About This Manual

Document Objectives

This document has two objectives:

To help you prepare your site for the delivery and installation of a LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switch (LS2020 switch)
To assist you in making the LS2020 switch fully operational in your networking environment

This document guides you through the following major tasks:

Ensuring that your site conforms to applicable standards and environmental requirements
Installing the LS2020 switch in the selected location
Performing basic configuration procedures for the LS2020 StreamView network management software that runs on your Sun network management system (NMS)
Installing the LS2020 StreamView network management software to make it operable on the NMS either in the presence or absence of HP OpenView on the NMS
Installing additional components in your LS2020 switch after system delivery

All Cisco technical documentation and additional literature are available on UniverCD, Cisco's online library of product information. UniverCD is updated and shipped monthly, so it may be more up to date than printed documentation. UniverCD is available both as a single CD and as an annual subscription. To order UniverCD, contact your local sales representative or call Customer Service. You can also access Cisco technical documentation on the World Wide Web through the Universal Reference Locator (URL): http://www.cisco.com.

Audience

The audience for this guide includes LS2020 customers, Cisco Systems, Inc. employees, and partner companies who need information about installing LS2020 nodes in a network.

For brevity and clarity, the LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switch may be referred to generically throughout this document using one of the following terms:

LS2020 switch
LS2020 chassis
LS2020 node

Context will determine which one of these terms is appropriate to the discussion at hand.

Document Organization

This manual is organized as follows:

"About This Manual" describes the document's objectives, audience, and organization. Also, this section presents the document conventions used in this manual and identifies related documents that, as a whole, constitute the user information library for an LS2020 switch.
The "Overview" chapter summarizes the primary tasks involved in installing the hardware and software for an LS2020 switch. It also establishes an appropriate context for discussing the platform (chassis) software and the StreamView (network management) software, both of which are essential in making an LS2020 switch fully functional in a networking environment.
The "Installing a LightStream 2020 Switch" chapter explains how to rack mount an LS2020 chassis, mount fantails, attach cables, apply power, and enter basic configuration information for the StreamView network management software running on the NMS.
The "Installing StreamView Software" chapter explains how to install the StreamView network management software on your NMS so that it can run either with or without HP OpenView.
The "LightStream 2020 Setup Procedures" chapter provides instructions for a variety of tasks that you should perform before activating your LS2020 switch in the network.

: The set-up procedures in this chapter relate to the platform software that runs on the network processor (NP) card in the LS2020 chassis.
: The NP card operates in conjunction with a floppy disk drive (for loading software) and a hard disk drive (for storing software and configuration data). Together, these elements serve as the loading, computational, and storage resources for an LS2020 switch.
: An LS2020 switch can accommodate a second NP card. If present, the second card serves as a backup to the first. Each NP card also has an associated access card that provides an Ethernet port for connectivity within the networking environment.

The "Installing Additional Components" chapter provides directions for the on-site installation of additional functional components in your LS2020 chassis after initial system delivery and installation.

For example, an LS2020 switch can accommodate the following additional components:

A second NP card. If present, the second card serves as a backup to the first card.
An additional switch card
An additional AC or DC power tray
Additional line cards for supporting a variety of networking technologies and interfaces

The "StreamView Output Samples" appendix provides representative output generated by StreamView software modules during various installation and software configuration tasks.

Document Conventions

The conventions listed in the table below are used in this document to enhance reader comprehension and product usability.

Convention	Purpose	Example
`Bold screen literal` type	Represents user input.	$ `date`
`Screen literal` type	Represents system output.	`Wed May 6 17:01:03 EDT 1994`
Boldface type	Denotes names of commands, command arguments, and switches. Command names are case sensitive; enter them exactly as they appear in the text or examples.	Issue the clear command.
Italic type	Used for titles of documents and for emphasis.	`LightStream 2020 Configuration Guide`. File names are case sensitive.
Angle brackets <>	Indicate user-specified parameters or classes of user responses. When you see this notation in command syntax, make the substitution enclosed within the brackets, but do not type the angle brackets.	If you see: `set port` `<c.p> <state>` you might type: `set port 4.3 active`
Square brackets [ ]	Indicate optional arguments or parameters for commands. You can omit optional arguments and parameters in any command.	cli> help [<topic>]
Caret symbol ^	When the caret symbol precedes a character, it refers to the control key.	^X (the same as Control X)
Curly braces{ }	Indicate a choice of argument or parameters for commands. Arguments or parameters are separated by a vertical line{\|}, and you must select one.	cli> set cli traplevel {off\|info\|oper\|trace\|debug}
