Provisioning the BPX Switch
Once the software has successfully booted up, the display (a terminal connected to the control port or an
NMS workstation connected via a telnet session to the LAN port) shows the following software screen
example:
pubsbpx1 TN No User BPX 15 9.2 Nov. 21 1998 14:15 PST
Enter User ID:
At this point, you may login as a user to the node.
Provisioning the BPX Switch
Provisioning is the general term for configuring ports, lines, trunks, and adding connections to the BPX
Switch.
Up to this point, you have used the command line interface (CLI) to perform the installation and
power-up. You could use the CLI to perform provisioning also.
However, that is a time-consuming approach for most general provisioning tasks. It is recommended that
you use Cisco Network Management, such as the Cisco WAN Manager Workstation and the Cisco
graphical WAN Manager and CiscoView applications to configure ports, lines, trunks, and visually
interconnect the BPX to your network topology.
For set-up and configuration procedures for Cisco Network Management, see Chapter 20, “Configuring
Network Management.”
For configuration procedures for the BPX switch, see Chapter 17, “Initial BPX 8600 Node
Configuration.”
