Configuring and Managing Cisco Access Servers and Dial Shelves
How to Configure Dial Shelves
DC-122
Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Configuration Guide
The normal mode configuration of the Cisco AS5800 requires the dial shelf and router shelf IDs to be
different. In a split system, four unique shelf IDs are desirable, one for each router shelf and one for each
of the slot sets; however, a split system will function satisfactorily if the router shelf IDs are the same.
If a system controller is used to manage a split dial shelf configuration, the two routers must have distinct
shelf IDs, just as they must when each router has its own dial shelf.
You can download software configurations to any Cisco AS5800 using SNMP or a Telnet connection.
The system controller also provides performance monitoring and accounting data collection and logging.
In addition to the system controller, a network management system with a graphical user interface (GUI)
runs on a UNIX SPARC station and includes a database management system, polling engine, trap
management, and map integration.
To manage a split dial shelf, enter the following commands in EXEC mode as needed:
Executing Commands Remotely
Although not recommended, it is possible to connect directly to the system console interface in the DSC
to execute dial shelf configuration commands. All commands necessary for dial shelf configuration, and
show, and debug command tasks can be executed remotely from the router console. A special command,
execute-on, is provided for this purpose. This command enables a special set of EXEC mode commands
to be executed on the router or the dial shelf. This command is a convenience that avoids connecting the
console to the DSC. For a list of commands you can execute using execute-on, refer to the command
description in the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference.
To enter a command that you wish to execute on a specific card installed in the dial shelf while logged
onto the router shelf console, use the following commands in privileged EXEC mode as needed:
Command Purpose
Router# show dial-shelf split
Displays the slots assigned to each of the router shelves and the
corresponding feature boards in ‘orphan’ slots (slots not
currently assigned to either router).
Router# show dial-shelf
Displays information about the dial shelf, including clocking
information.
Router# show context
Displays information about the dial shelf, including clocking
information, but works only for owned slots. Use show context all
to display all the information available about any slot. This is
intended to cover the case where ownership of a feature board is
moved from one router shelf to the other after a crash.
Command Purpose
Router# execute-on slot slot command
Executes a command from the router shelf on a specific slot in
the dial shelf.
Router# execute-on all command
Executes a command from the router shelf on all cards in the dial
shelf.
