Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ME 1200 NID
Initial Configuration
Step 4
Check if the Cisco ME1200 NID has been added to UPE NID Controller,
Controller#
show platform nid-controller nids
NID_ID MAC Address IP Address Lease Physical Port VLAN
TFTP Server Type
1 n/a 192.0.2.1 n/a n/a n/a
n/a static
Note
Step 1 to Step 4 are performed so that for the first time, we can access Cisco ME1200 NID through the UPE
NID Controller ME3600 with the default factory IP address Cisco ME1200 NID comes with (192.0.2.1). The
above steps 1 to 4 are mandatory and sufficient to establish the initial connectivity between the UPE NID
Controller and Cisco ME1200 NID.
Below steps are performed in order to configure port as trunk and establish the connectivity on a different
SVI. This also gives the provision to configure default IP route for reachability to various servers.
Note
Prerequisite :
1. UPE NID Controller should be configured with a different VLAN other than VLAN 1.
2. Below configs are assuming UPE NID Controller interface 0/1 is connected to Cisco ME1200 NID
1/1, change the interface configs as applicable.
Step 5
Controller#
configure t
Controller(config)#
interface vlan 2
Controller(config-if)#
ip address 7.6.15.60 255.255.0.0
Step 6
The interface on UPE NID Controller which is connected to Cisco ME1200 NID needs to be configured trunk
with the specified vlan allowed.
Controller#
conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Controller(config)#
interface gigabitEthernet 0/1
Controller(config-if)#
switchport mode trunk
Controller(config-if)#
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2
Step 7
Now, from the UPE NID Controller configure the desired management vlan on Cisco ME1200 NID using
‘provisionportvlantype’ template and assign svi for the desired vlan interface.
Controller#
conf t
Controller(config)#
controller nid 1/1
Controller(config-controller)#
provisionportVlanPortType
Controller(config-controller-ProvisionPortVlanPortType)#
createintVlan
createIntVlanReq vlan_id 2
Controller(config-controller-ProvisionPortVlanPortType)#
createintVlan
createIntVlanReq address ipv4 ipv4_address address 7.6.15.59
Controller(config-controller-ProvisionPortVlanPortType)#
createintVlan
createIntVlanReq address ipv4 ipv4_address mask 255.255.0.0
Controller(config-controller-ProvisionPortVlanPortType)#
createintVlan
commit
Step 8
Now add route using ‘nidmanagemet’ template.
Controller#
conf t
Controller(config)#
controller nid 1/1
