Step-by-step media card configuration

Step-by-step media card configuration

This section provides a configuration overview and the steps required to configure an SP

Switch Router Adapter media card.

Configuration files and their uses

These are the /etc configuration files discussed in this chapter:

grifconfig.conf	- identifies each logical interface on a media card
snmpd.conf	- enables SNMP capabilities
grdev1.conf	- configures SP Switch Router Adapter cards

Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for templates of all configuration files.

Overview of steps 1–5

Steps 1 through 5 are described following this list.

1Check SNMP in the SP Switch Router system.

Edit the SNMP configuration file and start SNMP daemon on the SP Switch Router.

2Assign IP addresses

Assign an IP address and other parameters to each SP Switch Router Adapter interface.

There are two ways to configure these parameters:

a. We recommend using the procedures documented in the “Managing Extension Nodes” chapter of the PSSP Administration Guide.

or:

b. As an alternative, you can log in to the SP Switch Router and use a UNIX editor to enter the address and other parameters in the /etc/grifconfig.conf file.

3Change profile settings (optional)

Change default boot diagnostics and dump settings in profiles.

To change the defaults for one card, change settings in the appropriate Card profile.

To change the defaults for all installed SP Switch Router Adapter cards, change settings in the Dump and Load profiles.

The default settings are:
– enable/disable diagnostic boot sequence:		default,off
–	when to dump:	default,at card reset or hang
–	additional dumps to save:	default,two

Default settings save the first dump of the day, the current dump, and the next two recent dumps.
