Multi-Chassis 4+2 Configuration

This section describes how to configure a multi-chassis 4+2 configuration. In this configuration, four line
card chassis (LCC0, LCC1, LCC2, and LCC3) are connected to two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1).

Prerequisites

For connecting the fabric, you need the following:
• 384 MPO-24 fiber cables (96 per LCC)
• Optical module sets:
◦ In 1T multi-chassis 4+2 mode: Eight CXP optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT). Two
sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC. Each
set includes 96 CXP-100G-SR12 modules for a total of 768 modules.
◦ In 2T multi-chassis 4+2 mode: Eight CXP2 optical module sets (Cisco PID NCS-FAB-OPT2).
Two sets are required per LCC: one set plugs into the LCC and the other set plugs into the FCC.
Each set includes 96 ONS-CXP2-SR25 modules for a total of 768 modules.
