On the 6500 you can only do POS so if they want something else it isn't going to work. If you are using the POS interface as an xconnect end-point it should do what you want. TDM does not work over most MPLS without significant buffering in any case.

Assuming they're doing TDM or something besides PoS over it, it won't look the same at all.. The PoS interfaces are STS-48c only.. Maybe if they're doing just PoS it might work, but who uses PoS on OC-48 anymore? Cheaper to do 10G... -- Tim On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 11:38 AM, FF <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks for responding. I'm looking at something like this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps2831/ps4370/product_data_sheet09186a0080092241.html Will someone connecting to this for OC-48 transport between two locations with MPLS encapsulation (xconnect) notice anything different via a normal mux port? I think what you're saying is, "no". :) On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 11:59 AM, Mack McBride <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > The POS looks like a standard 6500 layer 3 port with of course the added POS > commands. > This means standard MPLS commands should work. > The older POS cards lack some of the functionality of the newer cards. > Someone may have more information if you provide the exact line card. > > Mack McBride > Network Architect > > -----Original Message----- > From: > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] > On Behalf Of FF > Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 9:25 PM > To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [c-nsp] OC-48 transport over Cisco 6500 > > If I'm trying to transport OC-48 between two customer locations via > MPLS on a Cisco 6500... > > Would simple MPLS/xconnect work using the appropriate OC-48-OSM on > each side?
