There are passive units that are part of NCS 1001 hardware configuration. It is possible to have information
about these passive units as soon as they are connected with a proper USB cable through one of the four
available USB ports on the controller card of the box itself.
In this case their basic parameters are displayed in the output of “show inventory” command by XR or admin
session.
The following passive modules are supported in NCS 1001:

When the supported passive module is connected to the front panel port of NCS 1001, the module is discovered
and the inventory data is read from the USB device. The user can view the details of passive module such as
PID, Description, Serial Number, and Version ID using the show inventory command. Only one passive unit
information can be retrieved in the inventory of the box , if it is connected to the box itself through a cable to
one of the available four USB ports.
The same parameter plus others are also obtainable in the response to SNMP get on “entPhysicalEntity”
objects
