Configure Modules and Enable Ports

Modules must be configured and ports enabled before they can be used on the GigaVUE-HCT. Use the following procedure to bring up all modules and enable ports before starting to issue commands in the CLI:

1.   Connect to console port as described in the previous section.
2. Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears for the modules to be initialized and then switch to Configure mode.

The GigaVUE HC Series provides three command entry modes, each with increasingly powerful rights – Standard, Enable, and Configure. The jump-start script is only available in Configure mode:

a. Type en <Enter> to switch to Enable mode.

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

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

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

3. Reset the terminal settings to match the current window with the following command:

(Config) # terminal resize

4. Use the following command to check module status:

(Config) # show cards

5. Verify the following in the show cards output:
o   Box ID is not empty.
o   Config shows yes for all cards.
o   Oper Status shows up (or inserted) for all modules.
6. If Config does not show yes for all modules after two minutes, take the action corresponding to your show cards output, as follows:

show cards Output:

Corrective Action

Config does not show yes for any modules (including base chassis)

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

Config shows yes for base chassis but not one or more modules

(config) # card all

The card all command configures the node for all currently unconfigured modules. However, it can only be used after the node’s box ID has been configured as reported at the top of the show cards command output.

7. Use the show cards command again to verify the output.

The show cards command output for a GigaVUE-HCT displays the properly configured modules.

 

HCT (config) # sh card
Box ID: 5
Slot  Config Oper Status   HW Type          Product Code  Serial Num  HW Rev
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cc1   yes      up        HCT-Main-Board-HW   132-00HA     1HA0-0040   1.3-0f
1     yes      up        HCT-C02-HW          132-00HM     1HM0-0040   1.3-f
2     yes      up        TAP-HC1-G10040-HW   132-00D8     1D80-0016   2.0-22
 
8. Issue a show port command to determine the port numbers that need to be enabled.
9. Use the port command with the admin argument to enable ports on modules as well as ports on the base chassis. For example, the following command enables all ports on the 10Gb ports on the base chassis:

(config) # port 1/1/x1..x8 params admin enable

10. Save your changes so that the cards and ports come up automatically at the next reboot: 
(config) # write memory
