Managing the MGX 8220 Shelf 3-7

Setting Up Management Connectivity to the MGX 8220 Shelf

Connecting via the Maintenance Port

1 After setting up and powering up the MGX 8220 shelf (refer to Chapter 5, “Service

Configuration”), a CLI prompt appears on the terminal connected to the maintenance port.

2 Upon successful login, the standard CLI prompt showing the node name assigned to the shelf,

the shelf number, logged in slot number, logged in card type, and status is displayed.

(nodeName.shelf#.slot#.cardType.cardStatus>)

for example:

myshelf.1.6.FRSM.a > (FRSM in slot 6 with active status)

3 At the prompt, CLI commands can be entered.

nodeName.shelf#.slot#.cardType.cardStatus>

Setting Up IP Addresses for Control Port, LAN Port or In-band Access

Before you can access MGX 8220 using the control port, LAN port or in-band virtual connection,

you must configure IP addresses for each of these destinations on the ASC card. To configure IP

addresses, proceed as follows:

1 Establish a CLI connection to the shelf (either over the maintenance port or a port which has

previously been configured with an IP address).

2 At the login: prompt, enter your userID.

3 At the password: prompt, enter your password.

4 At the card number: prompt, enter the slot number (3 or 4) of the ASC card. For example:

card number:3

The following prompt appears:

nodeName.shelf#.slot#.cardType.cardStatus>

5 At this prompt, enter a cnfifip command to configure the control port, LAN port or in-band port

IP address.

NoteThe 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 port in dotted decimal format,

<interface type> is specified as 28 for the control port, 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

hexadecimal format.

For the control port and Ethernet port the MGX 8220 shelf is now configured for you to access the

unit via the specified port. In Chapter 3, refer to the following sections, “Connecting via the Control

Port” and “Connecting via the LAN Port” for details. For in-band access, you need a connection

across the network. Refer to the following section in Chapter 3, “Connecting via an In-band

Connection”, for details.
