Overall Satisfaction with Cisco NCS Optical Series
We use Cisco NCS Optical Series as a leaf on our CIN network. Currently use it on various sites and helps us converge networks. It will be a replacement for nokia routers which we consider legacy. So far we have found it to be resilient, but working on a couple of bug fixes with Cisco.
- Label switch routing.
- Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile.
- Ethernet switching.
- iOS XR has SW bugs.
- Monitor session not working well.
- As it supports up to 3 TB ps, support high-bandwidth.
- No negative impact so far.
- Cisco 5000 Series Network Convergence System (NCS 5000), Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points and Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers
I have used Cisco 5000 series mostly as it has other L3 routing capabilities. We use it on core to route IS-IS, OSPF and also peer it on BGP.
