Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface

Note No blanks or spaces are permitted as part of a name. Do not expect case to be preserved. Upper- 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 RPs is used to connect the router to a network for remote management using a Telnet client, the Craft Works Interface (CWI), 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 4-39

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 4-6describes the Management Ethernet interface name syntax.

Table 4-6 Management Ethernet Interface Name Syntax Description

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.” In a multishelf system, the LCC rack number range is 0
	to 255.
slot	Physical slot of the RP or DRP on which the interface is located. For
	a Cisco CRS-1 router, the RP slot is “RP0” or “RP1,” and the DRP
	slot is a number in the range of 0 to 3 (4-slot chassis), 0 to 7 (8-slot
	chassis), or 0 to 15 (16-slot chassis). For a
	Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, the PRPs may be installed in slots 0
	through 15, depending on the router model.
module	On an RP, the module is “CPU0.” DRPs have two processors, so the
	module is either “CPU0” and “CPU1.”
port	On Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers, there are three Ethernet ports on
	PRP-2 cards. The Ethernet ports are labeled ETH 0, ETH 1, and ETH
	2. For the ETH 0 port, specify 0, for the ETH 1 port, specify 1, and
	for the ETH 2 port, specify 2.
	On a Cisco CRS-1 router, one Ethernet port labeled MGMT ETH
	exists on each RP, and one port exists for each DRP processor.
	Specify 0 for the MGMT ETH interface on an RP or DRP.
