Cabling a Multi-Chassis Configuration

This appendix provides an overview of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system and describes how to physically cable the fabric planes between each LCC and FCC in the system.

The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system currently supports these multi-chassis configurations:

  • 2+1—Two LCCs + one FCC (with six or twelve FCs)

  • 2+2—Two LCCs + two FCC (with six or twelve FCs in each FCC)

  • 4+2—Four LCCs + two FCCs (with six or twelve FCs in each FCC)

  • 8+2—Eight LCCs + two FCCs (with twelve FCs in each FCC)

The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system with ECP currently supports these multi-chassis configurations:

  • 2+1—Two LCCs + one FCC (with six or twelve FCs)

  • 4+1—Four LCCs + one FCC (with six or twelve FCs)

The control plane cabling connections with ECP for the above mentioned configurations are explained in the sections "Cabling the Control Plane for a 2+1 Multi-Chassis System with ECP" and "Cabling the Control Plane for a 4+1 Multi-Chassis System with ECP". Cabling the fabric and other software configurations remain the same as the basic multi-chassis setup.

About the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis System

This section provides an overview of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system and describes what is required to interconnect the system components. The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system is also referred to as the “multi-chassis system” throughout this chapter.

The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system is a highly scalable routing platform designed for service providers to build next generation multi-service networks that provide video, data and voice services. The multi-chassis system consists of two major components: The line card chassis (LCC) and fabric card chassis (FCC). The LCC has 16 slots: eight line card (LC) slots, six fabric card slots, and two RP slots. The FCC has 14 slots: 12 fabric card slots and two slots for the SC or SC-SW shelf controller cards.

The interconnectivity of FCCs and the LCCs allows the system capacity of the NCS 6000 to scale from 8 Tbps to 128 Tbps of data.

Multi-Chassis System with ECP

The 2+1 Cisco NCS 6000 multi-chassis system with ECP consists of two line card chassis (LCC) and one fabric card chassis (FCC), interconnected with ECP. This multi-chassis configuration provides an aggregate bandwidth of 16 Tbps (with first generation line cards) and 32 Tbps (with 2T line cards). When the 2+1 Cisco NCS 6000 multi-chassis system is used with the ECP (External Control Plane), users can create up to 8 SDRs (secure domain routers).

The 4+1 Cisco NCS 6000 multi-chassis system with ECP consists of four line card chassis (LCC) and one fabric card chassis (FCC), interconnected with ECP. This multi-chassis configuration provides an aggregate bandwidth of 32 Tbps (with first generation line cards) and 64 Tbps (with 2T line cards). When the 4+1 Cisco NCS 6000 multi-chassis system is used with the ECP (External Control Plane), users can create up to 8 SDRs (secure domain routers).

Muti-Chassis System Hardware Requirements

The multi-chassis (MC) system is described as 1T or 2T, depending on the installed fabric cards and line cards. In a 1T system, each line card delivers up to 1 Tbps throughput. In a 2T system, each line card delivers up to 2 Tbps throughput. The following table lists the 1T and 2T multi-chassis hardware requirements.

Cabling Overview

Cable Routing Considerations

Cabling Routing

Whether the cables will be run overhead or under the floor, consider the airflow and cable characteristics of the combined cable sets to ensure that your cable management structures support the total capacity of cables for the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system installation.

Raised Floor Installations

To plan cable routing in an installation with a raised floor, consider all the characteristics of each cable required for the installation. Allow slack for cabling so that cables can be pooled under the floor for future expansion without exceeding bend radius or cable length limitations. Riser cables are not rated for installation in air plenum passages, nor are they designed for use in LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) applications.

Cable Characteristics

Plan your cable runs, consider the characteristics of each cable, such as the cable length limitations, combined diameter of bundled cables (such as power cables), weight of the cable groups, and bend radius of the cable or cables. Couple these considerations with the cable infrastructure available (or needed) at your facility. The infrastructure could include structures like the overhead cabling monorail or J-hook system, sleeve and riser diameters, and distances between floors or elements of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system.

Analyze the cabling infrastructures, risers, and racking available in your facility to determine if the capacity of the cabling management systems at your facility will accommodate the required capacities of the multi-chassis system cabling.

Cable Length

The limit of the cables is 100 meters (328 feet). Consider this distance when planning the physical locations of the LCCs and FCCs. For more information on the range of lengths available for the OM4 fabric cables, contact a Cisco approved vendor such as Tyco Electronics or Molex.

Cable Bend Radius

Exceeding the bend radius allowed for a cable can break the glass in the cable or cause attenuation or loss of signal. Do not bend a cable more than the allowable bend radius.

See the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide for information on planning component locations and cable runs.

General Cabling Procedures

Observe these procedures as you attach every cable:

  • Strap the bundles to the horizontal cable management brackets on the chassis.

    Four horizontal cable management brackets are preinstalled on both the LCC and FCC (two on the front side and two on the rear side of each chassis).

  • Handle all fiber-optic cables carefully.

    • Do not allow a fiber-optic cable to bend in a radius smaller than the allowable bend radius specified for that cable type.

    • Fiber-optic cables are glass. Do not step on fiber-optic cables or handle them roughly. Do not twist or stretch the cables.

    • To keep optical connections clean, do not remove the cable dust cover until immediately before you install the cable.

    • After you install a cable, immediately reserve each dust cover for storage by office personnel in a dust-free storage area. After all of the cables have been installed ensure that all the reserved dust covers are stored by office personnel in a dust free area for future use.

    • Install clean dust covers on every unused connection.

    • Consider labeling the chassis interconnection cables or creating a diagram of the cabling to ensure that the cables are connected correctly during system installation.

    • Consider labeling the chassis. Consider whether each chassis need to be physically positioned in sequence. Label each cable with the location of each termination as you install each cable

Safety Guidelines

Before you perform any procedures, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment. The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert.

  • Review the safety warnings listed in the Regulatory and Compliance Guide for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed card.

  • Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.

  • Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to enter into any laser-based components.

  • Keep tools and router components away from walk areas.

  • Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router while working with cards, modules, and their associated components.

  • Cisco equipment operates safely when used in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.

  • Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

  • The installation must follow national and local electrical codes: in the United States, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code; in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60364, part 1 through part 7.

Cabling the Ethernet Control Plane Network

This section describes how to cable the control plane network for the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system. These connections control the network connectivity for the multi-chassis system. The following cabling configurations are described:

The control plane network carries all the signaling, routing updates, system configuration and management packets for the NCS 6000. The control network must be cabled before the NCS 6000 system can become fully operational.

The control plane of the multi-chassis system is connected between the LCC and FCC with four paths per LCC (two per RP). The ports between the LCC and FCC are connected with SFP+ modules. Each RP on the LCC has 10GE connections that connect to each of the two SC-SW cards in the FCCs. The SC-SW cards provide the control plane network between all chassis.

Each SC-SW card has 56 10GE connections and two 40GE connections. Two SC-SW cards are used for redundancy purposes. These cards interconnect to each other through their 40GE QSFP optical ports. Each RP and each SC in a multi-chassis system connects to both switches. Note that an SC must be externally connected to both SC-SW switch cards though a 10GE port even if the SC and SC-SW cards are installed in the same FCC.

Cabling the Control Plane for a 2+1 Multi-Chassis system

The following figure shows the control plane cabling for a 2+1 multi-chassis system.


Note
The RPs can be attached to any port on the SC-SW card.

Cabling the Control Plane for a 2+2 Multi-Chassis System

The following figure shows the control plane cabling for a 2+2 multi-chassis system.


Note
The cabling may differ depending on the type of SFP modules that you use. For SFP-10G-SR (short-reach) transceiver modules, use 65/125 or 50/125 multi-mode cables. For SFP-10G-LR (long-reach) transceiver modules, use 9/125 single-mode cables. To connect the QSFP 40GE optical modules between the SC-SW cards, we recommend that you use QSFP supported cables.

Note

Cabling the control plane for an x+2 (that is, 4+2 or 8+2), multi-chassis system is similar to that of a 2+2 multi-chassis system.

Cabling the Fabric

This section describes how to configure the fabric cabling between the LCCs and the fabric components in the FCCs. The fabric provides the data connection for router traffic between all the CXP optical ports in the LCCs. The fabric cabling must be completed to enable data communications through the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system.

Multi-Chassis 2+1 Configuration

This section describes how to configure a multi-chassis 2+1 configuration. In this configuration, two LCCs (LCC0 and LCC1) connect to one FCC. The configuration differs depending on the number of S2 FCs that are installed in the FCC. The configurations described here include:


Note
At the LCC end of a fabric cable, the plane number is determined by the slot to which the cable is connected. The other end of each fabric cable must connect to the S2 fabric card designated for the same plane number.

Prerequisites

For connecting the fabric, you need the following:

  • 192 MPO-24 fiber cables (96 per LCC)

  • Optical module sets:

    • In 1T multi-chassis 2+1 mode: Four CXP optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 CXP-100G-SR12 modules for a total of 384 modules.

    • In 2T multi-chassis 2+1 mode: Four CXP2 optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT2). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 ONS-CXP2-SR25 modules for a total of 384 modules.

Configuring a 2+1 Configuration with Six S2 FCs

The following figure shows two line card chassis (LCC0 and LCC1) connected to one fabric card chassis (FCC0) that has six S2 FCs installed. The figure shows the 2+1 connections for one fabric plane. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining five fabric planes until all six S2 cards are connected.

Configuring a 2+1 Configuration with 12 S2 FCs

The following figure shows two line card chassis (LCC0 and LCC1) connected to one fabric card chassis (FCC0) that has 12 S2 FCs installed. The advantage of installing 12 S2 FCs cards instead of 6 S2 FCs cards is that only half of the available S2 ports are used. This allows up to two additional LCCs to be added later without having to re-cable the initial 2 LCCs.

The figure below shows the connections for one fabric plane. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining five fabric planes until all 12 S2 FCs cards are connected.

Multi-Chassis 2+2 Configuration

This section describes how to configure a multi-chassis 2+2 configuration. In this configuration, two line card chassis (LCC0 and LCC1) are connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1).

Prerequisites

For connecting the fabric, you need the following:

  • 192 MPO-24 fiber cables (96 per LCC)

  • Optical module sets:

    • In 1T multi-chassis 2+2 mode: Four CXP optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 CXP-100G-SR12 modules for a total of 384 modules.

    • In 2T multi-chassis 2+2 mode: Four CXP2 optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT2). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 ONS-CXP2-SR25 modules for a total of 384 modules.

Configuring a 2+2 Configuration with 12 S2 Fabric Cards

The following shows two line card chassis (LCC0 and LCC1) connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1). In this configuration, there are 6 FCs in each fabric card chassis; in total 12 FCs are installed. The figure shows the 2+2 connections for two fabric planes. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining four fabric planes until all 12 S2 cards are connected.

Figure 9. Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis 2+2 Configuration with 12 S2 FC’s

The following table shows the cabling plan for a 2+2 multi-chassis configuration with 12 SC FCs installed. FCC0 has a fabric instance 0 for planes 0 though 5 in FCC0 (6 SC FCs in slots 0 through 5), and fabric instance 1 in FCC1 (also in slots 0 through 5). Other mappings are possible (for example, you can put both instances of planes 0 through 2 in FCC0, and planes 3 though 5 in FCC1 but the following table and software configuration assume that instance 0 is in FCC0 and instance 1 is in FCC1.

Configuring a 2+2 Configuration with 24 S2 Fabric Cards

The following figure shows four line card chassis (LCC0 and LCC1) connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1). In this configuration, there are 12 FCs in each fabric card chassis; in total 24 FCs are installed. The figure shows the 2+2 connections for two fabric planes. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining four fabric planes until all 24 S2 cards are connected.

Figure 10. Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis 2+2 Configuration with 24 S2 FC’s

The following table shows the cabling plan for a 2+2 multi-chassis configuration with 24 SC FCs installed. The FCC0 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 0, 2, and 4. The FCC1 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 1, 3, and 5.

Multi-Chassis 4+2 Configuration

This section describes how to configure a multi-chassis 4+2 configuration. In this configuration, four line card chassis (LCC0, LCC1, LCC2, and LCC3) are connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1).

Prerequisites

For connecting the fabric, you need the following:

  • 384 MPO-24 fiber cables (96 per LCC)

  • Optical module sets:

    • In 1T multi-chassis 4+2 mode: Eight CXP optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 CXP-100G-SR12 modules for a total of 768 modules.

    • In 2T multi-chassis 4+2 mode: Eight CXP2 optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT2). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 ONS-CXP2-SR25 modules for a total of 768 modules.

Configuring a 4+2 Configuration with 12 S2 Fabric Cards

The following figure shows four line card chassis (LCC0, LCC1, LCC2, and LCC3) connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1). In this configuration, there are 6 FCs in each fabric card chassis; in total 12 FCs are installed. The figure shows the 4+2 connections for two fabric plane. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining four fabric planes until all 12 S2 cards are connected.

Figure 11. Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis 4+2 Configuration with 12 S2 FC’s

The following tables show the cabling plan for a 4+2 multi-chassis configuration with 12 SC FCs installed. FCC0 has a fabric instance 0 for planes 0 though 5 in FCC0 (6 SC FCs in slots 0 through 5), and fabric instance 1 in FCC1 (also in slots 0 through 5). Other mappings are possible (for example, you can put both instances of planes 0 through 2 in FCC0, and planes 3 though 5 in FCC1 but the following table and software configuration assume that instance 0 is in FCC0 and instance 1 is in FCC1.

Configuring a 4+2 Configuration with 24 S2 Fabric Cards

The following figure shows four line card chassis (LCC0, LCC1, LCC2, and LCC3) connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1). In this configuration, there are 12 FCs in each fabric card chassis; in total 24 FCs are installed. The figure shows the 4+2 connections for one fabric plane. To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining five fabric planes until all 24 S2 cards are connected.

Figure 12. Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis 4+2 Configuration with 24 S2 FC’s

The following tables show the cabling plan for a 4+2 multi-chassis configuration with 24 SC FCs installed. The FCC0 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 0, 2, and 4. The FCC1 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 1, 3, and 5.

Multi-Chassis 8+2 Configuration

This section describes how to configure a multi-chassis 8+2 configuration. In this configuration, eight line card chassis (LCC0, LCC1, LCC2, LCC3, LCC4, LCC5, LCC6, and LCC7) are connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1).

Prerequisites

For connecting the fabric, you need the following:

  • 768 MPO-24 fiber cables per system

  • Optical module sets:

    • In 1T multi-chassis 8+2 mode: Eight CXP optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 CXP-100G-SR12 modules for a total of 1536 modules.

    • In 2T multi-chassis 8+2 mode: Eight CXP2 optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT2). Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each set includes 96 ONS-CXP2-SR25 modules for a total of 1536 modules.


      Note

      If a 1T LCC is preferred, then ONS-100G-SR12 module can be used for that particular LCC.

Configuring a 8+2 Configuration with 24 S2 Fabric Cards

In this configuration, there are 12 FCs in each fabric card chassis; in total 24 FCs are installed.

To complete the configuration, you must repeat the cabling for the remaining five fabric planes until all 24 S2 cards are connected.

The following tables show the cabling plan for a 8+2 multi-chassis configuration with 24 SC FCs installed. The FCC0 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 0, 2, and 4. The FCC1 has the fabric instances 0 through 5 for planes 1, 3, and 5.
