Cisco MGX 8220 Installation and Configuration

Release 5.0, Part Number 78-6430-03 Rev. D0, November 2003

Chapter Command-Line Interface

Before you can access Cisco MGX 8220 using the in-band method, you must set up or add a connection

across the network. To configure a conne cti on t o Ci sco MGX 8220 that will term in at e o n th e i n-band

port of the ASC card, proceed as follows:

1. Configure the Cisco MGX 8220 in-ba nd IP ad dres s e nteri ng the cnfifip command with an interface

type 37. See “Setting-Up IP Addresses for Control Port, LAN Port, or In-Band Ac cess” section on

page 3-8.

2. Management connection end points are already configured on the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf. The

reserved end points for management purposes are VPI = 3 and VCI = 8 to 15.

3. Add a connection from th e B N I co nn ec ted to the management term i na l ( d ir ect ly o r in d ir ect ly) to

the BNI in the Cisco BPX connected to the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf, using a destination address of

VPI = 3, and VCI= 8 to 15.

4. Using the in-band IP address of t he Ci s co M G X 8 22 0 she lf as the destination address, start th e

application for ente r in g C LI commands, the SN M P m a nager application for m a naging Cisco

MGX 8220 through SNMP comm an ds, or start the TFTP application t o co nfigu re o r co ll ect

statistics.

The LAN port allows the shelf to be connected to an Ethernet networ k using an appropriate transceiver.

Thus a workstation connected to th e E thernet network can communicate directly with the Cisco

MGX 8220. The port should be given an IP address to allow TCP/IP protocols to be used.

1. Set up the LAN on Cisco MGX 8220 using cnfifip with an interface type of 26 as described

“Setting-Up IP Addresses for Control Port, LAN Port, or In-Band Access” section on page3-8.

2. Make sure the Ethernet workstation has TCP/IP installed and is configured for TCP/IP

communication.

3. Start the Telnet application for ente ring C L I c ommands, the SNMP manager ap p lic ati on for

managing Cisco MGX8220 through SNMP commands, or start the TFTP application to configure

or collect statistics.

Command-Line Interface

The command-line interface (CLI) u ses a simple alphanumeric terminal an d em ploys the concept of a

system prompt to which the user types in commands.

The CLI also employs the concept of a user being logged into a particular module (slot) in the Cisco

MGX 8220 shelf, and all command s entered are assumed to apply to that mo dule (slot). In this way the

CLI can be used for managing both the core cards and the service modules.

For security, logging in involves entering a correct preas signed password, which allows the user acc ess

only to commands of a spec ified privilege level or below.

One command that must be ente red using the CLI is the Configu re I nt er fac e I P ad d re s s ( cn fifip).

Because a control station, in clu d in g CWM , uses an IP address to commu ni cat e w i th th e shelf, the

various ports on the shelf must first be assigned IP addresses using the cnfifip command.
