Chapter 6 Preparing RPM Cards for Operation
Configuring SNMP on the RPM Card
Step 7
Configure the RPM card to store its configuration on the PXM hard disk by entering the boot config
command as follows:
Router>
boot config e:auto_config_
slot#
Note
This step is required. When switchover occurs, the secondary RPM card must be able to load the
configuration from the auto_config file on the PXM hard disk. If this command is already
configured in the startup configuration file, you do not need to repeat this command.
Step 8
Enter the copy run start command on the primary RPM card to save the configuration changes.
Router>
copy run start
Step 9
To display the redundancy relationship between all cards in the switch, enter the dspred command.
For information on managing redundant cards, see the “
” section in
Chapter 9, “Switch Operating Procedures.”
Configuring SNMP on the RPM Card
To configure the SNMP community string on an RPM card, you need to use IOS commands at the router
prompt for the RPM card. The following example shows how to do this.
Step 1
Log in to the RPM card to determine whether the switch interface is active.
Router#
enable
Router>(enable):
show interfaces
Step 2
If the switch interface is not active, enter the config terminal command to activate it. The following
example shows you how to do this.
Router#
config terminal
Router(config)#
int switch 1
Router(config)#
no shut
end
Step 3
Enter the show run command to display the running configuration and verify SNMP information.
Router#
show run
....
....
snmp-server community public RW
snmp-server community private RW
....
....
Step 4
To change the read-write community string, enter the config terminal command. The following example
shows you how to do this.
Router#
config terminal
Router(config)
snmp-server community
POPEYE RW
Step 5
Enter the exit command to get out of config terminal mode.
Router(config)#
exit
