Enabling Modules and Ports

Use the following procedure to ensure that all modules are configured and ports enabled:

Connect to console port as described in Access the Command-Line Interface over the Console Port.

Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears and then switch to Configure mode.

The GigaVUE‑HC1 node provides three command entry modes, each with increasingly powerful rights – Standard, Enable, and Configure. Module and port configuration commands are only available in Configure mode:

Type en <Enter> to switch to Enable mode.

The system prompt changes from [hostname] > to [hostname] #.

Type config t <Enter> to switch to Configure mode.

The system prompt changes from [hostname] # to [hostname] (config) #.

Use the following command to check module status:

(config) # show cards

Check the values in the Config Status and Oper Status columns for all modules and verify that they read Yes for configured and Up for inserted. This is your indication that the node is ready for further configuration.

If the Config Status does not show Configured for all modules after two minutes, take the action corresponding to your show cards output, as follows:

show cards Output:

Corrective Action

Config Status does not show Configured for any cards (including base chassis)

(config) # chassis box-id <integer>(config) # card all

Config Status shows Configured for base chassis but not one or more modules

(config) # card slot x

Note: If all modules are unconfigured, you can also use the card all command. If some cards are already configured, however (for example, because you just installed a new card), it is better to use slot x for the unconfigured cards.

The card command initializes the unconfigured module. However, it can only be used after the node’s box ID has been configured, as reported at the top of the show cards output (shown below).

Use the show cards command again to verify the following:

Box ID is not empty.

Config Status shows configured for all modules.

Oper Status shows up for all modules.

The show cards command output for a GigaVUE‑HC1 displays the properly configured modules.

HC1(config)# show cards

Box ID: 1

cc1   yes     up               HC1-Main-Board  132-00D6      1D60-1122   2.0-23

1     yes     up               HC1-X12G4       132-00D7      1D60-1122   2.0-23

2     yes     up               TAP-HC1-G10040  132-00D8      1D80-000B   2.0-78

3     yes     up               TAP-HC1-G10040  132-00D8      1D80-002B   2.0-78

Use the port command with the admin argument to enable the ports on the module. For example, the following two commands enable all ports on a TAP-HC1-G10040 module:

(config) # port 1/1/x1..x12 params admin enable

Save your changes so that the modules and ports come up automatically at the next reboot:

(config) # write memory
