Description
Cisco NCS2K-FSSMR-2-LIC Technical Overview
The Cisco NCS2K-FSSMR-2-LIC is a software feature license designed for the Cisco Network Convergence System 2000 (NCS 2000) series optical transport platform. It specifically enables the Flexible Spectrum Management and Restoration (FSSMR) capabilities within the Cisco transport architecture. By deploying the NCS2K-FSSMR-2-LIC, network engineers can implement advanced spectrum optimization and automated restoration protocols across dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) links. This license is essential for managing high-capacity optical channels in complex, multi-degree reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) environments.
Integrating the NCS2K-FSSMR-2-LIC into your existing NCS 2000 chassis allows for granular control over spectral allocation and path recovery. The license optimizes bandwidth efficiency by dynamically adjusting channel spacing to accommodate varying modulation formats and data rates. Utilizing the NCS2K-FSSMR-2-LIC ensures that optical networks maintain high availability through proactive restoration mechanisms during fiber degradation or failure events. This software-defined approach provides the scalability required for modern, high-speed backbone infrastructure.
