Cisco NCS 5001 Overview

The Cisco NCS 5001 router is an extension to Cisco's routing platform portfolio enabling Service Providers and MPLS enabled data center architectures to offer elastic networks with improved business agility and simplified operations to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.

It can also operate as an extension shelf of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers using Network Virtualization (nV) technology, consolidating multiple layers in the network and dramatically reducing operational costs.

The Cisco NCS 5001 router is a small form factor dense GE/10GE aggregation systems. Powered by industry leading routing operation system, IOS-XR, the system also offers rich functions such as third party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry and flexible package delivery.

Features

Power Supply

The Cisco NCS 5001 chassis has slots for two 1+1 redundant power supplies. Power supply options need to be configured with the base chassis. A minimum of one power supply is required for normal operation. The following table lists the power supplies that are configurable with the Cisco NCS 5001 router.

Fan Modules

The Cisco NCS 5001 chassis has slots for two 1+1 redundant fan modules. The fan modules are hot-swappable. Fan modules operate in an 1+1 redundancy mode. Fan options need to be configured with the base chassis. The Cisco NCS 5001 system supports both forward and reverse airflow. The system can work with a single fan failure. More than one fan failure leads to system shutdown. The following table lists the fan modules that are configurable with the Cisco NCS 5001 router.

Cisco NCS 5002

The Cisco NCS 5002 router is also an extension to Cisco's routing platform portfolio enabling Service Providers and MPLS enabled data center architectures to offer elastic networks with improved business agility and simplified operations to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.

It can also operate as an extension shelf of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers using Network Virtualization (nV) technology, consolidating multiple layers in the network and dramatically reducing operational costs.

The Cisco NCS 5002 router is a small form factor dense GE/10GE aggregation systems in 2RU form factor. Powered by industry leading routing operation system, IOS-XR, the system also offers rich functions such as third party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry and flexible package delivery.

Cisco NCS 5011

The Cisco NCS 5011 router is also an extension to Cisco's routing platform portfolio enabling Service Providers and MPLS enabled data center architectures to offer elastic networks with improved business agility and simplified operations to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.

The Cisco NCS 5011 router consists of 32 QSFP+/QSFP28 ports. The NCS 5011 system supports 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, and 100GE.

The Cisco NCS 5011 system extends 4x10G, 4x25G, and 2x50G breakout support for Copper Optics.

Configure Breakout

Log into the router in the config mode, and type the following command (in this example, the breakout optics is inserted in port 0):

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller optics 0/0/0/0 breakout 4x10
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller optics 0/0/0/0 breakout 4x25
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller optics 0/0/0/0 breakout 2x50

Note

The broken out interfaces are named as follows: tenGigE 0/0/0/0/0, tenGigE 0/0/0/0/1, tenGigE 0/0/0/0/2, and tenGigE 0/0/0/0/3 twentyFiveGigE 0/0/0/0/0, twentyFiveGigE 0/0/0/0/1, twentyFiveGigE 0/0/0/0/2, and twentyFiveGigE 0/0/0/0/3 FiftyGigE 0/0/0/0/0, FiftyGigE 0/0/0/0/1 The above commands fail if the optics inserted do not support breakout. Only copper optics are currently supported. The commands succeed if there are no optics inserted, and the breakout is executed whenever optics are inserted at a later stage.

Ports

Cisco NCS 5011 router consists of the following ports:

• 2 x 10GE SFP + ports

• 32 x 100G QSFP28-100 ports

Features

The Cisco NCS 5011 router has the following features:

• Two 1+1 redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, which provide port side intake or exhaust for cooling

• Four 3+1 redundant, hot-swappable fan modules, which provide port side intake or exhaust for cooling

• A management, console, and the USB interface on fan side of the router
