The MSM (multishelf management) ports are present on the ECU module. The MSM ports located on the left
side of the ECU module correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1, and the MSM ports located
on the right side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 8. For more information about the
ECU module and MSM ports, see the
External Connection Units, on page 72
Note
This procedure explains the steps to connect the ONS 15454 multishelf node and subtending shelves to a
24-port Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 3560 switch. Follow the steps provided in this procedure to connect the
multishelf node to the 48-port Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 3560 switch.
Note
Cisco ONS 15454 M12 subtended shelf does not support connecting to NCS multi-shelf node.

Procedure
Step 1
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into Port 1 of the active Catalyst 3560.
b) Plug the other connector into the front panel of the node controller TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card in Slot 7.
Step 2
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into Port 1 of the standby Catalyst 3560.
b) Plug the other connector into the front panel of the node controller TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card in Slot 11.
Step 3
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into Port 23 of the active Catalyst 3560.
b) Plug the other connector into Port 23 of the standby Catalyst 3560.
Use TCC3 cards in the ONS 15454 node controller while connecting it to the ONS 15454 M6
subtending shelves and when there are more than 12 subtending shelves.
Note
Step 4
To connect an ONS 15454 M6 subtending shelf to the Catalyst 3560 switches, complete the following:
a) Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
•
• Plug one connector into the MSM port of the subtending ONS 15454 M6 shelf that corresponds
to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1.
• Plug the other connector into Port 2 of the active Catalyst 3560.
b) Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
