This chapter describes how NCS 1000 transponders are prepared, onboarded, connected through IPC and LMP, and managed in an NCS 2000 GMPLS network.
Manage NCS 1000 transponders in an NCS 2000 GMPLS network
NCS 1000 transponder management workflow
This section introduces the workflow for integrating NCS 1000 transponder devices into an NCS 2000 network managed by Cisco Optical Site Manager GMPLS.
Prepare NCS 1000 transponders
Prepare NCS 1000 transponders by verifying software, line card state, IP reachability, SSH access, and NETCONF access before onboarding activities.
Onboard NCS 1000 transponders in Cisco Optical Site Manager
Onboard NCS 1000 transponders in Cisco Optical Site Manager by preparing credentials, configuring device gateway access, adding devices, and verifying synchronization.
Configure IPC and LMP connectivity
Configure internal patch cords and Link Management Protocol settings to establish optical connectivity between NCS 1000 transponders and their ROADM sites.
