IMPORTANT TO KNOW – ARCHITECTURE AND
CONFIGURATION
BCN – Box Controller Node
• Each BCN contains two (2) Internal Switches

• Main Switch – Which has SFP0, SFP1, SFP2, SFP3, SFP4, SFP5, SFP6 & Trace
Port plus others linked internally

• External Switch – Which has SFP11, SFP12…..SFP21 & SFP22 + Others linked
internally

CONFIGURATION
BCN – Box Controller Node
Standard Working Configurations for mcRNC are;

• S1 or Step-1 – This is made up of two (2) BCNs

• S3 or Step-3 – This is made up of four (4) BCNs

• S7 or Step-7 – This is made up of eight (8) BCNs

By default, all BCNs are delivered with S7-B configuration, where all the Interconnect SFPs are enabled.

When ports are enabled but are NOT utilized, it raises ETHERNET LINK FAILURE
alarm.

It is the responsibility of the commissioner of the BCN to know the RNC configuration and configure the
ports correctly

CORRECT PORT CONFIGURATION
The RNC has scripts inside it to correct the configuration to the required status permanently

The scripts can be found at:

/opt/nsn/SS_QNTools/script/

The scripts are listed below and must be executed with the root authority;

zs1_sfp_disable_bcnb.scli

zs3_sfp_disable_bcnb.scli
zs7_sfp_disable_bcnb.scli
