Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter 2

This chapter describes configuration and installation tasks required to connect an SP Switch Router Adapter media card to an IBM SP System.

The RS/6000 SP Switch Router is based on the GRF 400 and GRF1600 routers manufactured by Lucent Technologies. For that reason, this manual contains references to the

GRF 400/1600 Getting Started, GRF Reference Guide, and GRF Configuration and Management manuals. The SP model of a GRF router is referred to as the SP Switch Router.

For more information about configuration as related to the SP, see the PSSP Administration Guide and the PSSP Command and Technical Reference. For additional information on troubleshooting your configuration, see the PSSP Diagnosis Guide.
