This section describes how to perform the initial configuration on the CMP servers in your system.
To perform the initial configuration of the system:
- Log in to the platcfg utility using one of two methods, either from the system console using root or through an SSH remote session using admusr.
- To access the platcfg utility from the system console:
- Log in as root.
- Enter su - platcfg.
- To access the platcfg utility through an SSH remote session:
- Log in as admusr.
- Enter sudo su - platcfg.
Note: The dash (-) is required in the su - platcfg or the sudo su - platcfg command to ensure proper permissions.
- Select Policy Configuration from the Main Menu screen and press Enter.
- Select Perform Initial Configuration from the Policy Configuration Menu screen and press Enter.
The Initial Configuration screen opens.
- Enter values for the configuration fields in the Initial Configuration screen, which will include some of the following:
- HostName—The unique name of the host for the device being configured.
- OAM Real IP Address—The IP address that is permanently assigned to this device.
- OAM Real IPv4 Address—The IPv4 address that is permanently assigned to this device.
- OAM Default Route—The default route of the OAM network.
- OAM IPv4 Default Route—The IPv4 default route of the OAM network.
- OAM Real IPv6 Address—The IPv6 address that is permanently assigned to this device.
- OAM IPv6 Default Route—The IPv6 default route of the OAM network.
- NTP Server (required)—A reachable NTP server on the OAM network.
- DNS Server A (optional)—A reachable DNS server on the OAM network.
- DNS Server B (optional)—A second reachable DNS server on the OAM network.
- DNS Search—A directive to a DNS resolver (client) to append the specified domain name (suffix) before sending out a DNS query.
- Device—The bond interface of the OAM device. Note that the default value should be used, as changing this value is not supported.
- OAM VLAN—The OAM network VLAN ID (only applies to c-Class servers or X5-2 RMS; field is not available to edit otherwise).
- SIG A VLAN Id—The Signaling-A network VLAN Id (only applies to c-Class servers or X5-2 RMS; field is not available to edit otherwise).
- SIG B VLAN Id—The Signaling-B network VLAN Id (only applies to c-Class servers or X5-2 RMS; field is not available to edit otherwise).
- SIG C VLAN Id—The Signaling-C network VLAN Id (applies to c-Class servers, X5-2 RMS, VM; field is not available to edit otherwise).
- BackplaneDevice—The backplane bond interface of the OAM device.
- BackplaneIIpPrefix—The backplane bond interface IP Prefix of the OAM device.
Note: DNS Server and DNS Search are optional fields, but it is recommended to enter values for them.
Note: If you have the optional Ethernet Mezzanine card installed, you will be prompted to select a network layout after you perform the procedure detailed in
Setting the Policy Management Mode.
Note: If traffic segregation is available and is defined, the SIG-A and SIG-B interfaces will be segregated onto the optional second pair of 6120XG/6125XLG enclosure switches. Do not enable traffic segregation if a second pair of 6120XG/6125XLG enclosure switches are not available. Traffic separation information is set in the Set Policy Mode activities.
Note: Every network service and IP flow that is supported by IPv4 is also supported by IPv6. Either interface or a combination of the two can be configured.
- Select OK and the configuration is saved and applied .
The screen pauses for approximately one minute. This is normal behavior.
You have successfully set up the initial configuration.
If SIG-C is selected, proceed to the Add Route screen.
