Express Setup

You access the switch module via the host CGR 2010 router. For more information, see Accessing the Switch Module, page 4-2.

To exchange and monitor control messages between the switch module and the router, a Router Blade Configuration Protocol (RBCP) stack operates concurrently on active IOS sessions running on both the host router and the switch module.

You should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. You can then access the switch module through the IP address for further configuration.
