Cisco NCS 4216 Features
The Cisco NCS 4216 includes the following specific components:
• Chassis —Seven rack unit in height while still maintaining a shallow depth and side-to-side air flow.
• Fan-tray with removable dust filter.
• New form factor and high performance RSP—This high performance RSP has aggregate switching
capacity of 480 Gbps in oversubscribed mode.
• The backplane and the RSP together have the provision to support higher density 10GE modules like
8x10GE and 100GE modules.
• Air flow baffle to allow a system to redirect air and allow front-to-back airflow for cooling.
• Flexible I/O configurations through 16 hot pluggable interface modules (single width). For example,
with NCS4216-RSP in oversubscribed mode:
• Metro ENET switching features along with TDM pseudo-wire support.
• Network processor provides flexibility to off-load control plane CPU processing for select OAM and
management packets (for example, CCM, BFD, LBM).
• Flexible ENET processing through table-driven packet processing engines.
• On-line insertion/removal (OIR) of all FRUs except GPS module, while the system is operational
• Power supply (2+1)—Support for DC power supply. Two PSUs should be powered-on at a time. If all
the three PSUs are powered on, they work in a load-sharing mode.
• Fully-redundant system with redundant combined control plane and data plane (excluding interfaces),
timing support, power supplies, and fans.
• Active and standby support of redundant control plane and data plane, and timing
• Intra-chassis IOS redundancy (requires both RSPs)
• Stateful-switchover between active and standby RSPs (for protocols supported by IOS).
• In-service software upgrade (ISSU) supported with same RSPs.
• Timing support for receipt and distribution of network frequency and time including SyncE, BITS,
1PPS/10MHz I/O, IEEE 1588-2008, and NTP.
• Support for ENET OAM.
• T1/E1 and T3/E3 line protection compliant with NEBS GR-1089.
• Patch Panel for the Interface Modules
