Powering Up Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators

Powering Up Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators

Read the "Checklist for Power-Up" and perform the "Power-Up Procedure" starting on this page.

If you need to prepare your Cisco MC3810 series multiservice access concentrator for configuration through a Telnet connection, perform the procedure in the "Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address" section.

If you encounter any problems, see the "Troubleshooting" section.

Checklist for Power-Up

You are ready to power up a Cisco MC3810 series concentrator if it meets these requirements (described in "Installing Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators"):

Power-Up Procedure

Perform this procedure to power up your Cisco MC3810 series concentrator and verify that it goes through its initialization and self-test. When you are finished with this procedure, the Cisco MC3810 will be ready to configure for network interfaces and services.


Note   If your Cisco MC3810 is powered by a Cisco RPS, there is a 10-second delay after you turn the power switch ON, before power is supplied from the Cisco RPS.


Step 1  
Move the power switch to the ON position.

The green LED by the auxiliary port goes on and the fan operates.

The boot loader loads the system bootstrap code (boot image) into RAM. The bootstrap code performs a series of system diagnostic routines that check the functions of the CPU, memory, and system interfaces.

Messages similar to those shown below are displayed while the system checks are executed during a first-time power-up:

MC3810 CPU restarted, RSR=E8000000, reason(s):,
        loss of PLL,

         --- System Configuration Dialog ---
 
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:  
 
 

Note   If the rommon 1> prompt appears, your system has booted in ROM monitor mode. Follow the instructions in Appendix A, "Booting in ROM Monitor Mode," in the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator Software Configuration Guide before continuing with this procedure.

Step 2   If you are going to configure the Cisco MC3810 from a console (locally or remotely), see the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator Software Configuration Guide for the configuration instructions. If you are going to configure it remotely through Telnet, continue to the following section to set an Ethernet port IP address.


Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address

If you are going to configure the Cisco MC3810 remotely through an Ethernet connection, connect its Ethernet port (yellow) to a live Ethernet connection using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors; then use this procedure to set an IP address for the Ethernet port.

The starting point for this procedure is the System Configuration Dialog prompt (shown also on page 4-4):

--- System Configuration Dialog ---
 
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

Step 1   Terminate the System Configuration Dialog.

...
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]
 

Step 2   Press Return to terminate autoinstall and continue.

Several messages are displayed, ending with a line similar to the following:

...

Step 3   Press Return to bring up the Router> prompt.

...
flashfs[4]: Initialization complete.
Router>
 

Step 4   Enter privileged EXEC mode.

Router> enable 
Router#

Note   The default host name, "Router," appears as part of the system prompt. To change the host name to another name such as "Europa" that will then appear as the system prompt, enter hostname Europa after Step 5 at the global configuration prompt--Router(config)#.

Step 5   Enter global configuration mode.

Router# configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
 

Step 6   Set a password for the privileged EXEC mode.

Router(config)# enable password password 
Router(config)#
 

Step 7   Enter interface configuration mode.

Router(config)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)#
 

Step 8   Enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for your Ethernet port.

Router(config-if)# ip address IP-address subnet-mask
Router(config-if)#
 

Step 9   Activate the Ethernet port.

Router(config-if)# no shutdown 
 

Messages similar to the following appear:

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0, changed state to up
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Ethernet0, changed state to up
Router(config-if)#
 

Step 10   Return to global configuration mode.

Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
 

Step 11   Enter line configuration mode.

Router(config)# line vty 0 4 
Router(config-line)#
 

Step 12   Set a password for remote access to the Cisco MC3810.

Router(config-line)# password password 
Router(config-line)#
 

Step 13   Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Router(config-line)# end
00:23:41: SYS-5-CONFIG-I: Configured from console by console
 

Step 14   Press Return to bring up the Router# prompt.

Router#
 

Step 15   Save the configuration.

Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
 

Step 16   Press Return to confirm destination filename.

Building configuration...
[OK]
Router#
 

The Cisco MC3810 can now be remotely configured through its Ethernet interface. See the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator Software Configuration Guide for complete configuration instructions.
