Chapter 3 Initial Configuration of the ML-Series Card
Startup Configuration File
Loading a Cisco IOS Startup Configuration File Through CTC
CTC allows a user to load the startup configuration file required by the ML-Series card. A
Cisco-supplied sample Cisco IOS startup configuration file, named Basic-IOS-startup-config.txt, is
available on the Cisco ONS 15310 software CD. CISCO15 is the Cisco IOS CLI default line password
and the enable password for this configuration. Users can also create their own startup configuration file
(see the “Manually Creating a Startup Configuration File Through the Serial Console Port” section on
page 3-6).
CTC can load a Cisco IOS startup configuration file into the 15310-CL-CTX or C TX 2500 card flash
before the ML-Series card is physically installed in the slot. When installed, the ML-Series card
downloads and applies the Cisco IOS software image and the prelo aded Cisco IOS startup-configuration
file. Preloading the startup configuration file allows an ML -Series card to immediately operate as a fully
configured card when inserted into the ONS 15310.
If the ML-Series card is booted up prior to the loading of the Cisco IOS startup configuration file into
15310-CL-CTX or CTX 2500 card flash, then the ML-Series card must be reset to use the Cisco IOS
startup configuration file or the user can issue the command copy start run at the Cisco IOS CLI to
configure the ML-Series card to use the Cisco IOS startup configuration file.
This procedure details the initial loading of a Cisco IOS Startup Configuration file through CTC.
Step 1 At the card-level view of the ML-Series card, click the IOS tab (Figure 3-1 on page 3-3).
The CTC IOS window appears.
Step 2 Click the IOS startup config button.
The config file dialog box appears.
Step 3 Click the Local -> CTX button.
Step 4 The sample Cisco IOS startup configuration file can be installed from eit her the ONS 15310 software
CD or from a PC or network folder:
• To install the Cisco supplied startup config file from the ONS 15310 software CD, insert the CD into
the CD drive of the PC or workstation. Using the CTC config file dialog box, navigate to the CD
drive of the PC or workstation, and double-click the Basic-IOS-startup-config.txt file.
• To install the Cisco supplied config file from a PC or network folder, navigate to the folder
containing the desired Cisco IOS startup config file and double-click the desired Cisco IOS startup
config file.
Step 5 At the Are you sure? dialog box, click the Ye s button.
The Directory and Filename fields on the configuration file dialog update to reflect that the Cisco IOS
startup config file is loaded onto the 15310-CL-CTX.
Step 6 Load the Cisco IOS startup config file from the 15310-CL-CTX to the ML-Series card:
a. If the ML-Series card has already been installed, right-click on the ML-Series card at the node-level
or card-level CTC view and select Soft-reset.
After the reset, the ML-Series card runs under the newly loaded Cisco IOS startup configuration.
b. If the ML-Series card is not yet installed, installing the ML-Series card into the slot loads and runs
the newly loaded Cisco IOS startup configuration on the ML-Series card.
Caution A soft reset or a hard reset on the ONS 15310 ML-Series card is service-affecting.
