CHAPTER 1

Cisco NCS 1002 Product Overview

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, telemetry and flexible package delivery.

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

CHAPTER 2

Bring-up Cisco NCS 1002

After installing the hardware, boot the Cisco NCS 1002 system. You can connect to the XR console port and

power on the system. NCS 1002 completes the boot process using the pre-installed operating system (OS)

image. If no image is available, NCS 1002 can be booted using the iPXE boot or an external bootable USB

drive.

After booting, create the root username and password, and then use it to log on to the XR console. From the

XR console, access the System Admin console to configure system administration settings.

Boot Sequence

The boot sequence in NCS 1002 that you need to follow is:

1. Boot using SSD (hard disk)

2. Boot using USB drive

3. Boot using iPXE

If there is no bootable image in all three boot options, reboot the system.

System Setup and Software Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 1002

Boot NCS 1002

Use the console port to connect to NCS 1002. By default, the console port connects to the XR mode. If required,

subsequent connections can be established through the management port, after it is configured.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect a terminal to the console port of the RP.

Step 2 Start the terminal emulation program on your workstation.

The console settings are 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits and no parity.

Step 3 Power on the NCS 1002.

To turn on the power shelves, press the power switch up. As NCS 1002 boots up, the boot process details are

displayed at the console of the terminal emulation program.

Step 4 Press Enter.

The boot process is complete when the system prompts you to enter the root-system username. If the prompt

does not appear, wait for a while to give the NCS 1002 more time to complete the initial boot procedure; then

press Enter.

If the boot process fails, it may be because the pre-installed image on the NCS 1002 is corrupt. In

this case, the NCS 1002 can be booted using an external bootable USB drive.

Important

Boot NCS 1002 Using USB Drive

The bootable USB drive is used to re-image the NCS 1002 for the purpose of system upgrade or to boot the

NCS 1002 in case of boot failure. A bootable USB drive is created by copying a compressed boot file into a

USB drive. The USB drive becomes bootable after the contents of the compressed file are extracted.

This task can be completed using the Windows, Linux, or MAC operating systems available on your local

machine. The exact operation to be performed for each generic step outlined here depends on the operating

system in use.

Before you begin

• You need a USB drive with a storage capacity of at least 4 GB.

• NCS 1002 software image can be downloaded from this location.

• Copy the compressed boot file from the software download page at cisco.com to your local machine.

The file name for the compressed boot file is in the format ncs1k-usb-boot-<release_number>.zip. For

example, ncs1k-usb-boot-6.3.2.zip.

Boot NCS 1002

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the USB drive to your local machine and format it with the FAT32 file system.

Step 2 Copy the compressed boot file to the USB drive.

Step 3 Verify that the copy operation is successful. To verify, compare the file size at source and destination. Also,

verify the MD5 checksum value.

Step 4 Extract the content of the compressed boot file by unzipping it in the USB drive. This makes the USB drive

a bootable drive.

The content of the zipped file ("EFI" and "boot" directories) must be extracted directly in the root

folder of the USB drive. If the unzipping application places the extracted files in a new folder, move

the "EFI" and "boot" directories to the root folder of the USB drive.

Note

Step 5 Insert the USB drive in one of the USB ports of NCS 1002.

Step 6 Reboot NCS 1002 using power cycle or console.

Step 7 Press Esc to enter BIOS.

Step 8 Select the Save & Exit tab of BIOS.

Step 9 Choose UEFI based USB device.

The system detects USB and boots the image from USB.
