With the following show command, we verify: In this demo, we used an 8-slot chassis with NC55-36X100G-SE-S (powered by Jericho+ ASICs) and starting with IOS XR 6.3.15. The purpose of this configuration being to identify if/when each step will be disruptive for the customer’s services.

We will monitor 3 services (and flows) during the test:Ī route generator completes this picture, advertising 996,940 IPv4 and 225,280 IPv6 routes over BGP (the internet routing scale projection for our customer). The testbed is made of 3 routers (NCS-5508 with 36x100G-SE-S line card, NCS-5501-SE and ASR9000) and one traffic generator (TRex: more details available here). The exhaustive one being specific to customer’s requirement, we purposefully removed a lot of content for this article. Note: this is the short version of the MOP prepared by the CX team for this migration. In this blog post, Benoit Mercier Des Rochettes ( Manager in CX organization) will detail the different step necessary to guarantee a smooth migration from v1 to v2.Īt the moment of this video and blog publication, the v2 “commons” were only available for 8-slot and 16-slot chassis. During the first 3 years of its existence, the NCS-5500 chassis where shipped with v1 FC/FT. For instance, it’s necessary to use “version 2” (v2) fabric cards and fan trays. Introductionīefore insertion of 400GE line cards, the NCS-5500 needs to be modified to support packet forwarding and cooling.
