Cisco MGX 8230 Edge Concentrator Installation and Configuration
Release 1.1.31, Part Number 78-11215-03 Rev. B0, May 2001
Chapter 5 Configuring the MGX 8230 Shelf
MGX 8230 MGX to BPX Feeder
An example command for downloading specific firmware for an FRSM-2CT3 in slot 3 is:
>put frsm2ct3_10.0.01.fw POPEYE@SM_1_3.FW
where “frsm2ct3_10.0.0” refers to the firmware for the FRSM-2CT3, and “3” is the slot.
Note
See the Release Notes for current names of firmware files and release directories.
Step 4
When you have finished downloading firmware, enter quit to quit the tftp application.
Step 5
At the CLI on either the workstation or the ACSII terminal, display the firmware files. Note that the
directory specification ll c:/FW has no quote marks.
cisco22.1.1.PXM.a> ll c:/FW
Step 6
If you want to download the firmware from the disk to a card, execute resetcd.
MGX 8230 CLI Configuration of a Feeder
This section first describes how to use the CLI to configure physical and logical characteristics of the
equipment, such as physical line, logical ports, and resource partitioning. The section then describes how
to add daxcons and three-segment connections. To do these tasks, the requisite IP addresses must have
been assigned. The descriptions tell you how to:
•
Specify that the application of the MGX 8230 is a feeder to a BPX series switch.
•
At the card-level, optionally specify the total number of connections available to each network
controller (PAR, and so on).
•
Activate a line on the broadband interface of the MGX 8230 PXM—only one line for an MGX
feeder.
•
Optionally modify the characteristics of the line.
•
Create one or more logical ports on the line. Each port has associated bandwidth and VPI/VCI
ranges. By default, each controller competes for all the resources you assign to the port.
•
Optionally specify the amount of resources a network controller has on a logical port rather than
allow the controllers to compete for resources.
•
Add the MGX 8230 shelf from the BPX side.
Configuring the OC-3 Uplink
The MGX 8230 PXM uses only an OC-3 uplink back card as a feeder trunk.
Step 1
Execute the cnfswfunc command to specify the feeder application:
cnfswfunc <-vsvd enable(yes)/disable(no)> | <-ndtype>
Follow -ndtype with “fdr” or “routing.” The default application is routing.You can configure one option
each time you execute cnfswfunc.
Step 2
If the MGX 8230 must support the paid feature of virtual source/virtual destination (VSVD) on ABR
connections, execute cnfswfunc. The cnfswfunc syntax is:
cnfswfunc <-vsvd enable(yes)/disable(no)> | <-ndtype>
where you follow “-vsvd” with “e” or “d.”
