    Ethernet line cards as the location of Inter Chassis Links and Cisco ASR9000v routers as Satellite boxes. Software : Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 or later on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. • The Satellite nV solution uses the Cisco ASR 9000v as the initial satellite switch. For more information on hardware requirements, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
  • Page 3 400 Gbps (with appropriate RSPs) and there is no other way of physically fitting hundreds of gigabit ethernet ports/ SFPs on the face plate of a single Cisco ASR 9000 Series line card. As a result, in order to utilize the full capacity of an Cisco ASR 9000 Series line card, it is necessary to physically separate out the ethernet ports, while maintaining logical management control.
  • Page 4: Overview Of Port Extender Model

    The parent Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is referred as the host in this model. From a management or a provisioning point of view, the physical access ports of the satellite switch are equivalent to the physical ethernet ports on the Cisco ASR9000 Series Router.
  • Page 5 This topology also allows a satellite switch to be geographically at a separate location, other than that of the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. There is no limit set for the distance, and the solution works even when the satellite is placed at a distance of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles from the host.
  • Page 6 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router devices, to handle discovery, provisioning, and monitoring of the satellite devices from the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite System in-band over the ICLs. The Satellite Discovery And Control (SDAC) Protocol provides the behavioural, semantic, and syntactic definition of the relationship between a satellite device and its host.
  • Page 7 IC link congestion and oversubscription scenarios. In addition to the default port-level QoS applied on the satellite system ports, there is also some default QoS applied on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router side, to the ingress and egress traffic from and to the Satellite Ethernet ports.
  • Page 8: Implementing A Satellite Nv System

    Defining the Satellite nV System Each satellite that is to be attached to Cisco IOS XR software must be configured on the host, and also be provided with a unique identifier. In order to provide suitable verification of configuration and functionality, the satellite type, and its capabilities must also be specified.

    Satellite software images are bundled inside a PIE called asr9k-9000v-nV-p.pie within the Cisco ASR9000 Series package. The Cisco IOS XR software production SMU tool can be used to generate patches for the satellite image in the field to deliver bug fixes or minor enhancements without requiring a formal software upgrade.
  • Page 17 For the satellite image upgrade to work, you must ensure that the management-plane CLI is not Note configured on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. If it is configured, then you need to add this exception for each of the 10GigE interfaces, which are the satellite ICLs.
