Feature Description

Field Programmable Device (FPD) Upgrade for NCS4K-4H-QDD-P Line Card

Cisco IOS XR Release 6.5.35

You can now perform FPD upgrades on the NCS4K-4H-QDD-P line card. Upgrading the line card is essential to ensure its proper functioning.

Procedure

Step 1

Check the current FPD image version.

Example:

RP/0/RP0:FPD#show hw-module fpd 

or

RP/0/RP0:FPD#show hw-module fpd CCC-FPGA 

or

RP/0/RP0:FPD#show hw-module location 0/FC3 fpd 

or

RP/0/RP0:FPD#show hw-module location 0/FC3 fpd CCC-FPGA

This information determines whether FPD upgrade is required.

Step 2

Verify the FPD versions compatible with the current software version.

Example:

RP/0/RP0:FPD# show fpd package

Step 3

Upgrades the FPD images that need upgrade. If force option is selected then upgrades/downgrades all FPD images.

Example:

RP/0/RP0:FPD# upgrade hw-module location 0/3 fpd all

Note

 

The following FPD's do not have a fallback image:

  • Craft FPD

    If the craft FPD upgrade does not complete or fails, the craft might display a blank screen. In such a case rerun the upgrade command.

  • PEM FPD

    If the PEM FPD upgrade fails, the module might not work as expected. In such a case rerun the upgrade command.

Step 4

admin

Example:

RP/0/RP0:FPD# admin

Enters into administration exec mode.

Step 5

Verify the upgraded FPD version.

show hw location <location> fpd

Example:

RP/0/RP0:FPD#show hw loc 0/7 fpd

Configure Flex Grid Spacing Using CLI

Table 3. Feature History

Feature Name

Release Information

Feature Description

100MHz Grid Spacing for NCS4K-4H-QDD-P line card

Cisco IOS XR Release 6.5.35

The 100MHz flex-grid-spacing feature is now supported on the NCS4K-4H-QDD-P card. Configuration can be done on Bright ZRP optics ports 4 to 7 using the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) interface or command-line interface (CLI).

100MHz Grid Spacing for NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2 line card

Cisco IOS XR Release 6.5.33

In addition to the 50GHZ flex-grid-spacing, you can now configure 100MHz flex-grid-spacing on the CFP2 trunk ports of the NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2 card. The setup can be done by Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or CLI. With 100MHz flex-grid-spacing, you can configure up to 761 different wavelengths; which is more than 96 wavelengths that can be done with 50GHZ flex-grid-spacing.

Commands added:

Commands modified:

You can set up the NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2 and NCS4K-4H-QDD-P line cards with the 50GHz and 100GHz flex grid spacing wavelength options. The NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2 card supports this feature with coherent CFP2 optics, while the NCS4K-4H-QDD-P card supports it with Bright ZRP optics.

The 100GHz grid spacing allows for frequency configurations with seven-digit granularity, enabling the deployment of up to 761 distinct wavelengths on colored optics. This is a significant increase in capacity compared to the 50GHz grid spacing, which supports only 96 wavelengths. This advancement provides users with the flexibility to scale their optical networks more efficiently, accommodating higher volumes of data traffic and catering to the growing demand for bandwidth.

You can also configure the 100MHz grid spacing through CTC. See Configure Flex Grid Spacing Using CTC.

Procedure

Step 1

Enter into the IOS XR and optics controller configuration modes.

Example:


RP/0/RP0:hostname# configure
RP/0/RP0:hostname(config)#controller optics 0/0/0/11

Aggregation of Traffic in OTN

An OTN circuit carries multiple data streams from various sources. It also carries non-OTN data streams (SONET) coming at any rate. These multiple data streams from various sources are combined and transmitted over a single data stream and this is done through multiplexers.

During multiplexing, various weak data streams are converted into a single strong data stream and then a de-multiplexer is used to transmit the data in their respective formats to the destination. This entire process is called OTN aggregation.

Daisy Chain on Management Ports

Table 5. Feature History

Feature Name

Release Information

Description

Daisy Chain Support on NCS 4000

Cisco IOS XR Release 6.5.33

Typically the NCS 4000 devices are connected to a switch requiring 1-to-1 connections. From this release, it will be possible to have a Daisy Chain topology. Here multiple NCS 4000 devices are connected to form a chain-like structure, and only the first and last nodes are connected to a switch, thereby reducing the number of connections.

Also, there is more redundancy as data is transmitted in both directions. The first connection acts as a primary path and carries the traffic whereas the last connection acts as a backup path. If the primary connection fails, the backup path is activated which allows traffic to continue to transmit in the network.

The daisy chain arrangement allows multiple NCS 4000 nodes to be connected to each other in a ring, where the first and last nodes are connected to a switch. The switch allows management of all the NCS4000 devices in the network and also prevents traffic storm. This arrangement allows the switch to transmit data in both directions and prevents one node failure from cutting off certain network parts.


Note

When the EMS or Craft management interface is administratively shutdown using the shutdown command, the peer router interface does not go down due to HW limitation.

The following diagram shows the Daisy Chain topology where five NCS 4000 nodes are connected to each other over the EMS and CRAFT management ports.

Figure 1. NCS4K in a Daisy Chain Network

Configuring Daisy Chain on NCS 4000 involves the following tasks:

Configure Daisy Chain on Switch

You must configure the switch by connecting the switch ports to the head and tail nodes of the NCS4K device before configuring all the NCS4K devices in a daisy chain network. To configure Daisy Chain on switch, follow these steps:

Before you begin

The following prerequisites must be met before configuring Daisy chain on NCS4000:

  • Enable Storm Control on Switch.

  • STP must be running on the TOR switch.

  • Management port 0 must not be in shut down state and must be configured with either IPv4 address.

  • Management port 1 must not be configured with IP address.

  • Daisy chain must be enabled on all the NCS4000 devices in the topology.

Procedure

Step 1

To connect the port 1/0/1 of the switch with the head node of the NCS4K device, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0/1

    Sets 0/1/0/1 as Gigabit Ethernet port and enters the port configuration mode.

  2. switchport access vlan vlan-id

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# switchport access vlan 1526

    Configures the VLAN id 1526 for which this access port carries the traffic.

  3. switchport mode mode

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# switchport mode access

    Specifies the Ethernet port as an access port.

Step 2

To connect the port 1/0/2 of the switch with the tail node of the NCS4K device, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0/2

    Sets 0/1/0/2 as Gigabit Ethernet port and enters the interface configuration mode.

  2. switchport access vlan vlan-id

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# switchport access vlan 1526

    Configures the VLAN id 1526 for which this access port carries the traffic.

  3. switchport mode mode

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# switchport mode access

    Specifies the Ethernet port as an access port.

Step 3

To configure the management ports, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1/0/24

    Sets 0/1/0/24 as Gigabit Ethernet port and enters the interface configuration mode.

  2. switchport access vlan vlan-id

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# switchport access vlan 1526

    Configures the VLAN id 1526 for which this access port carries the traffic.

Step 4

To configure the vlan port, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# interface vlan 1526

    Sets 1526 as VLAN port and enters the interface configuration mode.

  2. ip address addresssubnet-mask

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:switch(config)# ip address 10.0.24.32 255.255.255.224

    Configures the ip address 10.0.24.32 on the CRAFT port of the head node.

Configure Daisy Chain on NCS 4000

After configuring Daisy Chain on switch, you need to configure daisy chain on the NCS 4000 devices. To configure Daisy Chain on NCS 4000, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

To assign IP address to the EMS port of slot RP0, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/10/RP0:ios(config)#interface MgmtEth0/RP0/EMS/0

  2. no shutdown

    Example:

    RP/10/RP0:ios(config-if)#no shut

  3. ipv4 address odu

    Example:

    RP/10/RP0:ios(config-if)#ipv4 address 192.168.1.12/16

Step 2

To configure the CRAFT port of slot RP0, perform these steps:

  1. interface type Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:Node-41(config)#interface  MgmtEth0/RP0/CRAFT/0

  2. bridge-port routed-interface typeRack/Slot/Instance/Port

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:Node-41(config-if)#bridge-port routed-interface MgmtEth0/RP0/EMS/0

  3. no shutdown

    Example:

    RP/0/RP0:Node-41(config-if)#no shutdown

Step 3

To assign IP address to the EMS port of slot RP1, perform the step 1.

Step 4

To configure the CRAFT port of slot RP1, perform the step 2.
