CWM Out-of-Band Management for MGX8850 (rel2)

Release 10 of CWM always communicates w ith the Release 2 MGX 8850 nodes using the ATM in-band
address. CWM uses the ATM in-band address fo r to p olog y di scove ry, trap r egis tr ati on, configuration
upload, as well as provisioni ng. In orde r to a ll ow C WM to p er for m out- of- band c omm unic ati on wi th the
switch via the switchs ethernet LAN interface, the static IP route should be configured (on the CWM
station and on the router, if necessary) to forward IP traffic destined for an ATM in-band address to the
nodes ethernet LAN interface. Never configure the same I P ad dre s s f or b o th et he rnet LA N a nd ATM
interfaces.
Configuring an MGX 8850 Feeder Session
This section provides information on how to configure the MGX 8850 switch as a feeder. To set up an
MGX 8850 feeder session, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Use the cnfname command to assign a name to the MGX 8850 node. The syntax for this command is:
cnfname <node name>
> cnfname popeye3a
Step 2 Use the ipifconfig command to configure the internet address of the MGX 8850. The syntax for this
command is: ipifconfig <interface> <IP address> <net mask> <broadcast address>
> ipifconfig InPci 172.29.37.78 255.255.255.000 0
> ipifconfig atm0 172.1.1.78 255.255.255.000 0
> cnfnwip 172.1.1.78
Step 3 Use the dspifip command to check LAN IP and NWIP
