Cabling the Control Network Using 22-Port Shelf ControllerGigabit Ethernet Cards
This chapter describes how to connect cables between two 22-port SCGE cards and the other components ofa multishelf system. These connections establish control network connectivity for the multishelf system.
These procedures are for a newmultishelf system installation. If you are converting a Cisco Catalyst-basedcontrol network over to a 22-port SCGE card control network, see the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing SystemMultishelf System Upgrade and Conversion Guide.
Note
Control Network CablingThis section describes cabling assignments for various multishelf system configurations. The followingsub-sections are included:
The multishelf system is connected between LCC and FCC with four paths per LCC (two per each RPconnection). Each of the two paths have Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connections (on each RP) that are connectedto two connections on each GE (on the 22-port SCGE cards) in the FCCs. The 22-port SCGE card providesthe GE path, or control Ethernet network, between all chassis.
A multishelf system will operate with only one 22-port SCGE card installed, but Cisco strongly suggestsusing two cards for redundancy. If you operate the multishelf system with a single card and that card fails,the multishelf system has no control network connectivity and the router fails.
Caution
Note the following connection tips:
Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Multishelf System Interconnection and Cabling Guide 1
• Any GE ports can be used, in any sequence, but we suggest using ports in sequence as a convention toenable easier maintenance.
• SCGE0 is the 22-port SCGE card in the FCC upper card cage. SCGE1 is the 22-port SCGE card in theFCC lower card cage.
Do not remove the plugs from the GE optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connectthe cable. The plugs protect the bores and cable from contamination.
Caution
Prerequisites• Before cabling the system, install each line card chassis (LCC) and fabric card chassis (FCC) in theplanned location.
For information on installing the LCCs and FCCs, see the following documents:
• Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Fabric Card Chassis Installation Guide◦
◦Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 16-Slot Line Card Chassis Installation Guide
• All connections are made using single-mode LC to LC fiber cables.
• Determine the required amount of cabling based on the configuration in use:
◦Single-FCC system requires 9 cables—8 RP to SCGE cables and 1 mesh cable
◦Two-FCC system requires 14 cables—8 RP to SCGE cables and 6 mesh cables
◦Four-FCC system requires 36 cables—8 RP to SCGE cables and 28 mesh cables

Connections for a Single-FCC SystemThe figure below shows the cabling scheme for a single-FCC system. The table below lists the cablingconnections that must be completed between the RPs and the 22-port SCGE cards and Table 2: MeshConnections (Single-FCC System), on page 5 lists the mesh connection in a single-FCC system.
Figure 1: Connections Within a Single-FCC Multishelf System
Note that, while Figure 3-1 describes a two-LCCmultishelf system, up to eight LCCs can be added to a singleFCCmultishelf system. The same level of expansion is possible in a two- or four-FCCmultishelf system eventhough Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-5 show two LCCs. Table 3-1 and Table 3-3 map out eight LCCs.

Mesh Cabling (Four-FCC System)
To complete the cabling of a four-FCC system, all of the 22-port SCGE cards in the FCCs must be connectedto each other in a full mesh configuration. This provides a great amount of redundancy, so in the event thatone of the nodes fails, network traffic is directed to any of the other nodes. The figure below shows a graphicalview of the full mesh configuration.

What to Do NextAfter you cable the control network, configure the 22-port SCGE cards, as described in Cisco IOS XR GettingStarted Guide . The control network must be brought up to enable communications between the racks and tosupport software downloads from the DSC rack to the other racks.
