Configuring the LAN Port
Note Configure the LAN parameters before connecting the node to a LAN.
Note Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations publication and the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference publication for additional information
Step 1 Contact a system administrator to obtain IP addresses for the workstation and for the IGX node.
Step 2 Normally, the system administrator updates the NIS database, as applicable (if an NIS is used), and adds the IP addresses for the workstation and node to the NIS database. Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations publication for instructions on configuring the Cisco WAN Manager workstation.
•The addresses shown are examples. Use the addresses obtained from the system administrator. (This example is for a workstation named “hedgehog” at address 192.187.207.200. It also assumes that the IGX node LAN port for node “sanfran” has been assigned an IP address of 192.187.210.30 and a hostname of “sanfran.”)
192.187.207.200 hedgehog
192.187.210.30 sanfran
Note If an NIS is in use (in a corporate network, for example), consult with the system administrator.
Note Enter 5120 for the LAN ports on all IGX ports.
Step 3 Configure the LAN port on the IGX node using a dumb terminal or an
The cnflan command configures the node’s communication parameters so that the node can communicate with a Cisco WAN Manager terminal over an Ethernet LAN using the TCP/IP protocol. The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect the Cisco WAN Manager workstation to an IGX node. The values used must conform to those of the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
The cnflan command has the following parameters:
•IPAddr is the Internet Protocol address of the node used in the TCP/IP protocol.
•IPSubnetMask is a
•TCPServicePort is the IGX LAN port number entered in the /etc/service file on the workstation. It is 5120 for all IGX nodes.
