Task 6: Configure the Switch Type

You must configure the switch type using the information collected in Task 1

before connecting the network cables to the WAN ports. To configure the switch

type:

1. After the RAC boots, enter cli at the console monitor prompt. (If you are

configuring a 5399, connect to the slot the 5399 is installed in using the

Slot Selection menu before entering the

cli command.)

2. Enter admin as follows:

annex: su

Password:

Annex# admin

Using the set wan command, enter the switch type. The example below

shows how you set the switch for AT9. Enter the switch type from the

telco information. (For more information about switch types, refer to

Provisioning WAN Lines for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access

Switches.)

admin: set wan=1 switch_type AT9

You may need to reset the appropriate port,

Annex subsystem or reboot the Annex for changes

to take effect.

This sets the switch type for interface 1 to AT9. To specify WAN

2, enter wan=2; for both WANs, enter wan=all

Note: The default password is the RAC’s IP address.
