Equipment and Resource Provisioning
This chapter describes the commands that let you activate, configure, display, and delete resources at
various levels of the switch. These levels are :
•Node
•Card
•Line
•Port
The MGX 8850 node uses the concept of a bay. The bay refers to the back card position. The T3/E3,
OC-3, and OC-12 versions of the ATM Switching Service Module (AXSM) can have two back cards,
one in bay 1 (upper slot) and th e sec ond i n bay 2 (l o wer slo t). T h e MGX-AXSM- 1-2 488 (O C-48 AXS M)
can have a back card in bay 1 only. For further descriptions and illustrations of the card sets, refer to
Cisco MGX 8850 Hardware Installation Guide.
Position-Dependent and Keyword-Driven Parameters
A command can include param ete rs that are keyword-driven or position-dependent.
For position-dependent parameters, you must type parameters in the order they appear in the syntax
description or on-line help. To create a logical port, for example, the po sit io n-d ep en de nt syntax is:
addport <ifNum> <bay.line> <guaranteedRate> <maxrate> <sctID> <ifType> [vpi]
For a keyword-driven parameter, a keyword must pr ecede the value. The keyword is preceded by a dash
and followed by the p arameter (–timeout <secs>, for example ). The order that you ente r keyword-driven
parameters does not matter—although any preceding or succeeding, posi ti on - de pendent parameter s
must appear as they do in the com m an d syn ta x de sc rip ti on .
In the following syntax example, th e co mm and is to delete more than one c on n ect io n at a t ime. The
mandatory, position-dependent connection identifier consist of a logical port (ifNum) and the VPI and
VCI of the first connection t o de let e . A ft er th e co nn ec tion identifier, the line shows two o pt io na l,
keyword-driven parameters. These keyword-driven parameters let you enter the number of connections
to delete and specify verb os e m o d e :
delcons <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num <num. conns to del>] [-verbose < 1 | 0 >]
