The Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 1002 is a 2-RU system that delivers fully programmable, high-bandwidth capacity (up to 250 Gbps) wavelengths over distances exceeding 3000 km using existing fiber. Powered by the industry-leading Cisco IOS XR operating system, Cisco NCS 1002 offers robust functions such as third party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, and telemetry.
NCS 1002 delivers the following benefits:
-
Supports up to 2 Tbps capacity.
-
Transports 100, 200, or 250Gbps per wavelength on the same platform through software provisioning.
-
Transports 10 GE, 40 GE, and 100 GE on the same platform through software provisioning.
-
Supports grid-less tuning for flex-grid dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM).
-
Supports different modulation formats (PM-QPSK or PM-16QAM).
-
Supports 7% or 20% Soft Decision (SD) FEC for maximum optical performance.
-
Allows for automated installation, configuration, and monitoring.
-
Supports Machine-to-machine (M2M) APIs based on YANG models for ease of configuration.
-
Supports a telemetry agent for a pub-sub model of device monitoring.
This latest release of Cisco IOS XR operating system opens up the architecture of Cisco IOS XR using a 64-bit Linux-based operating system to deliver greater agility, automation, and simplicity, while reducing the cost of operating the networks.
The innovations in this release enable incremental builds, agile workflows, and modular delivery of software, while also offering the capability to host third-party applications on Cisco routers. These innovations deliver these benefits by enabling traditional and web service providers to converge their data centers and wide area network (WAN) architectures, by making networks more programmable, and by facilitating tighter integration with popular IT configuration and management tools.

Software Features Introduced in Release 6.2.1
These are the software features for the release 6.2.1.
10G/40G Support for MACsec
10G and 40G client rates are supported in slices configured in encrypted mode.
To configure the slices with 10G and 40G client rates, see the Configuring MACsec Encryption chapter in the Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 1002 `.
GMPLS UNI
The user can create a GMPLS optical channel trail (OCH Trail) in a network where the NCS 1002 node is connected to a NCS 2000 series node. The OCH trail circuit originates from a NCS 1002 trunk interface (UNI-C) on the source NCS 1002 node and terminates on the NCS 2000 series interface (UNI-N) on the destination NCS 2000 series node to create an optical connection. In a ROADM network, the wavelengths can be automatically configured using GMPLS UNI. GMPLS UNI is supported only on the 100G and 200G trunk ports of the NCS 1002 node.
To configure GMPLS UNI, see the Configuring GMPLS UNI chapter in the Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 1002 `.
Open Config Optical Model
The Open Config (OC) model is a cross-connect model that provides a unique way to provision the Cisco NCS 1002 using YANG models that are defined for configuration data and operational data. The gRPC (google-defined Remote Procedure Calls) and NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) communication protocols are used to establish connection between the client and Cisco NCS1002. Using Open Config Data models, the user can configure the slices to send the traffic with the following client rates and trunk rates.
- 10Gx100G
- 10Gx200G
- 40Gx100G
- 40Gx200G
- 100Gx100G
- 100Gx200G
- 100Gx250G
To configure the slices with different client rates and trunk rates using Terminal-device model, see the Terminal-device Model chapter in the Data Models Configuration Guide for the Cisco NCS 1002.
Smart Licensing Support
Smart Licensing support is introduced in Cisco NCS1002 for Release 6.2.1. The following features can be enabled on Cisco NCS1002 using licenses:
- Configuring a slice with 200G DWDM traffic.
- Configuring a slice with 200G/250G DWDM traffic.
- Configuring a slice with encryption.
- Configuring streaming telemetry data.
To configure smart licensing, see the Smart Licensing chapter in the Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 1002.
Alarms
The PLL-FAIL-SLICE alarm is supported in the release 6.2.1.
To clear this alarm and to know the cause and effect, see the Alarm Troubleshooting chapter in the Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco NCS 1002.
