Connecting DC Power to the Cisco 10000

This section describes how to connect the Cisco 10000 to a -48 VDC power source. The power connectors are pillar terminals on the backplane. For full power redundancy, each set of DC power connectors (terminal blocks labeled A and B) must be connected to separate power sources. If you do not require power redundancy, you can use only one set of terminals---either the A terminal block or the B terminal block. Do not use one of each.

Note If you are using AC PEMs, see the "Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port" section.
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and the heat can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Note Be sure that you have connected the chassis to earth ground as described in the previous section before beginning this procedure.

Connecting AC Power to the Cisco 10000

The Cisco 10000 can be powered directly from the facility VAC input through the AC PEM (100-240VAC). The AC PEM is provided with an IEC 320 250V, 20A power cord with a male type connector (16A rating for Europe) for the attachment of power cords used throughout the world.

Caution The 20A connector on the AC PEM is incompatible with the 15A power strips that are used in most equipment racks. Wiring codes prevent the AC-input power cable from being used with the power strips in equipment racks.
Note The AC power cord that connects to the PEM power cord and then to the building VAC is not shipped with the Cisco 10000. You must order this power cord separately.

There are five styles of AC-input power supply power cords available (differing in plug type); make sure you have the correct style for your site (see Figure 3-22 and Table 3-3.) All AC-input power supply power cords measure 14 feet (4.3 m). Cisco recommends that you:

Figure 3-29: Alarm Indicator Wires Exiting Safety Cover


Step 8 Go to the "Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port" section to continue the installation.

Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port

The Cisco 10000 PRE module has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through use of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco 10000. The console cable kit contains:

A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).

Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a PRE module:

Note Each PRE must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the serial RJ-45 port (CON) on the PRE module (Figure 3-30).


Figure 3-30: Console Port Connection on the PRE Module


Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the RJ-45 adapter (Figure 3-31). If your terminal is equipped with a:

Step 3 Connect the adapter to your video terminal to complete the cable connection.

Step 4 Power on your video terminal.

Step 5 Configure your video terminal to match the following default console port settings:

Step 6 Go to the "Connecting Network Management and Signal System Cables" section to continue the installation.

Connecting Network Management and Signal System Cables

The Cisco 10000 has connections to both the internal Ethernet management network and the external data network.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when connecting external cables to the Cisco 10000:

Ethernet Network Management Cable Connections

The PRE module provides an Ethernet port to a LAN for a 10BaseT or 100BaseT connection for network management. Use the following procedures to connect the Cisco 10000 to an Ethernet network:

Note Each PRE must have an Ethernet port connection (typically to the same Ethernet hub) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.

Connecting to a 10BaseT Ethernet Network

To make this connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.

Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 10BaseT Ethernet LAN:

Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled ETH (Figure 3-32).


Figure 3-32: Connecting 10BaseT to Ethernet Port


Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.

Step 3 Check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE faceplate (next to the ETH) port.

This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 10BaseT Ethernet LAN.

Connecting to a 100BaseT Ethernet Network

To make this connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.

Caution If the Cisco 10000 is used in an environment in which lightning-induced transients are likely to couple to the signal lines, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100BaseT ports is highly recommended. In addition, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100BaseT ports is required to meet Bellcore GR1089 CORE Section 4.5.9 and ETSI Section 5.2.2.2 (intrabuilding lightning surge).

The RJ-45 port on the PRE is configurable for 100-Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation (half-duplex is the default) and supports IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with 100BaseT specifications.

Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 100BaseT Ethernet LAN:

Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled ETH (Figure 3-33).


Figure 3-33: Connecting 100BaseT to Ethernet Port


Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.

Step 3 Check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE (next to the ETH port).

This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 10BaseT Ethernet LAN.

Auxiliary Modem Connection

This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to the PRE for remote administrative access. Use the following procedure to connect the Cisco 10000 to a modem.

Step 1 Connect one end of the modem cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled AUX (Figure 3-34).


Figure 3-34: Connecting Modem Cable to Auxiliary Port


Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the cable to your modem.

Data Network Cable Connections

Use the following procedures to make cable connections to your Cisco 10000:

Channelized T3 Line Card Connections

The channelized T3 line card supports 6 channelized DS3 ports per card. The DS3 ports receive data through bayonet-style twist-lock (BNC) connectors on the backplane. Input to each pair of BNC connectors comes from two 75-ohm coaxial cables (Rx and Tx) that connect to each DS3 port on the line card. The BNC connectors align with the chassis slot the channelized T3 line card uses, and each port on the backplane is labeled as shown in Figure 3-35.

Warning The DS3 ports are not intended to be connected to cables that run outside the building where it is installed. For any connections outside the building, the DS3 ports must be connected to a network termination unit (NTU). NTU devices should comply with appropriate national safety standards such as UL 1950, CSA 950, IEC 950, and AS 3260.

Figure 3-35: Channelized T3 Backplane Connections


If you have completed all cable connections, go to Powering On the System to continue the installation. For additional connections, see the following list:

OC-12 POS Line Card Connections

The OC-12 POS line card provides a trunk uplink that supports up to 622 Mbps over a standard SONET/SDH interface using a single-mode intermediate reach SC fiber cable connector. For OC-12 POS line card cable specifications, see Table 1-4.

Warning Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Use the following procedure to connect the fiber cable to the OC-12 POS line card.

Step 1 Remove the protective cap from the OC-12/STM-4 fiber optic cable connectors.

Step 2 Attach the fiber optic cable to the OC-12 port receptacles being sure that you connect the Tx and Rx ends of the cable to the corresponding Tx and Rx connectors on the port (Figure 3-36).

Step 4 If you have completed all cable connections, go to the "Powering On the System" section to continue the installation. For additional connections, see the following list:

Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card Connection

The single-port gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides a trunk uplink running at 1 Gbps in full duplex mode to devices such as content servers and Web caches. The port uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports gigabit Ethernet rates on a variety of gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX). For a list of qualified GBICs and cable lengths, see Table 1-6.

Use the following procedure to install a GBIC and then connect a fiber cable to the GBIC.

Note If a GBIC is already installed in the GE line card, begin this procedure at Step 2.
Step 1 Insert the GBIC into the GE line card port until the tabs lock into place (Figure 3-38).

Note The GBIC is "keyed" and can only be fully inserted one way. If you can only insert the GBIC one quarter of the way into the port, remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it into the port.

Figure 3-38: Inserting the GBIC


Step 2 Remove the protective plug from the GBIC by pulling it off.

Warning Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Step 3 Attach the fiber optic cable to the GBIC port (Figure 3-39).


Figure 3-39: Connecting the Cable to the GBIC Port


Step 4 Run the cable through the cable bracket on the line card, through the bottom cable management bracket, and then out to the left or right of the chassis (Figure 3-40).

Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility

The first time you power on a Cisco 10000 ESR, the setup facility starts. You can also initiate the facility by running the setup command in privileged EXEC mode. This facility helps you enhance a default configuration that already exists on the Cisco 10000 ESR. The setup facility uses a question and answer sequence called the System Configuration Dialog to walk you through configuring the router.

You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.

Tips Basic configuration setup is often used as a quick way to achieve network connectivity, allowing you to retrieve a configuration file from a TFTP server.

Using the System Configuration Dialog

Use the System Configuration Dialog to help you perform a basic configuration. Proceed through the dialog by answering questions and then pressing the Enter key. In most cases, you can get additional information by entering a question mark (?). Throughout the dialog, default values are shown in square brackets [ ].

Tips If you have experience using Cisco routers, consider configuring the router by using the procedure described in the "Basic Configuration in Global Configuration Mode" section.

To cancel the configuration dialog, press Ctrl-C, or you can let the dialog help you perform one of two configuration types:

You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the command setup.

Basic System Configuration Procedure

Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration using the System Configuration Dialog:

Step 1 The dialog starts by asking if you want to continue with the configuration dialog. Enter Yes. To return to the enable prompt, enter No.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

Step 2 Enter Yes to perform a basic management setup. Enter No to perform an extended configuration setup.

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

Step 3 Specify a hostname. The hostname becomes part of the IOS prompt.

Enter host name [Router]: my-router

Step 4 Specify a secret password. It appears in encrypted form in the configuration file.

Enter enable secret: my_secret

Step 5 Specify the enable password. It is used if you did not assign a secret one.

Enter enable password: my_password

Step 6 Specify the password to use for telnet sessions.

Enter virtual terminal password: my_vt

Step 7 At the configure system management prompt, enter No.

Configure System Management? [yes/no]: no

Step 8 If you want to access the router using SNMP, enter Yes at the prompt:

Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]: yes

Step 9 Specify an SNMP community string.

Community string [public]: public

After you respond to the SNMP questions, the setup script lists the interfaces. For example:
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Ethernet0/0/0

unassigned

YES

unset

up

up

FastEthernet0/0/0

unassigned

NO

unset

up

up

Interfaces that are not okay (OK? = NO) do not have a valid configuration.

Step 10 To achieve network connectivity, enter the interface for the FastEthernet interface.

Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: FastEthernet0/0/0

Step 11 Accept the default value for the type of connector. RJ-45 is the only connector that can be used on the Cisco 10000 Ethernet port.

Configuring interface FastEthernet0/0/0:
Use the 100 Base-TX (RJ-45) connector? [yes]: yes

Step 12 Configure both the Cisco 10000 and the remote device to use the same mode.

Operate in full-duplex mode? [no]: no

Step 13 You must enter the IP address to achieve network connectivity.

Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes

Step 14 Specify the IP address.

IP address for this interface: 172.27.48.209

Step 15 Enter the subnet mask for the IP address.

Subnet mask for this interface [255.255.0.0] : 255.255.0.0

The system displays the information you entered as well as several default commands, such as the no shutdown command. For example:

The following configuration command script was created:
hostname c10000
enable secret 5 $1$uror$EFU0hKOBQXhk975qKFZlL0
enable password lab
line vty 0 4
password lab
no snmp-server
!
no ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet0/0/0
no shutdown
media-type 100BaseX
half-duplex
ip address 172.27.48.209 255.255.0.0
!
end

Step 16 The setup script concludes by giving you the choice to exit without saving, start the setup script, or save the configuration file:

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.
[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.
[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.
 
Enter your selection [2]:

Step 17 After you complete the configuration dialog, enter global configuration mode and enable ip routing by entering the ip routing command:

router(config)#ip routing

Basic Configuration in Global Configuration Mode

The following command sequence allows you to perform a configuration similar to that generated by the setup command.

Router>configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname c10000
Router(config)#enable secret my_router
Router(config)#enable password my_rtr
Router(config)#snmp-server community public
Router(config)#ip routing
Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0/0
Router(config-if)#no shutdown
Router(config-if)#media-type 100BaseX
Router(config-if)#half-duplex
Router(config-if)#ip address 3.5.3.45 255.255.0.0
Router#copy running-config startup-config

You can now configure the line cards. For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the Cisco 10000 ESR Software Configuration Guide.

Formatting Flash Memory Cards and Disks

The Flash memory disk card that shipped with your router contains the default Cisco IOS image for booting your router. This section explains how to format an ATA flash disk, modify its contents, or resolve a problem with the card.

Caution The formatting procedure erases all information on a Flash memory disks or cards.

Flash memory ATA disks and Flash memory cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash memory ATA disks while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory cards.

Use the following procedure to format a Flash memory disk:

Step 1 Ensure there is a Flash memory disk in PCMCIA slot 0 or slot 1 of the PRE.

Step 2 Enter the format diskn: command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt to format the disk.

The following example shows the display after you enter the format disk0: command:

Router# format disk0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewdisk
Formatting sector 1
Format device slot0 completed
Router#

The Flash memory disk is now ready for use.

Predeployment Testing


Laboratory testing is a prerequisite for new equipment deployment. The aim of the testing is to certify the product for use in the network.

In the lab, the product is typically evaluated to

Labs have a certification plan for measuring product stability and interoperability. After the platform demonstrates that it can pass the certification plan, it is deployed.

During performance testing, lab personnel:
