Configuring the AIC
Cisco IOS commands are used for configuring the AIC IP address and the IP routing to the AIC NM.
After the IP address and the IP routing are set, alarm configurations can then be set up with either TL1
or the AIC command-line interface. See the“Configuring the NOC IP Address” section on page 3-40 or
the “Configuring Alarms” section on page 3-41 for more information.
The following sections describe how to configure the AIC IP address and the IP Routing to the AIC NM.
Entering Alarm Configuration Mode and Configuring the AIC IP Address
Enter alarm configuration mode and configure the AIC IP address, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Table 3-9 Configuring IP Routing to the AIC with an Unnumbered IP Address
Configuring the IP Route to the AIC
There are many ways to configure IP routing to the AIC. Below are two methods. The first method,
shown in Table 3-10, uses an unnumbered IP address. It is used when an administrator wants to assign
an IP address that is already known to the router, such as an address that is one of the addresses in the
subnet of a FastEthernet IP address.
The second method, shown in Table 3-11, does not use an unnumbered IP address and is used when there
is a subnet available to the serial interface and to the AIC. Usually this subnet is small with a subnet
mask such as 255.255.255.252.
Configure IP routing to the AIC, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# show run
Determines if the AIC is installed correctly in the
router. If the AIC has been installed correctly, then
the following appears:
interface serialslot/port
where the slot is the slot in which the AIC is
inserted, and the port is 0.
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Starts the configuration session.
Step 3
Router(config)# alarm-interface slot
Enters the AIC interface mode, specifying the slot
number into which the AIC is installed.
Step 4
Router(config-aic)# ip address ip-address mask
Enters the IP address of the AIC. Entering a mask
is optional, because the IP address does not use a
subnet address.
Step 5
Router(config-aic)# reset
Resets the AIC. Changing the IP configuration
may not take until the next time the card is started.
The reset command restarts the card.
Step 6
Router(config-aic)# exit
Exits the AIC interface mode.
