Overview

Learn how to install Cisco Optical Site Manager on an NCS 2000 SVO-LC by preparing the required network configuration and completing the software installation steps to enable node management through the application.

This workflow helps you install Cisco Optical Site Manager on NCS 2000 SVO-LC.

Before you begin

SVO-LC card is physically installed in the NCS 2000 chassis. For more details, see Install the SVO line card.

Follow these steps to install Cisco Optical Site Manager on NCS 2000 SVO-LC.

Procedure

1.

Prepare the network configuration. For more details, see Network YAML configuration file for Geo HA.

2.

Install Cisco Optical Site Manager. For more details, see Install Cisco Optical Site Manager on NCS 2000 SVO-LC.


Install the SVO line card

Use this task to install the SVO card.

Before you begin

Ensure recommended resources are met:

Procedure

1.

Plug in the SVO line card into the NCS 2000 chassis.

2.

Connect the SVO line card to other cards in the NCS 2000 chassis. For common real cabling scenarios, see HA deployment modes for NCS 2000.

Warning

Any different cabling must be reported to Cisco engineering for an official validation.

3.

Power up the SVO line card.

The SVO line card is successfully installed.

What to do next

Run the Cisco Optical Site Manager installation tool. See Install Cisco Optical Site Manager on NCS 2000 SVO-LC.


Network YAML configuration file for Geo HA

Prepare the network YAML configuration file that includes essential network details needed to set up the SVO-LC interfaces and the Cisco Optical Site Manager application network infrastructure.

Use one network YAML file for each SVO-LC during installation.

  • Set redundancy-mode to GEO_HA to enable Geo high availability.

  • For high-availability deployment with two SVO-LCs, keep both files identical except for server-name.

This example shows an IPv4 network YAML configuration file for Geo HA:

server-name: "Server-A"
mgmt-address-family: "IPv4"
ospf-area-id: "0.0.0.0"
redundancy-mode: "GEO_HA"
servers:
- name: "Server-A"
  mgmt:
    ipv4:
      ip: "10.0.123.0"
      prefix: 22
      gateway: "10.0.123.1"
      host-nic: "10.0.123.2"
  devices:
    ipv4:
      ip: "10.0.1.123"
      prefix: 24
      gateway: "10.0.123.1"
      host-nic: "10.0.123.2"
- name: "Server-B"
  mgmt:
    ipv4:
      ip: "10.1.123.123"
      prefix: 22
      gateway: "10.1.123.1"
      host-nic: "10.1.123.2"
  devices:
    ipv4:
      ip: "10.1.123.123"
      prefix: 24
      gateway: "10.1.123.1"
      host-nic: "10.1.123.2"
