Note No blanks or spaces are permitted as part of a name. Do not expect case to be preserved. Uppercase and lowercase characters look the same to many Internet software applications. It may seem appropriate to capitalize a name the same way you might if you were writing, but conventions dictate that computer names appear all lowercase. For more information, see RFC 1178, Choosing a Name for Your Computer.

Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface

The Management Ethernet interface on the RSPs is used to connect the router to a network for remote management using a Telnet client, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other management agents. The following sections provide information on the Management Ethernet interface:

•Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands, page 3-33

•Viewing the Available Management Ethernet Interfaces, page 3-34

•Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface, page 3-35

Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands

Before you can configure the Management Ethernet interface, you must know the Management Ethernet interface name, which is defined using the following syntax: typerack/slot/module/port. Table 3-6describes the Management Ethernet interface name syntax.

Syntax Components

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type

 

Interface type for a Management Ethernet port is “MgmtEth.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rack

 

Chassis number of the rack. In a single-shelf system, the rack is always

 

 

 

 

 

“0.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

slot

 

Physical slot of the RSP on which the interface is located. For a Cisco ASR

 

 

 

 

 

9000 Series

router, the RSP slot is “RSP0” or “RSP1.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

module

 

On an RSP, the module is “CPU0.” RSPs have two processors, so the

 

 

 

 

 

module is either “CPU0” and “CPU1.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

port

 

On a Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, one Ethernet port labeled MGMT

 

 

 

 

 

ETH exists on each RSP. Specify 0 for the MGMT ETH interface on an

 

 

 

 

 

RSP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table 3-7provides examples of Management Ethernet interface names for a single-shelf system. The

 

 

 

Management Ethernet interfaces are listed with the prefix Mg in the Intf Name column.

A9KMOD80TR, A9K24X10GETR, ASR 9000 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking technology, providing cutting-edge solutions for service providers and enterprise organizations alike. Among their standout products is the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, notably the A9K24X10GETR and the A9KMOD80TR models. These routers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, scalability, and versatility for networks that require high bandwidth and low latency.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built for the needs of today's complex service provider and enterprise networks. A significant feature of the A9K24X10GETR is its 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. This functionality allows for high-density connectivity, making it ideal for aggregating numerous connections to different parts of a network while maintaining optimal performance. Whether used for Internet service providers delivering high-speed connectivity or for enterprises looking to connect multiple branches, the A9K24X10GETR provides robust and reliable data transmission.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the ASR 9000 is the A9KMOD80TR module, which supports an extensive range of services. This module is designed to run a variety of technologies, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and IPv6. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing the advanced features customers demand makes it an invaluable asset for network engineering teams.

Another cutting-edge technology present in the ASR 9000 Series is its support for eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol), which plays a critical role in managing traffic across multiple networks. The routers are equipped with advanced telemetry features, empowering operators with real-time insights into network performance and health. Additionally, they come with integrated security features that protect against DDoS threats and other vulnerabilities.

In summary, Cisco's ASR 9000 Series, particularly the A9K24X10GETR and A9KMOD80TR, combines high-density connections, extensive service support, and advanced security and telemetry capabilities. These routers are perfect for demanding environments where reliable performance and adaptability are crucial. With their focus on innovation and performance, Cisco continues to shape the future of networking technology.
