Basic LS2020 Configuration Tasks

As with chassis information, if you answer N to the port confirmation prompt, you will be prompted to re-enter all the trunk port information, beginning with the “ Trunk Card Type.”

If you answer Y, you will be queried if you want to configure an additional trunk, as shown below:

Configure additional trunk port information (Y/N)? [N] Y

If you respond Y to this query, repeat this procedure to configure additional trunk ports.

If you respond N to this query, the system responds with the following message:

Creating minimum configuration database...done.

A trunk configuration CLI script has been written to /tmp/trunkconfig.cli

The message means that the system has created a minimum LS2020 configuration. It also signifies that the system is loading the line cards, starting the LS2020 platform software, and starting the neighborhood discovery process.

At this point, the login prompt appears. You can then continue with Step 7.

Step 7 If you have previously configured trunk port information as part of the basic configuration procedure, you must apply that information to the platform software.

Note To apply trunk port information to the platform software, you must first wait for the line cards (which incorporate the trunk ports you need to configure) to come up. A line card is signaled as being up when the NDD_3 trap for that card appears on the console, as shown in the example below.

(OPER) NDD_3 at 03/05/96 10:56:04 EDT (03/05/96 14:54:04 GMT) Line Card ls2020:5 (MS-TR) up.

Next, log in to the system and start the CLI using the oper or npadmin account, as shown in the example below:

user name: npadmin

password: <password> Return

When you log into the oper or npadmin account, the CLI starts automatically, first presenting the CLI banner on the console and then the CLI prompt, as shown in the example below:

cli: (ls_main) compiled Mar 05 1996 @ 03:45:21 Copyright 1996. Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. cli>

When the CLI prompt appears, enter the CLI protected mode, as shown below:

cli> protected

Enter Password: <password> Return

*cli>

Next, invoke the CLI configuration trunk script using the source command, as shown below:

*cli> source “/tmp/trunkconfig.cli”

This command applies the trunk configuration to the trunk ports you have configured. Note that additional traps may be generated at this time to signal the changes in the status of the trunk ports. Such trap messages are normal.
