Cisco Systems manual Bringing Up an MGX 8230 PXM With No Run-time Firmware

Chapter 5 Configuring the MGX 8230 Shelf

MGX 8230 MGX to BPX Feeder

3.Download MGX 8230 PXM firmware.

4.Configure a new, MGX 8230-level Ethernet IP address for the MGX 8230 PXM as needed or other SLIP or IP addresses.

5.Specify a name for the MGX 8230.

6.Specify the time on the MGX 8230.

7.Optionally configure a time zone for the Western Hemisphere, or configure a time zone relative to Greenwich Mean Time if the MGX 8230 resides outside the Western Hemisphere.

8.Download firmware to the service modules.

If the MGX 8230 PXM has no runtime (or “on-line”) firmware Image, begin with the boot-mode description in the “Bringing Up an MGX 8230 PXM With No Run-time Firmware” section on page 5-4. If the MGX 8230 PXM has a run-time firmware image, go to the section “Bringing Up an MGX 8230 PXM With No Run-time Firmware.”

Bringing Up an MGX 8230 PXM With No Run-time Firmware

The section describes the tasks for loading runtime firmware onto a MGX 8230 PXM that has only a boot loader.

Step 1 Establish communication with the MGX 8230 by doing one of the following:

•Connect a cable between your terminal or PC and the PXM-UI or PXM-UI-S3 control port.

•If you are using an ASCII terminal connected to the control port, the prompt for the next command is already present upon power-up. (If the display is skewed, make sure the terminal speed and PXM-UI or PXM-UI-S3 port speeds are the same.)

•If you are using a utility such as Hyper Terminal on a PC, the firmware may reside on either a floppy or the hard drive.

Step 2 Execute the command bootChange to configure boot-level IP parameters.

If the MGX 8230 has a redundant MGX 8230 PXM, execute bootChange on each MGX 8230 PXM to configure unique, boot-level IP addresses. (During the subsequent MGX 8230-level configuration, you must configure another Ethernet IP address that applies to both MGX 8230 PXMs.) The following are the only parameters that are meaningful at this point, so press Return other parameters:

•Mandatory “host name” is a name for the workstation. For the MGX 8230, enter the letter c.

•Ethernet IP address and subnet mask for the MGX 8230 PXM LAN port are mandatory (see “inet on Ethernet” in the following example). Follow the IP address with a colon and a net mask. The netmask is eight hexadecimal numbers with no embedded periods. Do not type spaces on either side of the colon.

•If the workstation from which you download firmware is on a subnet other than the subnet of the MGX 8230 PXM, enter a gateway IP address (“gateway inet”).

Note the three editing functions near the top of the following example. Of these, typing a period to the clear the current field is the most commonly used.
