NCS5k as an nV Satellite – XR 6.0.0 FCS
• NCS-5002 can be used directly as an nV Satellite H/w, S/w PIDs and all onboard firmware are same for standalone and satellite operations.
• 100% plug-and-play installation
• No need to telnet directly into this switch for initial installation or for feature configuration/ monitoring; all handled from host ASR9K.
• On first time boot up, the s/w intelligently discovers the mode it’s supposed to operate on and switches to satellite mode (if it receives SDAC discovery probes from the Host) or standalone mode (if user starts configuration directly) as needed.
