Setting Up Dial-Up Connections
Figure C-6 Hardware Required for Dial-up Connections on a PXM-UI-S3/B Back Card
Before you can manage the switch using the dial-up interface, you must first assign an IP address to the
maintenance port on the switch. This maintenance port is located on the PXM back card. For more
information on physically connecting a modem to the maintenance port, refer to the Cisco MGX
8800/8900 Series Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 - 5.1.
To configure an IP address on the switch maintenance port, use the following procedure.
Step 1 Establish a CLI management session using a username with SUPER_GP privileges. The default user
name and password for this level are superuser, <superuser>.
Step 2 Verify that the IP address is not already configured by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspipif sl0
Note If you omit the sl0 option, the switch displays the configuration for all switch IP interfaces: the
ATM interface (atm0), the PXM LAN port interface (lnPci0), and the PXM maintenance port
interface (sl0). Note that the address for each interface must be unique.
In the IP Interface Configuration Table, look for an Internet address entry under the sl0 entry. (You may
need to press Enter to see this.) If an IP address is configured, you can use that address and skip the rest
of this procedure. However, if the address has not been entered or is incompatible with your network,
you must configure a valid IP address as described in the next step.
Step 3 To set the IP address for the maintenance port, enter the ipifconfig command using the following format:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> ipifconfig sl0 <IP_Addr> <netmask Mask>
Replace <IP_Addr> with the IP address you want this port to use, and replace <Mask> with the network
mask used on this network.
