepts only frequency values as user input. The 50GHz-grid keyword accepts frequency, ITU-channel,
or wavelength values as user input. The Cisco IOS XR software then caculates the frequency for a given wavelength or ITU-channel.

Configuring Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance
data for early detection of problems. The user can retrieve both current and historical PM counters for the various controllers
in 30-second, 15-minute, and 24-hour intervals.
Performance monitoring can be configured on optics controllers and coherent DSP controllers.
To stop performance monitoring on optics or coherent DSP controllers, use the perf-mon disable keyword.
Configuring PM Parameters
The performance monitorning (PM) threshold and the threshold crossing alert (TCA) reporting status can be configured for optics
controllers and coherent DSP controllers:
