Basic LS2020 Configuration Tasks

Note This procedure assumes that you have already attached a terminal to the Release 2 switch card, as described in the preceding section entitled “Attaching a Terminal and Matching the Baud Rate.”

Step 1 Issue the following command at the TCS hub prompt to reset the NP to a running state:

TCS hub<<A>> reset 1

Step 2 Issue the following command at the TCS hub prompt to connect to the NP that you want to conﬁgure:

TCS hub<<A>> connect 1

Step 3 When you connect to the NP, part or all of the following countdown sequence is displayed on your screen. Do not press Return; allow the boot sequence to continue.

System will boot in 5 seconds: hit <RETURN> to interrupt.

System will boot in 4 seconds: hit <RETURN> to interrupt.

System will boot in 3 seconds: hit <RETURN> to interrupt.

System will boot in 2 seconds: hit <RETURN> to interrupt.

System will boot in 1 seconds: hit <RETURN> to interrupt.

The screen displays for the boot sequence then continue as shown in Step 1 in the section “Entering Conﬁguration Data” later in this chapter. However, before proceeding with the entry of required conﬁguration data, note the following special consideration about running conﬁguration scripts.

Special Consideration: Running Scripts Separately

When you enter conﬁguration data, two scripts are invoked automatically that prompt you for basic conﬁguration information (see bullets below). If you make a mistake entering information in response to script prompts, you can run the scripts again separately. To do so, enter the name of the script you want to run at the bash# (root) prompt or the single-user ($) prompt.

•bin/settimezoneinfo—Sets the time, date, daylight savings method, and time zone.

•usr/app/base/bin/setsnmpconﬁg —Sets the host name, the IP address, the Ethernet IP address, and the default router IP address. Also sets up trunk ports so that a complete conﬁguration can be downloaded from the NMS to a target LS2020 node.

Note These conﬁguration scripts are intended for use only during the installation process.

When you run these scripts from the command line, they behave very much as they do in the scripted conﬁguration procedure. However, one difference to note is that the setsnmpconﬁg command checks for the presence of conﬁguration ﬁles. (Normally, these ﬁles are not present during a typical installation of a new LS2020 switch.) If the system ﬁnds such ﬁles, it asks if you want to continue, as shown below:

Configuration information already exists. If you continue, the configuration information on this network node will be destroyed by overwriting the following files:

/usr/app/base/config/configure.netdb

/usr/app/base/config/mma.db.dir

/usr/app/base/config/mma.db.pag Continue? (y/n) [n]
