CHAPTER 1

Cisco NCS 560-4 Router Overview

The Cisco NCS 560-4 (4RU) router, is a full-featured, modular and programmable aggregation router. It is

designed for the cost-effective delivery of converged mobile (IP RAN, Mobile xHaul), residential, and business

services (MEF CE 3.0, layer 2/layer 3 and EVPN). The Cisco NCS 560-4 router provides redundancy, shallow

depth, low power consumption, high Ethernet interface density, and high services scale, is optimized for

aggregation and remote Point-Of-Presence (POP) applications
