Preparing Service Modules for Communication
This chapter describes how to prepare service modules for operation in an MGX switch. All MGX switch
cards except PXM, SRM, XM-60, and RPM are service modules. Service modules add ATM, circuit
emulation and Frame Relay services to a switch.
Table 1-2 in Chapter 1, “Preparing for Configuration,”
lists service module services and the service modules that provide them. This table also lists the
interfaces supported on the service modules.
Tip For information on which slots support each type of service module, see Table 2-9 in Chapter 2,
“Configuring General Switch Features.” For information on the redundancy options for each service
module, refer to the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco
MGX 8880 Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5.
The procedures in this chapter help you complete the initial configuration required for each service
module. After the initial configuration is complete, the card is ready for provisioning. Provisioning is
described in the configuration and command reference guide for each service module.
Table 1-1 in
Chapter 1, “Preparing for Configuration,” lists the service module configuration and command reference
guides.
The following sections provide a quickstart procedure for configuring service modules and describe the
following procedures:
• Managing Firmware Version Levels for Service Modules
•
Establishing Redundancy Between Two Service Modules
• Selecting a Card SCT
•
Selecting a Port SCT
Note
The Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880
Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5, describes the physical planning requirements for
installing redundant service modules with standalone or redundant lines. If these requirements are not
met, the planned service module configuration will not work properly.
Note For the purposes of this document, the term “AXSM” refers to all types of AXSM cards. In this
document, the term AXSM/A distinguishes the first release of AXSM from AXSM/B, AXSME, and
AXSM-XG cards.
