This chapter describes the commands that let you set up an IPX, IGX, or BPX node. (You must set up each node before you build the network.) This chapter also describes how to:
Before a node can be added to the network, a unique node name must be assigned. All nodes initially have the default name NODENAME. The node name consists of 1 to 8 printable characters (beginning with a letter), and cannot contain spaces. If you are naming the node after a city or place that contains more than eight characters, you will have to abbreviate the name for use as a node name. The name must be unique across the network. To assign the node the name of alpha, enter:
To change a node name, do the following:
Step 2 Change the name of the node using the cnfname command:
The name of the node you are connected to changes to the new name. This new name is distributed automatically to other nodes in the network.
Each node must have a time zone. To set the time zone for the node to Greenwich Mean Time, for example, enter:
Since Rel. 7.0 Packet Lines are referred to as Trunks. Use the letters "trk" in all commands referring to packet lines. To remove a trunk from the network, do the following.
Step 2 Delete all packet (trunk) lines attached to the node using the deltrk command. For example, to delete line 5, enter: deltrk 5.
An interface shelf is a non-routing device that drives ATM cells to and from a BPX or IGX routing hub in a tiered network. (An interface shelf is also known as a feeder shelf.) An interface shelf is either an IPX or IGX node configured as an interface shelf or an MGX 8220 shelf.
For an IPX or IGX node to serve as an interface shelf, personnel in the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) must first configure it for that purpose because tiered network capability is a purchased option. Furthermore, an interface shelf must be configured through the cnftrk command to use STI cell headers and BPX Addressing Mode (BAM). Before you can add an MGX 8220 shelf to a tiered network, the shelf must be an available resource in the network. (For instructions on how to bring up an MGX 8220 shelf, see the MGX 8220 documentation.)
To add an interface shelf, use addshelf. See Figure 3-7 for an illustration of the command sequence for setting up an interface shelf. To delete a feeder shelf, use delshelf. To view conditions on a feeder trunk, use dspnode. Note that addshelf and addtrk are mutually exclusive commands.
IPX/AF is the designation of an IPX node serving as an interface shelf. IGX/AF is the designation of an IGX node serving as an interface shelf. Display commands such as dspnw and dspnode display these designations. The dspnode command identifies the hub and feeder nodes and shows the alarm status. The designation for an MGX 8220 shelf serving as an interface shelf is AXIS.
You can set up port redundancy by installing two identical front and back card sets, connecting them with a Y-cable on each paired port, then specifying redundancy with the addyred command. Redundancy applies to the entire card and is not port or line-specific. The commands that apply to Y-cable redundancy are
During normal operation, the primary set is "active" and carrying traffic, while the secondary set is in "standby." The configuration of the primary set is the configuration for both the primary and redundant set. If you reset the primary cards or the primary cards becomes inactive for another reason, the secondary card set becomes active.
IGX card sets may consist of the following:
IPX card sets may consist of the following:
BPX card sets may consist of the following:
The following requirements apply to redundant card sets:
Figure 3-1 illustrates the typical Y-cable connection of primary and secondary card sets. The singular end of a Y-cable (or base of the "Y") goes to the user-equipment. One of the two connectors at the split end goes to the primary back card, and the other connector goes to the secondary back card.
Switching to the standby card occurs only if the secondary card set is in a "Standby" or a "Standby-T" state (but not "Failed"). See the dspcds definition for information on these states.
On multi-port card sets, each primary port is connected by a Y-cable to a secondary (redundant) port. Port 1 of the primary card set must be paired to port 1 of the secondary card set, and so on. Figure 3-2 illustrates the cabling for a multi-port card set.
If the secondary card set becomes active, the primary card set goes into the standby state. For the primary card set to serve as a backup, it must be a complete set and not have failed status.
You can execute addyred even if the primary and secondary slots are empty. If cards reside in the primary and secondary slots, the system checks for card compatibility. Two types of incompatibility can occur: back card and jumper or cable. (On SDI, FRI, and FTI cards, jumpers determine whether a port is configured as DCE or DTE. On LDI cards, either a DCE or DTE adapter cable connects to the LDI port, as applicable).
If incompatibilities exist, the message "Y-Cable Conflict" appears on screen. Specific conflicts are listed in reverse video in the Y-Cable Redundancy screen. See the dspyred description for details. Redundancy on V.35 versions of the SDI and FRI cards requires special redundant jumpers. Always use the applicable Y-Cable Redundancy kit for a card.
If your system is configured to control an external device, such as a multiplexer, you can establish a window session to it from the control terminal. While in a window session, any characters you type at the control terminal go to the external device for processing. Any characters generated by the external device appear on the control terminal screen.
The Window to External Device (window) command establishes a window session. You can use this command only if the external device connects to the local node. You can, however, enter the window command during a virtual terminal session so that you have a window session with any external device in the network. To start a window session, use the Virtual Terminal (vt) command to access the node cabled to the device, then invoke the window command. Before starting a window session, you must have configured the port and the port function with cnfterm and cnftermfunc. In addition, you must know whether the external window device is cabled to a node's Control Terminal (EIA/TIA-232) port or Aux Port (EIA/TIA-232) port. The format for the window command is:
Enter an a if the external device is attached to the node's Aux Port or c if the device is attached to the node's Control Terminal port. The default for this parameter is Aux Port. To establish a window session with an external device attached to a node's Control Terminal port, enter:
The system responds by redrawing the terminal screen. You can now enter commands and send data to the external device as if you were locally connected to its Control Terminal port. While in the window session, only commands used to control the external device are recognized. IPX/IGX/BPX commands are not recognized. You might notice a slight transfer delay in transmission, due to the IPX/IGX/BPX bundling of characters before transmitting them. Transfers are delayed until the transfer buffer is filled, or until the keyboard has been inactive for over 50 milliseconds.
To end a window session, enter an escape sequence. Escape sequences are one-to-eight characters in length and are configured with the Configure Terminal Port Function (cnftermfunc) command. For example, if you have specified "signoff" as the escape sequence in the Configure Terminal Port Function, enter the following to end the window session:
The default escape sequence is:
If this escape sequence does not work and you do not know the configured escape sequence, leave the keyboard idle for four minutes. After four minutes, the system terminates the window session.
The sequences in Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, Figure 3-6, and Figure 3-7 show the commands you execute to do the following node-related tasks:

Enables the MAJOR and MINOR alarm indicators on an Alarm Relay Card (ARC) or Alarm Relay Module (ARM) front card. It also configures the slot to provide external alarms from the Alarm Relay Interface (ARI) back card. This command should be used at each node equipped to provide external alarm indications to the customer alarm reporting system. The slot specified for the ARC or ARM may be any shelf slot but is usually the slot farthest to the right.
Upon command execution, the system places the alarm card set in the active state and displays the current alarm status.

Adds a trunk between a hub node and an interface shelf in a tiered network. The hub can be either a BPX or an IGX.
The interface shelf can be one of the following:
The signaling protocol that applies to the trunk on an interface shelf is Annex G.
Because tiered network capability is a paid option, personnel in the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) must telnet to the unit and configure it as an interface shelf before you can execute addshelf.
Each IPX/AF, IGX/AF, or MGX 8220 shelf has one trunk that connects to the BPX or IGX node serving as an access hub. A BPX hub can support up to 16 T3 trunks to the interface shelves. An IGX hub can support up to 4 trunks to the interface shelves.
Before it can carry traffic, the trunk on an interface shelf must be "upped" (using uptrk) on both the interface shelf and the hub node and "added" to the network (using addshelf). Also, a trunk must be free of major alarms before you can add it with the addshelf command.

Enables card redundancy for the IPX, IGX, and BPX cards. Use the addyred command to specify the slots of the primary and secondary (standby) cards that form the redundant pair. Refer to the section titled "Specifying Card Redundancy " at the beginning of this chapter for a list of supported card sets. Redundant card sets have the following characteristics:
In both the single and multi-port card sets, if the secondary card set becomes active, the primary card set serves as its backup (assuming the primary card set is complete and not failed). The addyred command can be used even if the primary and secondary slots are empty. If cards reside in the primary and secondary slots, the system checks for card compatibility. Two types of incompatibility can occur: back card and jumper or cable inconsistencies. (On SDI, FRI, and FTI cards, jumpers determine whether a port is configured as DCE or DTE. On LDI cards, either a DCE or DTE adapter cable connects to the LDI port. For descriptions of the jumper positions and cabling, see the Cisco IPX Installation manual or the Cisco IGX 8400 Series Installation manual.)
If incompatibilities exist, the message "Y-Cable Conflict" appears on the screen. Specific conflicts are listed in reverse video in the dspyred display. See the dspyred description for more information.

Configures the printing function. To obtain local or remote printing at a node, a printer must connect to the AUX PORT. Also, the configuration must include the correct baud rate and printer type for the port. Use the cnfterm and cnftermfunc commands to do this.
The cnfprt and cnftermfunc commands interact. If the auxiliary port on the node is configured for either an External Device Window or the Network Management Log, a "local" printing configuration automatically changes to "no printing." Printing is not possible because the auxiliary port is being used for another purpose.
Establishing a virtual terminal connection with a node does not affect the printing location established for the node that initiates the virtual terminal connection. For example, if node alpha is configured so that all alpha information goes to a printer at node beta and if alpha establishes a virtual terminal connection with node gamma, the results of print commands entered on the alpha keyboard still print at beta. Furthermore, this occurs regardless of the printing location configured for node gamma.

Configures data transmission parameters for the control and auxiliary ports. The IPX, IGX, and BPX nodes support two EIA/TIA-232 serial ports on the upper bus expansion card. The top port is called the Control Terminal port. The lower port is called the Auxiliary Port (AUX). Parameters can vary with the equipment connected to the port. The control port may connect to a control terminal, a direct-dial modem, or an external EIA/TIA-232 device. The auxiliary port may connect to either a printer or an external EIA/TIA-232 device. After you have set the data transmission parameters for a port, use the superuser command cnftermfunc to specify the equipment attached to the port. The configuration parameters must match the equipment physically attached to the port.

Deletes an interface shelf from a tiered network. The identifier for an interface shelf is either the trunk number or the name of the shelf. Normally, you execute delshelf only at the hub node, but on the IPX/AF or IGX/AF itself, delshelf has the single function of letting you turn off LMI if the trunk is not allowing communication. In contrast to the deltrk command, you can execute delshelf at any time if no connections terminate at the trunk.

This command disables the Y redundancy for the card set in the specified primary slot number. If the secondary card slot is being used as the active slot at the time you use the delyred command, the system attempts to switch back to the primary slot. The substitution takes place only if the primary slot has a complete set of cards and the cards are in a Standby or a Standby-F state (not if they are Failed). See the dspcds description for information on card states. See the addyred and dspyred commands for more information on Y-cable redundancy.

Displays the cards in a shelf, front and back, with their type, revision, and status. For front and back card sets, the status field applies to the cards as a set. A letter "T" opposite a card indicates that it is running self-test. A letter "F" opposite a card indicates that it has failed a test. If lines or connections have been configured for a slot, but no suitable card is present, the display will list the missing cards at the top of the screen. If a special backplane is installed or if a card was previously installed, empty slots are identified as "reserved."
For a two-shelf node, the screen initially displays only the upper shelf with a "Continue?" prompt. Typing "y" to the prompt displays the cards in the lower shelf. The command dspcds followed by the letter "L" (for lower shelf) displays card status for just the lower shelf. For an IPX 8 or IGX 8 node, the card information appears in only the left column. The status and update messages are as follows:
· Active | Card in use, no failures detected. |
· Active—F | Card in use, failure(s) detected. |
· Active—T | Card active, background test in progress. |
· Active—F-T | Card active, minor failures detected, background test in progress. |
· Standby | Card idle, no failures. |
· Standby—F | Card idle, failure(s) detected. |
· Standby—T | Card idle, background test in progress. |
· Standby—F-T | Card idle, failure(s) detected, background test in progress. |
· Failed | Card failed. |
· Down | Card downed by user. |
· Down—F | Card downed, failure(s) detected. |
· Down—T | Card downed, failure(s) detected, background test in progress. |
· Mismatch | Mismatch between front card and back card. |
· Update * | Configuration RAM being updated from active control card. |
· Locked* | Old software version is being maintained in case it is needed. |
· Dnlding* | Downloading new system software from the active PCC adjacent node of from StrataVIew Plus. |
· Dnldr* | Looking to adjacent nodes or StrataView Plus for either software to load or other software needs you have not specifically requested. |
In the preceding messages, an asterisk (*) means an additional status designation for BCC, NPC, or NPM cards. "F" flag in the card status indicates that a non-terminal failure was detected. Cards with an "F" status are activated only when necessary (for example, when no other card of that type is available). Cards with a "Failed" status are never activated.

-p | Specifies that the display include the type of controller card in the node. The types are BCC, NPM, and so on. |
-d | Specifies that the display include the type of node for each named node. The type is either "IPX," "IGX," or "BPX." |
domain number | Specifies the number of a domain to display. The range for domain number is 1-8. Only the nodes within the specified domain are displayed. If the number does not match a valid domain number, the following message appears: "No domain with this number." |
Displays a summary of the interface shelves.
The dspnode command can isolate the shelf where an alarm has originated. For example, when you execute dspalms, the display indicates the number of shelves with alarms but does not identify the shelves. Therefore, execute dspnode on the hub node to determine which interface shelf generated the alarm.
The first example shows a screen display with dspnode executed on a BPX node. The second example shows a screen with dspnode executed on an IGX/AF. When executed on an IPX/AF or IGX/AF, dspnode shows the name of the hub node and the trunk number. Note that, to execute a command from an IPX/AF or IGX/AF itself, you must either telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to the shelf.

Provides an interface to an external device. To establish a session with an external device, first use the cnftermfunc command to designate the port to serve as the external device window. To begin the session, enter the window command and specify the port. The control terminal screen subsequently clears, after which characters entered at the control terminal go to the external device and vice versa.
Because the IPX, IGX, and BPX nodes "bundle" characters together before transmitting them, a slight transfer delay occurs. Transfers are delayed until the transfer buffer is filled or the keyboard is inactive for over 50 milliseconds. To end the session, enter the escape sequence designated with the cnftermfunc command. The default for the escape sequence is ^^ (SHIFT 66).
The window command can be executed over a virtual terminal connection. This makes it possible to control all external devices from a single point in the network.
