Where to Go Next
After the RPM card is initialized and any required redundancy is established, you can configure the RPM
card to operate in either of the following roles:
•
Label Switch Controller (LSC)
•
Label Edge Router (LER)
Note
RPM operation as an LSC is supported only on Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45) and Cisco MGX 8950
switches. If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) or a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, the RPM
card can only operate as an LER.
When operating in the LER role, the RPM card can use Ethernet connections on the RPM back cards to
connect to IP networks. The LSC and LER roles, and the RPM Ethernet connections, are all defined
using Cisco IOS commands, which run on the RPM card. To start using Cisco IOS from a switch CLI
session, enter the cc command to change cards to the RPM slot.
For instructions on configuring the RPM-PR card with Cisco IOS commands, refer to the Cisco MGX
Route Processor Module (RPM-PR) Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 2.1. For instructions
on configuring the RPM-XF card with Cisco IOS commands, refer to the Cisco MGX Route Processor
Module (RPM-XF) Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.
