Chapter 3 Initial Configuration of the ML-Series Card

Cisco IOS on the ML-Series Card

Step 1 Obtain the node IP address from the IP Addr field shown at the CTC node view (Figure 3-1).

Node IP address

134411

Step 2 If you are telnetting into an ONS 15310-CL with an ML-Series card, use the IP address and the port number 2001 as the Telnet address in your preferred communication program. For example with the IP address of 10.92.18.124 on the ONS 15310-CL in the example, you would enter or telnet 10.92.18.124 2001. The slot number is always 1 for the ONS 15310-CL.

Step 3 If you are telnetting into an ONS 15310-MA with an ML-Series card, use the IP address and the port number (2000 plus the slot number) as the Telnet address in your preferred communication program. For example, with an IP address of 10.92.18.125 on an ONS 15310-CL with an ML-Series card in slot 5, you would enter or telnet to 10.92.18.125 2005. .

Telnetting to a Management Port

Users can access the ML-Series through a standard Cisco IOS management port in the same manner as other Cisco IOS platforms. For further details about configuring ports and lines for management access, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

As a security measure, the vty lines used for Telnet access are not fully configured. In order to gain Telnet access to the ML-Series card, you must configure the vty lines via the serial console connection or preload a startup-configuration file that configures the vty lines. A port on the ML-Series must first be configured as the management port; see the “Configuring the Management Port” section on page 3-6or the “Loading a Cisco IOS Startup Configuration File Through CTC” section on page 3-8.

15310-CL, 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
