Seamless Integration with Cisco Crosswork Network Services Orchestrator (NSO)
Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) delivers a single pane of glass for orchestrating multivendor networks. The ASR 5000 platform, leveraging Cisco STAROS, is fully supported through dedicated Network Element Drivers (NEDs). This license enhances NSO capabilities by enabling CSFB features, allowing automated configuration across hybrid environments via CLI, APIs, and user interfaces. Services like VPN can provision complex multivendor setups effortlessly.
Exceptional Multivendor Support through Network Element Drivers (NEDs)
NSO uses NEDs to support an exceptional range of multivendor devices. Unlike traditional handcrafted adaptors that lag behind device updates, Cisco NSO NEDs are automatically generated from device YANG models or updated in weeks. This drastically shortens development cycles: adding new commands to an existing NED takes a couple of weeks, while creating a new NED takes six to eight weeks, varying by configuration size and complexity.
NEDs communicate over native protocols including Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), Representational State Transfer (REST), Extensible Markup Language (XML), CLI, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Benefits include uniform YANG data models across the network and transactionality for non-transactional devices, enabling atomic changes, rollbacks on failure, and reduced code volume for service applications.

Features and Benefits
Multivendor Service Agility
Cisco NSO simplifies provisioning and controlling applications/services in physical and virtual networks. It decouples services from components, auto-configuring networks per specifications. Few orchestrators match NSO’s multivendor NED support, essential as networks evolve with vendor mixes, upgrades, and new capabilities.
Cisco Environmental Sustainability
Cisco’s environmental policies are detailed in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. Key topics include product material content laws (Materials) and electronic waste regulations (WEEE compliance) for products, batteries, and packaging. Packaging data is for informational purposes and subject to change.
