Lucent Technologies 9077 16S, 9077 04S, 9076 manual Procedure

Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter

Bringing the SP Switch Router Adapter card on-line with the SP

SP System. Each dependent node has a node_number and other configuration and status information which is unique to that dependent node.

Procedure

1Check the SP Switch cable for obvious problems such as a loose or disconnected connector. If any problems are found, correct the problem.

2Check the 10Base-T twisted-pair connection between the SP Switch Router control board and the SP control workstation. This connection is normally routed through an Ethernet hub.

3If there is no terminal directly-attached to the SP Switch Router, check the SP Switch Router host name from the SP control workstation. From the control workstation, enter:

SDRGetObjects DependentNode node_number reliable_hostname

This will return the node numbers and the corresponding host names for the SP Switch

Router systems.

4Test Ethernet connectivity by performing a ping test from the SP control workstation to the SP Switch Router administrative Ethernet address.

5Check the status of the SP Switch Router Adapter LEDs.

Use the tables in the “SP Switch Router Adapter LEDs” section in Chapter 1 to determine the state of the card.

Generally, “RX ST0/ST1/ERR” and “TX ST0/ST1/ERR” will indicate a problem. The problem might be due to connection, configuration, hardware, or software.

To further test the SP Switch Router Adapter card hardware, you can reset or reseat the card, and then use the tables under “LED activity during boot” (Chapter 1) to interpret the results.

Note: Before you reset an SP Switch Router Adapter card or re-seat a card in the router chassis, be sure that the switch node has been fenced. Use an Efence command to take the dependent node off the switch node.

6From the SP control workstation, use an Eunfence and/or Estart command to bring the dependent node back into the configuration.

From the control workstation, check switch_responds for a good value.

If switch_responds returns "1" or shows green in Perspectives, then the dependent node is active again.

7You may need to log in to the SP Switch Router to perform additional analysis before determining whether any hardware needs replacement.

8If problems remain, you will have to contact the next level of Customer Support for further direction. They may log into the SP Switch Router to perform additional analysis. If you were directed here by the RS/6000 SP Maintenance Information Manual Dependent Node MAP, return to that procedure.

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.
