Limitations and Restrictions

OC-3 IM Limitations

•

The

configure replace

command is not supported on the OC-3 IMs.

•

The optical interface module is designed for OC-3 and OC-12 traffic, but OC-12 functionality is not
currently supported.

•

MPLS-TP is not supported over POS interfaces.

•

Multicast is not supported on POS, MLPPP and OC-12 interfaces.

•

MPLS is supported only on PoS and MLPPP interfaces; MPLS on T1/E1 links is not supported.

•

IP-FRR and BFD-triggered FRR are not supported on MPLS over POS links.

•

Fragmentation is not supported with Multicast traffic on PoS interfaces.

•

QoS is not supported with Multicast traffic on PoS interfaces.

•

QoS is supported on POS interfaces on optical interface module.

•

Three-level QoS policies are not supported on OC-3/OC-12 serial, MLPPP, and PoS interfaces. You
can only apply QoS policies on two levels on these interfaces.

Pseudowire/AToM Limitation

•

The Cisco ASR 903 Router supports ATM over MPLS N-to-one cell mode for a single ATM Virtual
Channel Connections (VCCs) or Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) to a pseudowire, but does not
support mapping to multiple VCCs or PVCs.

•

The Cisco ASR 903 Router does not support ATM over MPLS one-to-one cell mode.

•

The Cisco ASR 903 Router supports pseudowire ping using the CW method; pseudowire ping using
the TTL method is not supported.

•

The Cisco ASR 903 Router supports a maximum of 2000 pseudowires in any combination.

The following pseudowire (PW) features are supported over MPLS-TP connections:

•

ATM over MPLS PWs

•

ATM attachment circuits

•

AAL5 Encapsulation

•

ATM VC Class Support

•

Cell Relay including VC mode, VP mode, and Packed Cell Relay

•

CESoPSN

•

L2VPN pseudowire redundancy

•

Multi-segment PWs

•

PW OAM/Status TLV Support

•

PW Redundancy

•

SAToP

The following pseudowire (PW) features are not supported over MPLS-TP connections:

•
