Multishelf System), page 2-16

To validate the 22-port SCGE cards, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Insert the 22-port SCGE card into the standby slot (SC-GE-2) of FCC. Remove the 2-port card that is

already installed.

Step 2 Use the show platform command in EXEC mode or administration EXEC mode to verify that the

22-port SCGE card is in the IOS XR RUN state.

Step 3 Use the show redundancy command in EXEC mode to verify that the standby node is ready.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 for all eight 22-port SCGE cards. Verify the two per fabric chassis by using the

standby slot and leaving the second 22-port SCGE in the standby sl ot to continue with the upgrade.

To connect the standby 22-port SCGE to an active Cat6K and connect the 22-port SCGEs to each other

in a full mesh configuration, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Connect one port of the standby 22-port SCGE in each fabric chassis to the active Cat6K. Enable STP

and portfast on these ports from the Cisco Catalyst 65xx switch side. If there are not enough ports on the

active Cat6K, use the ports that were previously connected to the standby SCs in the four fabric chassis.

Step 2 Connect the ports to each other in a full mesh configuration for the 22-port SCGE.

Step 3 Use the show controller switch inter-rack stp command in administration EXEC mode, with the

location keyword, to verify that all the new connections and ports are working correctly.

Step 4 Use the show controllers switch inter-rack udld command in administration EXEC mode, with the all

and location keywords, to verify that all the ports for the 22-port SCGE are connected to the active

Cat6K in the forwarding state.

The node-id argument is the location of the 22- port SCGE cards.
