Chapter 15 Connecting Temporary Terminal and Attaching Peripherals
Temporarily Connecting a Terminal or NMS to the Control Port
•
For the pin assignments for the BPX switch control terminal port, see Chapter 32, BPX Switch
Cabling Summary.
•
For instructions on using the switch commands, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command
Reference.
•
For instructions on using the Cisco WAN Manager workstation, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager
Operations Manual.
Temporarily Connecting a Terminal or NMS to the Control Port
You will need to connect a basic VT-100 type terminal (or PC or workstation, including a Cisco WAN
Manager workstation) to the BPX’s CONTROL port for use in entering commands to bring up a new
node. This temporary or local control is especially useful during installation, initial power-up, and
configuration.
To support the Cisco WAN Manager workstation, the BPX switch’s LM-BCC back card offers these
ports for attaching peripherals:
•
An RS-232 serial data port labeled CONTROL port
•
An RS-232 serial data port labeled AUXILIARY port
•
An Ethernet port labeled LAN
A Cisco WAN Manager workstation is recommended for managing a network containing the IGX and
BPX switches. Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operation Manual and Cisco WAN Manager
Installation Manual for setup instructions and specifications for the Cisco WAN Manager network
management system, which is required to provide network alarm, control, and statistics monitoring.
Note
For network management, a Cisco WAN Manager workstation must be connected to the
LAN port of one or more network nodes, typically BPX switches because of their
processing power, to provide network management.
It is not connected to the Control Port during normal operation.
Refer to Table 15-1 for configuration data for the BPX CONTROL port.
