Configuring the MGX RPM-PR

This chapter describes how to complete a basic configuration of the MGX Route Processor Module (RPM-PR). It provides procedures for configuring ATM, Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet interfaces, as well as, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). It also details how to make connections between an RPM-PR and

aPXM-45 and between other service modules or other RPM-PRs. The chapter contains the following sections:

•Accessing the RPM-PR Command Line Interface

•Booting the RPM-PR

•Verifying the Configuration

•Establishing 1:N Redundancy Between Two or More RPM-PR Cards

This chapter provides information necessary to get the RPM-PR up and running. Detailed command information is available in the Cisco IOS command reference publications.

Note The back cards used in conjunction with the RPM-PR are equivalent to port adapters in Cisco routers.

Accessing the RPM-PR Command Line Interface

To configure the RPM-PR, you must access the command line interface (CLI) of the RPM-PR.

The RPM-PR CLI can be accessed using any of the following methods:

•Console port on the front of the RPM-PR

The RPM-PR has an RJ-45 connector on the front of the card module. If you configure the RPM-PR on site, connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) directly to the console port on your RPM-PR using an RS-232 to RJ-45 rollover cable for CLI access (see Chapter 3, “Installing the MGX RPM-PR”).

•cc from another MGX 8850 or MGX 8950 card

After initial configuration, you can also configure the RPM-PR through the PXM-45. You access the RPM-PR CLI by entering the cc (change card) command from any of the other cards in the switch.

•Telnet from a workstation, PC, or another router

After initial configuration, you can also configure the RPM-PR remotely via Telnet. After the RPM-PR is installed and has PVCs to other RPM-PRs or routers in the network, you can Telnet to access the RPM-PR CLI remotely from these other devices.
