Overview
This topic explains the prerequisites to add the NCS 2000 nodes to Cisco Optical Site Manager.
To successfully add NCS 2000 nodes and SVO line cards to Cisco Optical Site Manager, complete these prerequisites:
Pre-requisites for NCS 2000 upgrade
Complete these prerequisite checks and configurations in CTC before you upgrade NCS 2000 nodes and add them to Cisco Optical Site Manager:
-
Verify that each NCS 2000 node is configured as multishelf.
-
Confirm that Rack IDs and Chassis IDs are set according to requirements on every NCS 2000 node.
-
Enable SOCKS-proxy by selecting and then select the Enable SOCKS-proxy only check box.
This configuration applies to all NCS 2000 nodes such as ROADM, OLA, and remote transponders.
-
Run the node diagnostic and capture a snapshot.
-
For any NCS 2000 Remote TXP nodes, adjust Rack IDs and Chassis IDs to prevent shelf overlap with the associated ROADM node. Set the Rack Number for the remote transponder node to be different from that of the ROADM node.
Choose and click Edit.
Set the Rack Number for the NCS 2000 remote transponder node that is different from the Rack Number of the NCS 2000 ROADM node to which you want to add the NCS 2000 remote transponder node.
