Use the Functional Module Group (FMG) stepper to configure the operating mode of a card and its supported pluggables while adding the card to the chassis.

Functional Module Group (FMG) stepper simplifies the process of configuring the operating modes for transponder and muxponder cards. In the previous releases, you must navigate through multiple tabs in the Cisco Optical Site Manager application to make the appropriate selections. With the FMG stepper, you can configure the operating modes and sub operating modes of different cards with specific client payloads in simple steps.

Configure card mode using functional module group

Use this task to configure the operating mode and sub operating modes of a card while adding it to the NCS 2006 or NCS 2015 chassis.

Functional Module Group enables you to configure a card mode with supported pluggables while adding the card to the chassis.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to configure card mode using functional module group.

Procedure

  1. Click COSM Topology in the left panel.

    The topology view is displayed.

  2. Click the rack title to zoom into the required rack in the left panel.

    The enlarged view of the rack appears.

  3. Left-click the empty slot in the chassis where you want to add the card.

    Note

    Configuration of card mode cannot start from slot 16 in an NCS 2015 chassis.

    The dialog box for the selected slot appears.

  4. Click FMG Provision to add a card to the chassis and configure its card mode.

    The Functional Module Group wizard appears.

  5. In Add primary module, choose a primary card.

    1. Choose a primary card from the Select primary module drop-down list.
      Note

      When adding the NCS2K-400G-XP or NCS2K-100GS-CK-C card, ensure to follow the correct slot combinations in NCS 2006 and NCS 2015 chassis. If correct slot combinations are not available, the Select primary module drop-down list does not display the NCS2K-400G-XP or NCS2K-100GS-CK-C card.

      A preview of the selected card appears below the drop-down list.

    2. Click Next.

  6. In Select card mode, configure a card mode.

    1. Choose the required card mode configuration from the drop-down list.
      Note

      The number of available card mode configurations differ based on the primary card selected. For more information on the card mode configurations, see Configuring card modes for NCS 2000 line cards.

    2. Click Add.

      When adding the 15454-M-10x10G-LC card, you can choose multiple card mode configurations. You must choose trunk ports for the RGN-10G, TXP-10G, Low Latency, and TXPP-10G card modes, and client port for TXP-10G card mode.

      When adding the NCS2K-400G-XP card, you must choose slice configurations for the card mode selected.

    3. Click Next.

  7. In Add secondary modules, configure the required peer card.

    1. Choose the peer card from the Select secondary modules drop-down list.
      Note

      The Functional Module Group wizard lists the compatible peer cards for the selected primary card and its card mode configuration. For NCS2K-100GS-CK-C and NCS2K-200G-CK-C cards, you must choose sub operating modes for MXP-200G card mode from the Submode drop-down list.

      A preview of the selected peer card appears below the drop-down list.

    2. Click Next.
      Note

      For standalone card modes, the Functional Module Group wizard skips the Add secondary modules step.

  8. In Add pluggables, configure the pluggable parameters.

    Note

    You need to configure the pluggable port modules and pluggable ports for the primary card followed by the secondary cards.

    1. In the Pluggable Port Modules pane, choose from the PPM drop-down list and click Add.

      The added port modules appear below the drop-down list.

    2. In the Pluggable Ports pane, choose from the Port ID and Port Type drop-down lists and click Add.

      The added port ID and port type appear below the drop-down list.

    3. Click Next.

    A preview of the configured cards, pluggable port modules, and pluggable ports appears in Configuration recap. If sub modes and slices are configured, a preview of the sub modes and slices is also displayed.

  9. Click Finish.

    Note

    Errors are displayed if the configuration is inaccurate.

The card is added to the chassis and configured with the selected card mode, peer module, and pluggable settings.
