7-32 Cisco MGX 8220 Reference, Release 4.1
Initial Start-up of the MGX 8220 Shelf
4 T1, E1, and T3 cables are installed.
5 Control console is connected.
To apply power to a DC system, press the BLACK button on each of the power entry modules until
they latch in the IN position. To apply power to an AC system, switch the circuit breakers on the rear
of the power module to the ON position.
The LEDs on the front cards may flash for a few moments while the shelf performs a self-test and
then settle down to Active or Standby.
When power is applied and the LEDs have stabilized:
• Press the HIST button on the BNM to clear the HIST LED.
• Issue a clrallcnf (clear all configuration) command to each card set in the shelf. Chapter 4,
“MGX 8220 Service Modules”, provides details of this command.
Initial Configuration
Before the MGX 8220 shelf can receive commands, SNMP requests, file downloads, and so on, the
shelf must be assigned IP addresses for the Control port, the LAN port, and the in-band channel. This
procedure requires a alpha-numeric terminal to be connected to the Maintenance port of the active
ASC card and addresses assigned through the command line interface. Refer to the Cisco MGX 8220
Command Reference for details on how to login and use the specific commands.
Carry out the following procedures:
1 Press the RETURN key to indicate the presence of your terminal to the shelf. The login prompt
will appear.
2 Login to the active ASC card by typing your account, your password, and the ASCs slot number.
3 Configure the IP address for each port (control, LAN and in-band) in turn using the cnfifip
command. (See Chapter 3, “Managing the MGX 8220 Shelf”, for more details.)
The cnfifip command is entered in the format cnfifip -ip <ip address> -if <interface type> -msk
<subnet mask address> -bc <broadcast address> where <ip address> specifies an IP address
for the destination in dotted decimal format, <interface type> is specified as 28 for the control
port and 37 for the in-band port and 26 for the LAN port, <subnet mask address> and <broadcast
address> specify the mask and broadcast addresses in dotted decimal format.
4 While you are using the terminal, you may wish to assign a nodename for the shelf using the
cnfname command.
NoteIf you type any command mnemonic and press RETURN, the screen will display the syntax
for that command. The command with the correct parameters can then be entered.
5 Logout.
Once the IP addresses have been assigned, the shelf can be managed from StrataView Plus.
