Management Option 3

In this model, another Cisco edge router like ASR -9K directly connects to the NID. There is no UPE, and
there is unlikely to be a UPE NID Controller subsystem in the ASR 9K. Such customers may use PRIME or
a 3rd party NMS.

Network Configurations

See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network configuration
concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network configurations that use the
switch to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected through Ethernet connections.
