1The DS3 subtending interfaces for the OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card are located on the I/O card. 2The BNC subtend connectors for the OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card are located on the I/O card. |
This section provides the following information about OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 cards:
In addition to the features described in the "Introduction" section, the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card
Note The BITS interface is connected through a header located on the back of the Cisco 6015 chassis,
through the I/O card located on the back of the Cisco 6100, Cisco 6130, and Cisco 6160 chassis,
or through the I/O module on the front of the Cisco 6260. Redundancy is not supported on the Cisco 6015 and Cisco 6100 chassis. |
Note The I/O module does not function when you use an OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the Cisco 6015; however,
an I/O module must be installed in the chassis for the system to operate correctly. The OC-3c/OC-3c
NI-2 card does not support the DS3, E1, or T1 interface found on the front of the Cisco 6015 I/O module.
Therefore, the trunk and subtending interfaces are provided on the front of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card. The OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card can be used only in a commercial environment and does not work in an outside-plant environment. Either Cisco 6015 I/O module can be installed in conjunction with the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card. New versions of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card SMF and MMF (NI2-155SM-155SM2 and NI2-155MM-155MM2) support enhanced upstream bandwidth for use with the 8xG.SHDSL line card. For you to achieve maximum bandwidth rates for each 8xG.SHDSL, the updated boot image, ni2-dboot2-mz, must be running on the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card. |

1The version of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card with enhanced upstream bandwidth features (NI2-155SM-155SM2 and NI2-155MM-155MM2) has a 2M x 32 bootflash (8 MB). |
The NI-2 card receives its network timing signal from any one of the following sources:
Note For more information about network clocking with a subtended configuration or for more information about connecting the BITS clock, refer to the appropriate hardware installation guide. |
Redundancy is available for Cisco 6130, Cisco 6160, and Cisco 6260 systems. The following forms of redundancy are available:
Note Line card redundancy is not supported. |
NI-2 card cold redundancy requires that two NI-2 cards be installed in the chassis. The primary card is installed in slot 10 of the chassis, and the secondary card is installed in slot 11. Either the primary or the secondary NI-2 card can serve as the active NI-2 card. The interface types must be the same for both the primary and secondary NI-2 cards. See Table 2 for a list of NI-2 cards that support cold redundancy and information about NI-2 card and chassis compatibility.
During steady-state operations, one NI-2 card functions as the active unit, and the other functions as the standby unit. The active NI-2 card displays a green ACTIVE LED. In an active state, the NI-2 card
The standby NI-2 card plays a minimal role during steady-state operations. In a standby state, the NI-2 card
For management purposes, the primary and secondary NI-2 cards appear as one element. The cards share one IP address.
Note For information on NI-2 card cold redundancy switchover conditions, refer to the Upgrading DSLAMs
for NI-2 Card and APS Link Redundancy document. Due to the differences in bootflash between the commercial OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (NI-2-155SM-155SM and NI-2-155SM-155MM) and the version of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card with enhanced upstream bandwidth features (NI2-155SM-155SM2 and NI2-155MM-155MM2), the NI2 redundancy feature of syncing the bootflash with the secondary sync bootflash command and the
auto-sync configuration bootflash command are not supported.
|
APS link redundancy provides recovery from a cut fiber or the failure of an OC-3c optical transmitter or receiver interface on an NI-2 card. APS link redundancy is available on OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card trunk interfaces and OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card trunk and subtend interfaces.
The working link is the fiber connection between the ATM switch and the primary NI-2 card installed in slot 10 of the chassis. The protection link is the fiber connection between the ATM switch and the secondary NI-2 card installed in slot 11 of the chassis. When the fiber or optical ports on the active NI-2 card fail, that card remains active, but uses the corresponding fiber or optical ports on the standby NI-2 card.
APS protocol information is carried over the protection link connected to the secondary NI-2 card in slot 11. The standby NI-2 card continually reports Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) state information to the active NI-2 card.
APS link redundancy is nonrevertive. For example, after a switchover from the working to the protection link occurs, the active NI-2 card switches back to the working fiber only if manually forced through a CLI command or if a failure condition occurs on the protection link. However, if a failure condition occurs on the protection link while the working link is still in a failed state, a switch back to the working link does not occur.
Note For information on APS link redundancy switchover conditions, refer to the Upgrading DSLAMs for NI-2 Card and APS Link Redundancy document. |
NI-2 card redundancy is supported in a DS3 subtend tree or in an OC-3c subtend daisy-chain if both the subtending host chassis and the subtended node chassis have primary and secondary NI-2 cards installed. An NI-2 card failure on a node in a subtend tree or daisy-chain temporarily interrupts traffic to all subtended node chassis.
APS link redundancy is supported in subtending configurations only if the subtending host chassis has a secondary (redundant) OC-3c/OC-3c or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card installed.
Note For more information about subtending and subtended network configurations, refer to the appropriate hardware installation guide. |
This section provides software and network management requirements, as well as a list of parts and tools that you need to install or remove NI-2 cards.
Table 11 and Table 12 list the minimum Cisco IOS software and network management requirements for provisioning and managing the NI-2 cards.
Note Network management through CDM is optional. |

This section covers the following topics:
The following examples list recommended installation and replacement practices for the NI-2 cards.
Caution Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt system operation. |
The NI-2 card can be hot swapped. Hot swapping allows you to remove and replace the cards without disconnecting the system power. When the system detects that you have added or removed a card, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines and acknowledges the presence or absence of the card.
Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. ESD damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Use an antistatic strap when you handle any card or component.
Follow these guidelines to prevent ESD damage:
Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. Ensure that the measurement is between 1 and 10 megohms. |
The following sections describe how to remove and install a DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card or an ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card.
Complete the following steps to remove a DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card or an ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card from the chassis.
Caution This caution applies only to the Cisco 6160 and Cisco 6260 chassis. The Cisco 6015 chassis does not support redundancy. Service is interrupted to the entire system when the NI-2 card is removed unless a secondary NI-2 card is installed in the chassis. If a secondary NI-2 card is not installed, ensure that a service interruption is acceptable before proceeding. If a secondary NI-2 card is installed in the chassis, removing the active NI-2 card causes a switchover to the standby NI-2 card, which interrupts data traffic for approximately 60 seconds. Removing a standby NI-2 card does not interrupt service to the system. |
Step 1 Connect a grounding strap to the ESD grounding jack.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable connected to the RJ-45 auxiliary port (AUX) on the NI-2 card, as necessary.
Step 3 Disconnect the cable connected to the system console port (CNSL) on the NI-2 card, as necessary.
Step 4 Disconnect the cable connected to the RJ-45 10BaseT receptacle (ENET) on the NI-2 card, as necessary.
