MGX 8220 in Stand-alone
Applications
A stand-alone application is defined as one in which the MGX 8220 shelf is connected to some
device (router or ATM switch) other than a BPX 8620.
The interface between MGX 8220 shelf and the connected device must be ATM UNI/NNI over
either T3, E3, nxT1, nxE1, OC-3c as shown in Figure6-1.
Figure6-1 MGX 8220 Stand-alone Configuration
This chapter provides guidance in those areas of configuration that are peculiar to the stand-alone
configurations. In general, these break down into:
• Using the Command Line Interface.
• Disabling the ILMI interface.
• Configuring the BMN ATM interface to the router or ATM switch.
• Setting trap managers.
• Understanding DCLI to VPI/VCI mapping in the MGX 8220 shelf (for purposes of configuring
the router or ATM switch).
• Provisioning frame relay and other channels in the stand-alone MGX 8220 shelf.
This chapter makes considerable reference to the MGX 8220 Command Line Interface commands.
Details of these commands can be found in the Cisco MGX 8220 Command Reference.
Using the Command Line Interface
A stand-alone MGX 8220 shelf cannot be configured from Cisco StrataView Plus and must be
configured using the MGX 8220 Command Line Interface (CLI). This may be achieved either
through an in-band connection over the ATM link, or through one of the out-of-band options
(maintenance, control or Ethernet ports on the ASC).
