Quick Start Guide
Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System
Software Configuration



Gather Information

Gather and record the system information in
this section prior to configuring the
Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system (or
Cisco Accesspath-LS3). Having this information readily available before you begin will simplify the configuration process.

Site Information

    1. Configuration Identification
    Example: Cisco. Give a name to the group of systems you are configuring.



    2. Site Identification
    Example: sanjose. Give a name to the system you are configuring. This name is used as a prefix appended to each host name in the system (for example: sanjoseas01).



General System Information

    1. Number of Access Servers
    Enter the number of Cisco AS5300s in your system. There can be between 1 and 21 Access Servers in a given system (between 1and 4 for the AccessPath-LS3).



    2. Number of Routers
    Enter the number of Cisco 7206s in the system. This will vary according to the size of your system.



    0 for AP-LS3



    1 (default) for Entry and Midrange AP-TS3 systems



    2 for High-End or High-End/Extended systems

    3. Type of System
    Specify the switch used in the system. This will vary according to the size of the system.



    AP-TS3 Entry—Cisco 7206 Switch Blade



    AP-TS3 Midrange to High-End/ Extended— Cisco Catalyst 5002 (default)



    AP-LS3—None

    4. PRI Density

Upload Configuration

All parameters needed to configure a Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system can be saved in a separate file (called saved-parameters_ts3_ConfigID _SiteID), and the Configurator can use this file to set the parameters in the configuration files it generates. This may be convenient when configuring multiple systems in the same group.

    1. Saved Configuration File
    Give the local file path for the file to upload and use to initialize current parameter values. After uploading the file, you must confirm (by clicking OK on each Configurator screen) or modify parameters before generating a new configuration file set.





Create Configuration Files

The Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system is shipped with a standard software configuration. Using the information gathered in Section 1 and the AccessPath-TS3 Configurator, create configuration files to apply to your system. The AccessPath-TS3 Configurator is a web-based application that creates text files you will later download into your AccessPath-TS3 system components (it also supports the Cisco AccessPath-LS3). To use it, you will need a web browser that supports javascript (Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer are ideal).


Step 1   Connect your web browser to

www.cisco.com/support/toolkit/AccessPathTS3

and follow the link provided to the AccessPath TS-3 Configurator.

Step 2   Enter the site information.

Step 3   Enter the general system information.

Step 4   Enter the dial-in information.

Step 5   Enter the trunk information.

Step 6   Enter the routing information.

Step 7   Enter the SNMP information.

Step 8   Enter the logging information.

Step 9   Enter the AAA information.

Step 10   Enter miscellaneous information.

Step 11   Enter the password information.

Step 12   Enter the backhaul information.

You also have the option of uploading custom configurations that the Configurator will collect new parameter values for, or a file that will provide input values for your units. After the information has been submitted and verified, the Configurator generates a configuration file for each component in the system and a web page that links to ways to download these files.

Get the Files from the Web Site

The Configurator provides three ways to get the configuration files:

Modify passwords before loading the configuration files. Open each file and look for lines like the following (default passwords are shown in bold):

enable password cisco1 enable secret secret123 line vty 0 31 password cisco2



Connect to the System


For the initial configuration, you must establish a direct terminal connection to the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system to download your new configuration files. Terminal connnection to the AccessPath-TS3 requires the following:

The System Controller provides console management services for each of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system components. You will need to establish a direct connection to the System Controller, and from there you can connect to the other system components via reverse Telnet.

Take the following steps to connect a local terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port on the System Controller:


Step 1   Connect the terminal using the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable (looks like a telephone cable) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL) included with the access server.

Step 2   Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

The terminal should now show the following:

      cms01>



Download Configuration Files

You can configure a system component via TFTP or by copying and pasting configuration file contents to the component's CLI. Use the "copy and paste" method for the initial setup, and TFTP to update a configuration.

Configure System Components by Copy and Paste

Configure the System Controller


Step 1   Enable the CLI:

cms01>enable Password: secret123 cms01#

Step 2   Copy the contents of the CMS01 configuration file using your text editor, and paste them to the CLI for the System Controller.

Step 3   Enter the following command to save your configuration changes so that they will not be lost if there is a system reload or power outage:

cms01# copy running-config startup-config Building configuration...

It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the following appears:

[OK] cms01#

Configure the Other
System Components


Step 1   Get the System Controller's loopback1 IP address. At the prompt, enter:

cms01# show running-config

Note the loopback1 IP address for the System Controller.

Step 2   Connect to the other system components in the following order:

To connect to other system components, specify the loopback 1 IP address and the port corresponding to each component, as shown:

cms01# telnet loopback1_Address Port

Replace loopback1_ Address with the actual loopback1 IP, and Port with the port number for the component. Refer to the port mappings table on page 14.

Step 5   Repeat this process for all system components, in the proper order (see page 13), until all system components are configured.

Your configuration is now complete.

To modify the configurations in more detail, download the default templates and modify them as desired. For a discussion of possible modifications, refer to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ access/ap/ap_ts3/ap_ts3sw/config/index.htm

Configure System Components from a TFTP Server


Note This solution requires that the AccessPath-TS3 have a functional connection to a network with a TFTP server.

To copy a configuration file from a TFTP server to a system component (this example uses the System Controller) while connected to that component:


Step 1   Enter the copy tftp startup-config command without the destination partition and destination filename options specified in the initial command line:

CMS01# copy tftp startup-config

Step 2   Enter or confirm the IP address of the remote TFTP server:

Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 192.168.245.2

Step 3   Specify the source filename. This example uses the UNIX filename cms01-confg to copy the cms01-confg file:

Name of configuration file [router-confg]? cms01-confg Configure using cms01-confg from 192.168.245.2? [confirm] y Loading cms01-confg from 192.168.245.2 (via Ethernet1/0): ! [OK - 3147/128975 bytes] [OK] CMS01# %SYS-5-CONFIG_NV: Non-volatile store configured from cms01-confg by console tftp from 192.168.245.2

Step 4   Review the configuration to confirm it is really what you want to load:

CMS01# show startup-config

The System Controller displays the configuration loaded from the TFTP server.

Step 5   Reload the System Controller, as follows:

CMS01# reload Proceed with reload? [confirm] y *Feb 28 16:00:46.507 PST: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested

Watch for error messages during the configuration load. The reload is done over a copy to prevent the configurations from merging. This ensures a clean reload and configuration.

Step 6   Repeat this process for all system components, in the proper order (see page 13), until all system components are configured.
