Supported Rsp Features; Supported Rsps - Cisco NCS 4216 Manual

RSP Modules
• Redundant RSP management—The RSP manages detection of RSPs, exchange of health and status
information, role negotiation, function for detection, health and status exchange, role negotiation
• Packet processing
• Traffic management, including buffering, queuing, and scheduling, Ethernet MAC functions
• Network clocking functions including phase and time-of-day for BITS, 1 PPS, 10 MHz, and 1588 PTP
clock references
• Storage of software images, system configuration, SysLog
• PTP packet processing including IEEE 1588-2008 for recovering network timing (frequency, phase,
and time) from upstream PTP clocks, for generating PTP frequency and phase references as inputs to
the SETS, and for distributing them to downstream PTP clocks
• External management interfaces (RS232 console, management ENET, USB console, USB storage) and
system status LED indicators

Supported RSPs

Effective Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.18.06v.S, the Cisco NCS 4216 supports the following RSP:
• NCS4216-RSP—Provides 8 GB of SDRAM, 20 Mb of TCAM memory on every ASIC.
The RSP does not provide external network interfaces for user traffic. All network interfaces are provided
through separate IMs.

Supported RSP Features

The RSP provides the following features on the Cisco router:
• Centralized data plane, timing, and control plane functions for the system
• High-level control of interface modules
• Management functionalities for the router
• Control plane (host) CPU and associated memory in which Cisco IOS XE software and platform control
software runs
• Nonvolatile memory for storage of software images, configurations, and system files
• Enabling and monitoring the health and presence of fan trays, interface modules, and power supplies
• Field replacement and hot-swap capabilities
Swapping of Interface Modules
The following Ethernet interface modules support swapping on the Cisco NCS4216-RSP module:
• SFP Combo IM—8-port Gigabit Ethernet (8X1GE) + 1-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (1X10GE)
• 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module (2X40GE)
• 1-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (1 X SFP+) / 1-port Gigabit Ethernet (1 X SFP) / 2-port Gigabit Ethernet (1
X CSFP) and 16-port Gigabit Ethernet (8 X CSFP) / 8-port Gigabit Ethernet (8 X SFP) Interface Module
