Configuration Overview

Before You Begin


This chapter provides basic information about the Cisco ONS 15530. This chapter includes the following topics:

About the CLI

About Cisco IOS Command Modes

Interface Naming Conventions

Configuration Overview


Note To ensure the installed Cisco IOS software supports your hardware and provides the software features you wish to use, see the "New and Changed Information" section on page xiii. Also refer to the "Hardware Supported" section and "Feature Set" section of the latest release notes for the Cisco ONS 15530.


About the CLI

You can configure the Cisco ONS 15530 from the CLI (command-line interface) that runs on the system console or terminal, or by using remote access.

To use the CLI, your terminal must be connected to the Cisco ONS 15530 through the console port or one of the TTY lines. By default, the terminal is configured to a basic configuration, which should work for most terminal sessions.

About Cisco IOS Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you depend on which mode you are currently in. To get a list of the commands available in a given mode, type a question mark (?) at the system prompt.

When you start a session on the system, you begin in user mode, also called EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of the commands are available in EXEC mode. To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must type in a password to access privileged EXEC mode. From privileged mode, you can type in any EXEC command or access global configuration mode. Most of the EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The EXEC commands are not saved across system reboots or across processor switchovers.

You can monitor and control the standby processor with commands entered on the active processor. A subset of EXEC and privileged EXEC commands are available through the standby processor console.


Note You can easily determine if you are accessing the active or the standby processor: The standby processor has "sby-" prefixed to the command prompt.


The configuration modes allow you to make changes to the running configuration. If you later save the configuration, these commands are stored across system reboots. You must start at global configuration mode. From global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode, subinterface configuration mode, and a variety submodes.

ROM (Read-only memory) monitor mode is a separate mode used when the system cannot boot properly. For example, your system or access server might enter ROM monitor mode if it does not find a valid system image when it is booting, or if its configuration file is corrupted at startup.

Table 2-1 lists and describes the most commonly used modes, how to enter the modes, and the resulting system prompts. The system prompt helps you identify which mode you are in and, therefore, which commands are available to you.

Table 2-1 Frequently Used IOS Command Modes 

Mode
Description of Use
How to Access
Prompt

User EXEC

To connect to remote devices, change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and display system information.

Log in.

Switch>

Privileged EXEC (Enable)

To set operating parameters. The privileged command set includes the commands in user EXEC mode, as well as the configure command. Use this command to access the other command modes.

From the user EXEC mode, enter the enable command and the enable password.

Switch#

Global configuration

To configure features that affect the system as a whole.

From the privileged EXEC mode, enter the configure terminal command.

Switch(config)#

Interface configuration

To enable features for a particular interface. Interface commands enable or modify the operation of a port.

From global configuration mode, enter the interface type location command.

For example, enter
interface fastethernet 0

Switch(config-if)#

Line configuration

To configure the console port or VTY line from the directly connected console or the virtual terminal used with Telnet.

From global configuration mode, enter the line console 0 command to configure the console port, or the line vty line-number command to configure a VTY line.

Switch(config-line)#

Redundancy configuration

To configure system redundancy.

From global configuration mode, enter the redundancy command.

Switch(config-red)#

APS1 configuration

To configure APS redundancy features.

From redundancy configuration mode, enter the associate group command.

Switch(config-aps)#

Threshold list configuration

To configure alarm threshold list attributes and thresholds.

From the global configuration mode, enter the threshold-list command.

Switch(config-t-list)#

Threshold configuration

To configure alarm threshold attributes.

From threshold list configuration mode, enter the threshold command.

Switch(config-threshold)#

1 Automatic Protection Switching


The Cisco IOS command interpreter, called the EXEC, interprets and executes the commands you enter. You can abbreviate commands and keywords by entering just enough characters to make the command unique from other commands. For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh and the configure terminal command to config t.

When you type exit, the CLI backs out one command mode level. In general, typing exit returns you to global configuration mode. To exit configuration mode completely and return to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z or end.

Listing Cisco IOS Commands and Syntax

In any command mode, you can get a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).

Switch?

To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters followed immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is called word help, because it lists the words for you.

Switch# c? calendar cd clear clock configure connect copy

To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before the question mark. This form of help is called command syntax help, because it reminds you which keywords or arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you have already entered.

Switch# configure ? memory Configure from NV memory network Configure from a TFTP network host overwrite-network Overwrite NV memory from TFTP network host terminal Configure from the terminal <cr>

To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the Up-arrow key. You can continue to press the Up-arrow key to see more previously issued commands.


Tips If you are having trouble entering a command, check the system prompt and enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong command mode or using incorrect syntax.


You can press Ctrl-Z or end in any mode to immediately return to privileged EXEC (enable) mode, instead of entering exit, which returns you to the previous mode.

Each NME interface has a unique MAC address. Also, you must configure each NME interface with a unique IP address. After a processor switchover, when the standby CPU switch module takes over as active, the IP and MAC addresses of the standby CPU switch module are reinitialized to those of the active CPU switch module.


Note Network management system sessions and Telnet sessions are allowed on the NME interface on the active CPU switch module (fastethernet 0) but not allowed on the NME interface on the standby CPU switch module (fastethernet-sby 0).


Auxiliary Port Interfaces

Each CPU switch module has an auxiliary port interface. You can use this interface for modem connections. This interface is named aux 0. The DUART provides two UART channels, both of which connects to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel as the console and auxiliary ports. Typically, the console port connects to a console for configuring, controlling, or debugging the CPU switch module.
