Plan Cisco Optical Site Manager deployment before configuration starts by confirming placement, IP addressing, YAML files, UID strategy, and instance requirements.
Use this topic to plan Cisco Optical Site Manager deployment before network transition begins. Identify SVO card placement, IP addressing, YAML file requirements, UID mapping, and instance requirements needed for onboarding.
Cisco Optical Site Manager deployment plan
This workflow defines the planning activities required before the network transition and Cisco Optical Site Manager deployment. No configuration is performed on the network during this workflow. The objective is to prepare all required inputs for SVO card installation and Cisco Optical Site Manager instance creation. Define these items:
-
SVO card deployment model and placement
-
Cisco Optical Site Manager IP addressing
Cisco Optical Site Manager YAML file preparation
-
Cisco Optical Site Manager UID planning
The related sections describe these points.
SVO card deployment plan
Define the SVO card deployment model and its placement within the network.
Consider these aspects:
-
Selection of ROADM nodes hosting SVO cards
-
HA model (local, distributed, geo)
The deployment model impacts redundancy, availability, and Cisco Optical Site Manager instance distribution.
Cisco Optical Network Planner 26.1.1 provides capabilities to help users allocate SVO cards in the network.
Cisco Optical Site Manager IP address plan
Define the IP addressing scheme for Cisco Optical Site Manager instances and SVO cards.
Ensure these items:
-
Cisco Optical Site Manager IP addresses belong to the management network
-
Each Cisco Optical Site Manager instance has a unique IP address
Cisco Optical Site Manager YAML file requirements
Prepare the YAML file according to the Cisco Optical Site Manager installation requirements for NCS 2000 SVO-LC deployments.
For more details, see Network YAML configuration file for Geo HA.
Cisco Optical Site Manager UID plan
Define the UID allocation strategy for all devices managed by Cisco Optical Site Manager.
Consider these items:
-
Mapping between NCS 2000 chassis IDs and Cisco Optical Site Manager UIDs
-
UID allocation for remote transponder, standalone transponder, and NCS 1000 nodes
-
Plan UIDs for chassis related to remote transponder nodes, standalone transponder nodes, or NCS 1000 transponders so the chassis can be identified consistently.
-
If the ROADM is added as the first device, follow the UID mapping rules defined for the Cisco Optical Site Manager instance plan.
