Chapter3 Bringing Up the Cisco IOS XR Software on a Multishelf System
Configuring the External Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switches
Example: Single-FCC Multishelf System Configuration
Note When configuring the Catalyst 6509 switches, the difference between configuring single-, two-, an d
four-FCC multishelf systems is the number of interfaces that require configuration. When additional
FCCs are present, additional interfaces must be configured for the connections to those FCCs.
First Catalyst Switch Configuration:
CAT6k-1# configure
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree portfast default
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mode mst
CAT6k-1(config)# no spanning-tree optimize bpdu transmission
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst configuration
CAT6k-1(config-mst)# name STP_1
CAT6k-1(config-mst)# revision 1
CAT6k-1(config-mst)# instance 1 vlan 1
CAT6k-1(config-mst)# end
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst hello-time 1
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst forward-time 6
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst max-age 8
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst max-hops 4
CAT6k-1(config)# spanning-tree mst 0-1 priority 0
CAT6k-1(config)# udld aggressive
CAT6k-1(config)# udld message time 7
CAT6k-1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
CAT6k-1(config-if)# switchport
CAT6k-1(config-if)# switchport mode access
CAT6k-1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 1
CAT6k-1(config-if)# end
Second Catalyst Switch Configuration:
CAT6k-2# configure
CAT6k-2(config)# spanning-tree portfast default
CAT6k-2(config)# spanning-tree mode mst
CAT6k-2(config)# no spanning-tree optimize bpdu transmission
CAT6k-2(config)# spanning-tree mst configuration
CAT6k-2(config-mst)# name STP_1
Step19 switchport access vlan 1
Example:
router(config-if)# switchport access vlan 1
(Optional) Assigns ports to VLAN 1, which is the
default selection.
Step20 end
Example:
router(config-if)# end
Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global
configuration mode.
Step21 Repeat Step 16 through Step 20 for all interfaces. Configures remaining interfaces.
Repeat this configuration for each port, including
ports that are not currently being used (for example,
interface gigabitethernet 0/1).
Step22 Repeat all steps for the second switch. Configures a second switch for redundancy.
