Just to add to what Phil said. The ONS platform has gone through several iterations of hardware and major software upgrades. It sounds like you have the chassis but not the cards. If this is the case, or you're starting from scratch, it would be a good idea to either talk to a Cisco Sales Engineer or post to this list with the cards and software revisions you have in play to make sure everything will work the way you expect. There's nothing worse than putting that new fangled card in with an ancient TCC card and having nothing work. :-) Regards, Mike _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
