Review how NCS 1000 transponder upgrades fit into an NCS 2000 network managed through Cisco Optical Site Manager during upgrade planning.
Use this topic to plan NCS 1000 transponder upgrades in an NCS 2000 network managed through Cisco Optical Site Manager. Review when to use the same software distribution and activation workflows used for NCS 2000 devices.
NCS 1000 device upgrade workflow
In an NCS 2000 network, NCS 1000 transponder devices are managed through the Cisco Optical Site Manager instance associated onboarding its ROADM.
The NCS 1000 upgrade can be performed using the same workflow adopted for NCS 2000 devices. This requires downloading the Cisco Optical Site Manager 1000 software package and executing the software distribution and activation steps on the target NCS 1000 devices.
The upgrade can be performed using:
-
SWIMU, for centralized orchestration via Cisco Optical Network Controller.
-
Cisco Optical Site Manager web UI, for manual execution.
