Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter

Step 4. Run dev1config to create grdev1.conf

Step 4. Run dev1config to create grdev1.conf

 

The dev1config command creates configuration files that are necessary for the set up of your

 

SP Switch Router Adapter card, including /etc/grdev1.conf file.

 

This command creates the /etc/grdev1.conf file that contains the null values for the SP

 

Switch Router Adapter MIB. Your SP Switch Router Adapter card configuration will fail if you

 

do not run this command.

 

Caution: You cannot verify that the parameters have been set in /etc/grdev1.conf until

!

 

after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch.

 

 

There are two ways to get configuration parameters into the /etc/grdev1.conf file.

Method 1: Recommended, use SP SNMP Manager

This is the method recommended for configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter card. From a system point of view, it is appropriate to treat the SP Switch Router Adapter card as an extension node in the SP system. All configuration parameters should be entered using the SMIT panels.

Refer specifically to the “Managing Extension Nodes” chapter in the PSSP Administration Guide for information about setting up SNMP to monitor the SP Switch Router system and configure the SP Switch Router Adapter media card.

This is the same configuration information as described earlier in Method 1 of Step 2. These parameters will only be available in the /etc/grdev1.conf file after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch.

Method 2: Optional, edit /etc/grdev1.conf

On the SP Switch Router, edit the /etc/grdev1.conf file to assign parameters to each logical SP Switch Router interface. These parameters are described on the next page.

Remember that if you enter configuration information into SP Switch Router configuration files, you also need to access the SMIT panels and re-enter information those panels require.

How to run the command

You must run the dev1config command while you are logged on to the SP Switch Router. Log on and start the UNIX shell using the sh command:

super> sh

#

Enter the dev1config command:

# dev1config

Then, after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch, use the vi editor command to open the /etc/grdev1.conf file and verify that it does contain the configuration data.
