nV Optical Satellite allows the DWDM transponder to be managed by which method?

Question

Options

• AIOS-XR command line of the connected router
• BCisco Transport Controller
• Cvirtual transponder
• DnLight Control Plane

• A
  94% (17)
• B
  6% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Cisco's nV (Network Virtualization) Optical Satellite architecture is specifically designed to integrate the DWDM transponder directly into the router's management domain, allowing it to be configured and monitored entirely through the IOS-XR CLI of the connected router - eliminating the need for a separate optical management system.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Cisco Transport Controller): CTC is used to manage standalone Cisco ONS/NCS optical shelf platforms; it is not the management interface for nV Optical Satellite transponders.
• C (Virtual transponder): This describes a functional abstraction in optical networking, not a management method - it's a feature concept, not an interface.
• D (nLight Control Plane): nLight is a Cisco optical control plane technology but is not the mechanism by which the DWDM transponder is managed in the nV Optical Satellite context.

Memory tip: Think of "nV" as "No Vendor separation" - the whole value proposition of nV Optical Satellite is collapsing optical management into the router, so naturally you use the router's own CLI (IOS-XR) to manage it, just like any other line card.
