Virtual Network Element using vMCU Hosted on Main Blade

A virtual NE combines a set of L100 Blades to provide a particular solution. In a virtual NE, virtual Management
and Control Unit (vMCU) software component is hosted on the Main L100 Blade. The vMCU provides the
management complex for the virtual NE and terminates the external management interface. The vMCU provides
hardware-independent common control software for the components of the virtual NE.
As shown in the following figure, an external Software Defined Network (SDN) controller connects to the Main
L100 Blade through a Data Communications Network (DCN) that is connected to the LCN1 port on the Main L100
Blade. The LCN3 port on the Main L100 Blade is connected to the LCN4 port on the first tributary blade. The
LCN3 port on each succeeding tributary blade is connected to the LCN4 port on the next tributary blade. Finally,
the LCN3 port on the last tributary blade is connected to the LCN4 port on the Main L100 Blade. These
connections provide management and control signaling between each blade in the virtual NE to and from the
vMCU on the Main L100 Blade.
