Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration
Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005
Chapter 6 Installation Overview
Lines, Trunks, and Connection Configuration
When you have connected and configured the network management terminal and software, you are ready
to configure the BPX switch. Configuration procedures are provided in Part 4
, “Configuring
Connections” .
Lines, Trunks, and Connection Configuration
In many cases, you can add and configure lines and trunks by using the Cisco WAN Manager, which
provides a graphical interface that is most convenient for configuring connections. In certain other cases,
however (and particularly during the initial setup before you have configured network management) you
will need to use the command line interface (CLI).
For example, to add an ATM connection, you might use the following CLI command:
addcon local_addr node remote_addr traffic type ...extended parameters
Other initial configuration must be performed by using the command line interface:
•
Configure node name
• Configure time zone
•
Configure date and time
• Configure node number
For additional information about the CLI and complete details on all its commands, refer to the
Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference .
