>setPXMPrimary “version”

where version is the version number of the firmware. The name of a MGX 8230 PXM firmware file has the format pxm_version.fw. For example: in PXM_1.0.03.fw, version is 1.0.03.

Step 13 Reboot the system again:

Configuring Node-Level Parameters

Except for adding a user or creating a password, all the tasks in this section can be performed with the CiscoView application.

Resource Partitioning

A resource partition on an MGX 8230 PXM consists of a percentage of bandwidth, a VPI/VCI range, and the number of global logical connection numbers (GLCNs) available to a network control application. By default, all resources on a logical interface are available to any controller on a first-come, first-served basis. In this release of the MGX 8230 MGX feeder application, Portable AutoRoute (PAR) is the only network control application. Future releases of the MGX 8230 may include other network control applications such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), then the resources will have to be carefully partitioned.

Note The MGX 8230 PXM resources do not have to be partitioned for the MGX 8230 MGX feeder application.
