Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration
Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005
Chapter 20 Configuring Network Management
Configuring the LAN Port
Step 4
Enter the following IP Relay subnet mask in the
/etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc
file:
vi /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc
/usr/sbin/route add “224.0.0.0 ...................{this is already there
# route add for Cisco WAN Manager
route add net 204.179.55.0 204.179.61.104 1
Note The routeAdd command sets up the route for all nodes in the 204.179.55.0 IP relay subnetwork. In
this example, the name “nw1bpx1p” is the name in the /etc/hosts table associated with the physical
LAN port IP of 204.179.61.104 on the gateway node, such as, “nw1bpx1”. In steps 2 and 3, either
the name “nw1bpx1p” or the IP of “204.179.61.104” can be entered.
Configuring the LAN Port
For instructions on configuring the Cisco WAN Manager workstation, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager
User’s Guide. For command definitions, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference .
Note Configure the LAN parameters of the nodes before connecting them to a LAN.
To configure the LAN port, use the following procedure:
Step 1
Contact your System Administrator to obtain IP addresses for your workstation and for the BPX/IGX
switches you are going to configure. Also, access to the NIS directories should be disabled so that the
workstation will consult the /etc/hosts table for IP LAN relay addresses.
Normally, the System Administrator will provide the IP addresses for the workstation and node.
The addresses shown are just examples. Use the addresses obtained from your System Administrator.
(This example is for a workstation named “hedgehog” at address 192.187.207.200. It also assumes that
the BPX or IGX switch LAN port for node sanfran has been assigned an IP address of 192.187.210.30
and a host name of sanfran. Your own host name and addresses are different.)
192.187.207.200 hedgehog
192.187.210.30 sanfran
Note If an NIS is being used (such as, corporate network), contact the system administrator.
Note
5120 is used for the LAN ports on all BPX switch ports.
Step 2
Configure the LAN port on the BPX switch by using a dumb terminal or an RS-232 connection via the
workstation (using the
vt command, as applicable) to enter the appropriate cnflan parameters.
The cnflan command configures the node’s communication parameters so that the node can
communicate with a Cisco WAN Manager terminal over an Ethernet LAN using the TCP/IP protocol.
The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect
the Cisco WAN Manager station to an IGX or BPX switch. The values used must conform to those of
the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
