This guide explains how to configure Cisco NCS 1001 systems running IOS XR Release 25.x.x, including management interfaces, controllers, optical modules, OTDR, performance monitoring, AAA, host services, application hosting, and SNMP MIB support.
Configure Management Interfaces
Plan for dual management Ethernet connectivity, configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol, and verify neighbor data on Cisco NCS 1001.
Configure Controllers
Manage OTS and OTS OCH controllers, span loss, dual IP addressing, and LLDP over OSC functions on Cisco NCS 1001 systems.
Configure Optical Modules
Configure Optical Amplifier Module and Protection Switching Module and troubleshoot module-related operations.
Configure OTDR Module
Understand OTDR module capabilities, cabling, configuration modes, event-based automatic scans, scan status and output, photodiode power levels, IPv6 support, and machine learning event classification on Cisco NCS 1001 systems.
Configure Performance Monitoring
Explains how to set optical controller thresholds, collect performance data at supported intervals, and view current or historical counters for troubleshooting.
USB Automount
Explains how to access a USB device as the disk2: file system, mount it when needed, copy files, and unmount it safely before removal.
Fault Profiles
Defines custom fault profiles to adjust default severity levels for data path alarms across system, slot, and port levels. This functionality provides granular control over fault reporting, allowing administrators to prioritize and manage system alerts according to specific network infrastructure needs.
Configure AAA
Describes the implementation of the administrative model of task-based authorization used to control user access in the software system.
Host Services and Applications
Explains host services used to check connectivity, resolve hostnames and IP addresses, transfer files, configure HTTP clients, and view or convert TCP dump.
NCS 1001 Application Hosting
Explains Docker container application hosting and restrictions, architecture and resource controls, TPA bring-up methods, App Manager Docker options, third-party RPM workflows, supported commands, use cases, and third-party Python script deployment.
SNMP MIBs
Explains SNMP MIB support for Cisco NCS 1001, how to enable optical OTS trap notifications, and where to find related SNMP documentation resources.
