Cisco NCS 5700 Router Overview

The Cisco NCS 5700 series fixed-port routers provide aggregation, distributed core, and peering fabric.

The Cisco NCS 5700 series offers two types of systems. Those without external-TCAM (non-SE) rely only

on the on-chip resources available for feature scale. The second type of system is equipped with external-TCAM

(-SE) which provides an extended scale in addition to the on-chip scale. These systems provide functionality

vital to both Top of Rack (ToR) and modern spine-and-leaf architectures.

NCS-57B1

The NCS-57B1 routers provide a power-efficient package with 4.8 Terabits of 400GE/100GE optimized

forwarding capacity.

A total of 29 ports:

• 24x100G QSFP-DD

• 5x400G QSFP-DD

NCS-57B1-5D24H-SE (Perpetual

NCS-57B1-6D24-SYS (Flexible

Consumption Model)

Also known as non-SE variant

For more information on its features and benefits, see the Cisco NCS-57B1 Fixed Chassis Data Sheet.

NCS-57C3-MOD

The NCS-57C3-MOD routers provide a power-efficient package with up to 2.4 Terabits of optimized forwarding

capacity.

Table 2: Cisco NCS-57C3-MOD Chassis Variants

Port ConfigurationVariant

A total of 52 ports:

• 48 ports of 25G SFP28

• 4 ports of 100G QSFP28

In addition, the chassis has 3 Modular Port Adapter (MPA) slots. See

Modular Port Adapters, on page 7 for information on MPAs.

Field Replaceable Units

The NCS 5700 series fixed-port routers support the following FRUs:

• Fan modules (NCS-57B1) and fan trays (NCS-57C3-MOD)

• Power Supply Units

• Modular Port Adapters (MPAs)—supported on the NCS-57C3-MOD routers

• Route Processors

All FRUs support OIR (Online Insertion and Removal).

Fan Modules and Fan Trays

Fans are responsible for cooling the system and to maintain proper airflow through the system. The fan modules

work with N+1 redundancy.

The NCS-57B1 router has 6 latched fan modules that install into the chassis from the rear. The router supports

the NC57-B1-FAN1-FW fan module.

Figure 1: NCS-57B1 Fan Module

The NCS-57C3-MOD router has 6 latched fan trays that install into the chassis from the rear:

• Fan tray slots 0 and 1 support fan tray assembly with 2x60mm fans (NC57-C3-FAN2-FW)

• Fan tray slots 2 through 5 support fan tray assembly with 2x40mm fans (NC57-C3-FAN1-FW)
