Turning Up a Node
This chapter explains how to provision a single Cisco NCS node and turn it up for service, including assigning
the node name, date, and time; provisioning timing references; provisioning network attributes such as IP
address and default router; setting up users and user security; installing cards; and creating DWDM connections.
Note
The procedures and tasks described in this chapter for the Cisco NCS platform is applicable to the Cisco NCS
2002 and Cisco NCS 2006 platforms, unless noted otherwise.
Note
Procedures in this chapter require that you have a network plan calculated for your DWDM network with
Cisco Transport Planner. Cisco Transport Planner is a DWDM planning tool that is available from your Cisco
account representative. Cisco Transport Planner prepares a shelf plan for each network node and calculates
the power and attenuation levels for the DWDM cards installed in the node. For information about Cisco
Transport Planner, contact your Cisco account representative. For instructions on using Cisco Transport
Planner, refer to the Cisco Transport Planner DWDM Operations Guide.
Note
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) views referenced in these procedures depend on the mode. In single-shelf
mode, the views are network, node, and card. In multishelf mode, the views are network, multishelf, shelf,
and card. For more information about CTC views, refer to
