Cisco 7600 Router Manager Installation Prerequisites

Prior to installing the Cisco 7600 Router Manager, you must before the following tasks:

• Installing the Cisco Element Manager Framework

• Hardware Configuration

Installing the Cisco Element Manager Framework

Version 3.1 of the Cisco 7600 Router Manager must be used with Cisco EMF version 3.2 service pack 7 and patch 7.1. You must install and run the appropriate Cisco EMF version before you can install the Cisco 7600 Router Manager. For more information, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide.

Hardware Configuration

Before you can use the Cisco 7600 Router Manager to manage a particular Cisco 7600 series internet router, you must configure the device. It is suggested that you perform hardware configuration prior to installing the Cisco 7600 Router Manager. Depending on the software installed on the device, configure each device to be managed via the element manager according to the following section.

Configuration Procedures (Native IOS)

You must configure the following prerequisites before the Cisco 7600 Router Manager can manage a Cisco 7600 series internet router. These apply only to switch instances running Native IOS (IOS installed on both the supervisor engine and the MSFC). Unlike the Hybrid OS situation, the supervisor engine and MSFC in Native IOS share a common configuration.

You must configure the following prerequisites before the Cisco 7600 Router Manager can manage a Cisco 7600 series internet router:

• Setting the Enable Password

• Setting the IP Address of the Switch

• Setting the Telnet Password

• Configuring the SNMP Server

• Enabling SNMP Traps

To perform the procedures in this section, you must enter these commands through the console port on the supervisor engine of the Cisco 7600 series internet router.

Setting the Enable Password

To set the enable password, follow these steps:

Step 1 Type enable to enter the enable mode:
Router> enable

The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC prompt (#) as follows:
Router#

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Router(config)#

Step 3 Set the enable password as follows:
Router(config)# enable secret <password>

Step 4 Exit configuration mode as follows:
Router(config)# exitRouter#

Setting the IP Address of the Switch

To set the IP address for the Cisco 7600 series internet router, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter configuration mode as follows:
Router> enablePassword: <password>

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Router(config)#

Step 3 Enter interface configuration mode as follows:
Router(config)# interface <type> <slot/port>Router(config-if)#

Note <type> is the type of Ethernet module; it can be ethernet, fastethernet, or gigabitethernet. <slot/ port> identifies the slot number and port number of the interface that provides network connectivity to the Cisco EMF server.

Step 4 Enter the IP address and netmask as follows:
Router(config-if)# ip address <ip_address> <netmask>

Step 5 Exit configuration mode and interface configuration mode as follows:
Router(config-if)# exitRouter(config)# exitRouter#

The Cisco EMF server should now be able to ping the Cisco 7600 series internet router.

Setting the Telnet Password

To verify that the Cisco 7600 series internet router accepts Telnet sessions, enter the telnet <ip_address> command from the Cisco EMF server:

telnet <ip_address>

Note <ip_address> is the IP address for the Cisco 7600 series internet router as configured in the "Setting the IP Address of the Switch" section.

If there is no response, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter configuration mode as follows:
Router> enablePassword: <password>

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Router(config)#

Step 3 Configure the Telnet session as follows:
Router(config)# line vty 0 4Router(config-line)# password <telnet password>Router(config-line)# login

Step 4 Exit configuration mode and interface configuration mode as follows:
Router(config-line)# exitRouter(config)# exitRouter#

Configuring the SNMP Server

If the SNMP server is not configured, you must perform this procedure.

To configure the SNMP server on the Cisco 7600 series internet router, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter configuration mode:
Router> enablePassword: <password>Router#

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Router(config)#

Step 3 Set the SNMP read community string as follows:
Router(config)# snmp-server community <read community> RO

Step 4 Set the SNMP write community string as follows:
Router(config)# snmp-server community <write community> RW

Enabling SNMP Traps

If SNMP traps are not enabled, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter configuration mode as follows:
Router> enablePassword: <password>Router#

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Step 3 Enable SNMP traps as follows:
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps

Step 4 Set the SNMP server to send traps to the Cisco EMF server as follows:
Router(config)# snmp-server host <ip_address of Cisco EMF server> <read community>

Mounting a Remote CD-ROM Drive

To install software onto a system that does not have its own CD-ROM drive, you need to mount the CD on the remote system and then export the device to make it accessible over the network. To mount a remote CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert the Cisco 7600 Router Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the remote host.

Step 2 Log in as superuser on the remote host. Enter /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep vold to verify that the volume manager is running.

When the Volume Manager is running, you see a message similar to this one:
root 591 1 0 Feb 26 ? 0 :01 /usr/sbin/vold

Step 3 If you do not see a message similar to the one shown in Step 2, start the Volume Manager by entering the following:
/etc/rc2.d/S92volmgt start

Step 4 Export the CD-ROM device from the remote host as follows:

a. When they are not already running, start the NFS-related daemons by entering the following:
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd 8/usr/lib/nfs/mountd

b. To share the mount point from the remote host, enter the following:
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

c. To verify that this host has now made the CD-ROM drive accessible, enter the following:
share

The listing displayed includes the /cdrom mount point.

Step 5 Mount the remote CD-ROM on the local host (from where the installation is to take place) as follows:

a. To create a mount point when none exists already, enter the following:
mkdir /mnt/cdfiles

b. To mount the remote directory, enter the following:
mount -r <remote-host> : /cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt/cdfiles

Note Replace the <remote-host> with the host name of the remote device.

The contents of the CD-ROM are visible under the /mnt/cdfiles mount point.

Installing the Cisco 7600 Router Manager Server Using eminstall

Note The following procedure assumes that a valid Cisco EMF server is installed and running. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide for further details.

To install the Cisco 7600 Router Manager using eminstall, follow these steps:

Step 1 Ensure that the following installation prerequisites have been met on the system:

•Cisco EMF 3.2 Service Pack 7 and Patch 7.1 successfully installed

•Cisco EMF started on the server (cemf start command)

•Cisco 7600 Router Manager Version 3.1 package has been download from Cisco's website or is available on CD-ROM

Note For additional information regarding Cisco EMF upgrade and the cemf start command, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide.

Note For instructions on downloading the Cisco 7600 Router Manager software package from the Cisco website and untarring the tar file, see the associated readme file.

Step 2 On the Cisco EMF server host, log in as superuser.

Step 3 Perform one of the following:

•Insert the Cisco 7600 Router Manager CD-ROM and change the directory into the CD-ROM area by entering the following:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0

•Navigate to the directory where the Cisco 7600 Router Manager Version 3.1 installation script exists.

Step 4 To run the install script, enter the following:
./eminstall

The following menu appears:
INSTALL PACKAGE================
1) Cisco 7600 Manager V3.1 Server Package2) Cisco 7600 Manager V3.1 Server Package Upgrade - Not Installed "CSCO6576m"3) Cisco 7600 Manager V3.1 Client Package - Incompatible type "c"4) Cisco 7600 Manager V3.1 Client Package Upgrade - Not Installed "CSCO6576c"
q) Quit
Which package do you wish to install? (Def:q) [?,q]
You must install the server package (option 1) on the same host as the Cisco EMF server. If you are using Cisco EMF in the client/server mode, then you must install the client package (option 3) on each host running the Cisco EMF client.

Because the example shown in Step 4 is from a host where the Cisco EMF server package was installed, Option 3 indicates an error "Incompatible type c," which means that you cannot install the client package on this host.

Options 2 or 4 are available only if you are upgrading a currently installed Cisco 7600 Router Manager to a newer version. See Chapter 3, "Upgrading Cisco 7600 Router Manager," for more information.

Step 5 Select the installation you require. The utility performs the appropriate installation.

A confirmation prompt displays.

Step 6 Provide the appropriate confirmation for the selected installation option at the prompt. An entry of "y" indicates yes and the installation process commences. An entry of "n" indicates no and cancels the installation process.

Note If a Cisco EMF session is currently running, the Cisco 7600 Router Manager installation process automatically closes all Cisco EMF windows.

As installation of each package takes place, the following displays:
Installation of <package name> was successful.
At the completion of the installation, the following displays:
The option install "installation option" was completed successfully.
Step 7 When the installation is complete, exit the CD-ROM area as necessary by entering the following at the command prompt:
cd /

Step 8 Remove the CD-ROM as necessary by entering the following at the command prompt:
eject cdrom

Step 9 Ensure that the Cisco 7600 Router Manager was installed correctly by starting a Cisco EMF session and entering the following:
CEMF_ROOT/bin/cemf session

Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where Cisco EMF is installed.

Step 10 Log on with your username and password in the displayed login window.

Step 11 From the Cisco EMF Launchpad, select the Viewer application. If the Cisco 7600 Router Manager was installed correctly, the Deployment sub-menu from a container in the Physical tree will contain a CSM/7600 item.

The Cisco 7600 Router Manager is now ready to use. See the Cisco 7600 Router Manager User Guide for information on using the Cisco 7600 Router Manager features available.
