Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface

Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface

The Fast Ethernet interface, or NME, on the active CPU switch module, named fastethernet 0, is the management interface that allows multiple, simultaneous Telnet or SNMP network management sessions.

You can remotely configure the Cisco ONS 15530 through the Fast Ethernet interface, but first you must configure an IP address so that the active CPU switch module is reachable. You can configure the NME interface two ways: manually from the CLI or by copying the configuration from the BOOTP server into

NVRAM.

For information on configuring the NME interface on the standby CPU switch module, fastethernet-sby 0, see the “Booting from a TFTP Server” section on page 13-6 .

Note Before you begin to manually configure an NME interface, obtain its IP address and IP subnet mask. Also make sure the console cable is connected to the console port.

To configure IP access on the NME port fastethernet 0 from the CLI, perform these steps from the console interface:

		Command		Purpose
	Step 1
		Switch> enable		Enters privileged EXEC mode.
		Switch#
	Step 2
		Switch#	show hardware	Verifies the installed hardware part numbers and serial
				numbers.
	Step 3
		Switch#	configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
		Switch(config)#
	Step 4
		Switch(config)# enable password [level		Sets the enable password. You can specify one of 16
		level] password		privilege levels, using numbers 0 through 15. Level 1
				is normal EXEC-mode user privileges. The default
				level is 15 (traditional enable privileges).
	Step 5
		Switch(config)# enable secret [level level]		Specifies an enable secret password. You can specify
		password		one of 16 privilege levels, using numbers 0 through 15.
				Level 1 is normal EXEC-mode user privileges. The
				default level is 15 (traditional enable privileges).
	Step 6 Switch(config)# privilege mode {level level			Configures or resets the privilege level to allow access
		reset} command-string		to a specific command.
				Note Configure the password for a privilege level
				defined using the privilege command with the
				enable secret command.
	Step 7
		Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0		Enters interface configuration mode on interface
		Switch(config-if)#		fastethernet 0, the NME port on the active CPU switch
				module.
	Step 8
		Switch(config-if)# ip address ip-address		Specifies the IP address and IP subnet mask for the
		subnet-mask		management port interface.
	Step 9
		Switch(config-if)# speed {10 100 auto}		Specifies the transmission speed. The default is auto
				(autonegotiation).
