This section explains remote node management using GCC in Cisco Optical Site Manager. The transponder cards that are supported for remote node management using GCC on Cisco web UI are 200G-CK-LC, and 400G-XP and 10x10-LC cards.

The remote node management feature enables you to manage NCS 1000 devices equipped with transponder cards remotely via in-band General Communication Channel (GCC) channels that utilize fiber optics from OTN clients. To create and manage the GCC channel to the remote NCS 1000 node, you must use the Cisco Light Web UI present on the NCS 1000 node itself.

The transponder cards that are supported for remote node management using GCC on Cisco web UI are 200G-CK-LC, and 400G-XP and 10x10-LC cards.

Limitations

For remote nodes using a GCC0 channel, Cisco Optical Site Manager and NCS 1000 must be in different subnets.

    • 200G-The option is MXP 10x10G.

    • 400G-The options are M100 or M200.

      • M100

        • First Slice-First slice should be configured when you are using M_200G as the port mode.

        • Second Slice-Choose the slice on which the card is configured. The options are OPM 100G or OPM 10 X 10G.

      • M200
