Configuring the BPX Switch for SVCs

Configuring the BPX Switch for SVCs

During the configuration of BPX switch interfaces, you must make sure that the BPX switch IP address, SNMP parameters, and Network IP address are set consistent with your local area network (Ethernet LAN). Use the following BPX switch commands to set these parameters:

• cnflan—This is a Super User level command and must be used to configure the BPX switch BCC LAN port IP address and subnet mask.

• cnfsnmp—This command is used to configure the SNMP Get and Set community strings for the BPX switch as follows:

— Get Community String = public

— Set Community String = private

— Trap Community String = public.

• cnfnwip—This is a Super User level command which is used to configure the virtual IP network (IP relay) among BPX switches.

• cnfstatmast—This command is used to define the IP address for routing messages to and from the Statistics Manager in Cisco StrataView Plus.

The use of these commands is covered in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference or the Cisco WAN Switching Super User Command Reference. Super User commands must be used only by authorized personnel, and must be used carefully.
