Release Notes

Contentionless A/D features are available for ROADM node with more than 12 degrees (up to 16 degrees)
cascading up to four 16-AD-CCOFS units. Also, to increase the number of contentionless A/D channels, a
second layer of SMR can be used. Multiple Layer2 parallel extensions can be used to further increase the A/D
capacity. For more information, see the Node Reference chapter of the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Network
Configuration Guide, Release 10.x.x .
Filler Card Detection
Passive cards such as fillers are used to prevent air leakage in the chassis, as it not recommended to have
empty slots in a chassis (M15, M6, M2). Empty slots in a chassis lead to thermal failures due to increased
temperature of the line cards. For details, see the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Hardware Installation Guide.
Pluggable Port Modules Support
The supported pluggables for the 400G-XP-LC card are:
•
ONS-QSFP28-LR4
•
QSFP-100G-SR4-S
•
QSFP-100G-LR4-S
•
ONS-QSFP-4x10-MLR
•
QSFP-4x10G-LR-S
•
ONS-CFP2-WDM
For more information on the above pluggables, see the Installing the GBIC, SFP, SFP+, QSFP, XFP, CXP,
CFP and CPAK Optical Modules in Cisco NCS Platforms.
NCS 2006 ECU60-S
NCS 2006 ECU60-S is a new type of ECU-S introduced for the NCS 2006 when the shelf is powered at –60
VDC nominal input voltage. This module has eight USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. For more information
about NCS 2006 ECU60-S, see the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Hardware Installation Guide.
CPAK-100G-SR4 Pluggable Port Module
CPAK-100G-SR4 pluggable port module is supported on the MR-MXP, 100G-CK-C, 200G-CK-C cards. For
more details of the pluggable, see the Installing the GBIC, SFP, SFP+, QSFP, XFP, CXP, CFP and CPAK
Optical Modules in Cisco NCS Platforms.
TCC2/TCC2P Card Support
Due to memory limitations, TCC2 or TCC2P cards are not supported as the node controller in multi-shelf
configuration from R10.5.2.6. Hence, it is recommended to use TCC3 card as the node controller in multi-shelf
configuration. However, the TCC2 or TCC2P cards can be used as a subtended controller and also in a
stand-alone configuration. For more information, see the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Control Card and Node
Configuration Guide, Release 10.x.x
Limitations
When the control card prior to the R10.6.1 is provisioned on the network element having R10.6.1 in USB,
the network element goes for roll boot. Hence, it is recommended to remove the control card and synchronize
from R10.6.1 active control card.
