To display the configured chassis serial numbers in administration EXEC mode, see Cisco IOS XR System Management Configuration Guide, Release 3.4.

To display the chassis serial numbers in ROM Monitor, see Cisco IOS XR ROM Monitor Guide.

See the “Bringing Up and Configuring Rack 0” section on page 3-28for complete instructions to bring up a new router and configure the rack numbers.

Configuring the External Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switches

The control Ethernet network is formed by interconnecting each RP and shelf controller Gigabit Ethernet (SCGE) card in the system through two external Catalyst switches. (The SCGE card is the control card in an FCC.) The Catalyst switches are also directly connected using one or more Gigabit Ethernet links (see Figure 3-4).

These Catalyst switches must also be configured for operation with the Cisco CRS-1 multishelf router. This section includes instructions to configure and verify the Catalyst switches using the Cisco IOS software. For instructions to install and cable the Catalyst switches, see CRS-1 Multishelf System Interconnection and Cabling Guide.
