Solution Overview
Cisco's TDM-to-IP solution is comprised of two sister platforms: the ASR-900 and NCS-4200. In this lab you will use the ASR-903 and NCS-4206 models, which are virtually identical in both form-factor and functionality. Both platforms support a wide assortment of IP- and TDM-based interfaces through an assortment of linecards. This lab consists of an IP routed network assembled using TenGigEthernet Interfaces and TDM services being provided with “3G” linecards, which support a variety of DS1, DS3 and OCx interface speeds.
Goals & Objectives
The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the user with the Cisco TDM-to-IP solution built on the ASR-900 and NCS-4200 platforms.
The lab steps include:
- Explore the chassis configuration on both the ASR-903 and NCS-4206 routers.
- Explore the routing configuration in order to understand how the IP network works.
- Configure the TDM services, including T1 & T3 controller interfaces, circuit emulators and MPLS layer-2 pseudowires.
- Validate end-to-end TDM-to-IP functionality using Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT).
