Connecting GigaVUE-HC3 Module Ports
Connecting network and tool ports on GigaVUE-HC3 modules is generally as simple
as connecting a cable between the source/destination device and the GigaVUE-HC3
module port. You just need to make sure that the modules and ports on the
GigaVUE-HC3 node are enabled and their parameters are configured correctly. Refer
to the following sections for details:
• Enabling Modules and Ports on page 77 – Make sure that the modules and ports
you want to use are enabled. Newly installed modules must be configured with the
card command and their ports enabled with port <port-list> params admin
enable .
• Setting Port Parameters Manually on page 79 – If both ends of the connection are
using autonegotiation, no manual configuration is typically necessary. However, if
autonegotiation is not used (or is not successful), you can use these instructions to
configure port parameters manually.
Enabling Modules and Ports
Use the following procedure to ensure that all modules are configured and ports
enabled:
1.
Connect to console port as described in Access the Command-Line Interface over
the Console Port on page 69 .
2.
Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears and then switch to
Configure mode.
