Chapter 1 Preparing for Configuration
After your switch is configured and your links are provisioned, you can use this document as a reference
for operational, maintenance, and upgrade procedures.
Keep the following statements in mind as you read this document:
• The generic term “MGX switch” refers to all MGX switches that support Release 5.1 software
(listed in Table 1-3). If a procedure or step is specific to only one or two of the MGX switches, it
will be specified in the text.
• The generic term “PXM” refers to both the PXM45 card and the PXM1E card. If a procedure or step
is specific to only one of the PXMs, it will be specified in the text.
• Throughout this guide, the term PXM45 is a generic term used to refer to PXM45/A, PXM45/B, and
PXM45/C cards.
• On MGX switches, the PXM card is the controller card that controls the other cards on the switch.
The other cards on the switch are called service modules.
• Throughout this guide, the term AXSM is used to refer to all the AXSM cards. If a procedure or
paragraph applies to only a specific AXSM card or specific AXSM cards, it will be specified as such.
The first release of the AXSM cards are labeled “AXSM,” but are often referred to as AXSM/A
cards. The second release of AXSM cards are labeled and called AXSM/B cards. Other AXSM
models include the AXSM-E and AXSM-XG card families.
