Implementing IPoDWDM interfaces on Cisco CRS routers eliminates the need for which network
component?
A.
ROADM
B.
external transponders
C.
electrical-optical-electrical converters
D.
electrical cross-connect
Explanation:
IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) is a technology used in telecommunications networks to integrate IP
Routers andSwitches in the OTN (Optical Transport Network).

With the convergence of IP intelligence and DWDM transport technology in Cisco ® IPoDWDM solutions, service providers around the globe are realizing:
• Significant capital savings by eliminating layers of transponders between IP and optical network layers

The Cisco IPoDWDM solution offers the following key features:
– Flexible and fully reconfigurable DWDM network with zero-touch Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP omnidirectional and colorless ROADM
– Proactive protection on Cisco CRS-1 and ONS 15454 MSTP
– Common management interfaces
– Router IPoDWDM interfaces that eliminate the need for optical transponder equipment (see Figure 3):
– Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System: 1x 40-Gbps and 4x 10-Gbps IPoDWDM interfaces
– Cisco 7600 Series Routers: 2x 10-Gbps and 4x 10G IPoDWDM interfaces
– Cisco 12000 Series Routers: 1x 10-Gbps IPoDWDM interface
– Cisco ASR-9000 Series Routers: 8x 10-Gbps and 2x 10-Gbps IPoDWDM interfaces
