Configuring Shelves
This chapter describes the procedures for creating and modifying shelves for two types of containers in Cisco Access Manager (CAM):
•
Shelf Configuration for Stacks
•
Each system is created in CAM by first creating a container (stack or System Controller), and then creating all of the shelves (access servers, routers, and switches) that make up that container. After you have finished creating each shelf, you can have CAM download to that shelf the configuration file based on your choices in the shelf creation process.
Note
You can modify containers and shelves to accommodate changes you make in your system or its network connections using procedures similar to those you used to create the containers and shelves. CAM also allows you to delete these shelves.
Shelf Configuration for Stacks
CAM allows you to configure shelves for stacks in the following ways:
•
Creating or Modifying a Shelf in a Stack
The following sections provide detailed procedures for creating or modifying shelves in a stack.
Note
The steps are:
1
2
3
4
5
You must supply information for all fields presented in bold in each dialog box. (Note that pull-down menus are disabled if your previous stack or shelf configuration choices make them unnecessary.)
CautionWe strongly recommend that you configure the Cisco 3640 (Console Management Shelf) first in a stack.
CautionWe strongly recommend that you delete the running configuration completely before adding a shelf.
CautionWhen you create or modify a shelf and download the configuration to the shelf, the previous configuration file on that shelf is erased and overwritten by the configuration based on the configuration template you select, unless a save of the previous configuration is explicitly specified during the operation.
Creating a Shelf in a Stack
To create a shelf in a stack:
Modifying a Shelf in a Stack
To modify a shelf in a stack:
Configure Shelf Global Information/Passwords
Configure the information in the Shelf Configuration dialog box (see ) as the first step in either the Create Shelf or Modify Shelf procedure. (See the following table for a detailed procedure for configuring this information.)
1
(Optional.) Enter a description of the shelf.
This description of the shelf is for your convenience. (64 character limit.)
2
(Optional.) Enter a serial number.
The serial number of the shelf. (32 character limit.)
3
Select a device type.
The device types displayed in this menu depend on two things:
•
–
–
–
•
–
–
–
–
4
Select a shelf number.
The shelf number is a unique identifier of the shelf indicating where it is located in the stack.
This pull-down menu displays only the shelf numbers that are available for the device type you are creating, and depends on the stack type and the shelves that you have already created in the stack.
Note
5
Enter a host name.
A case-sensitive, unique name for the shelf. The default host name contains the stack ID, the device type, and the shelf number. For example, s5AS01 would be the first Access Server Shelf in a stack with the stack ID s5.
6
(Optional.) Enter an original secret password.
When CAM enters the enable mode, if the secret password was preconfigured to the shelf, then it prompts CAM for the original secret password.
Note
7
(Optional.) Enter an original line password.
When CAM Telnets into the shelf, if the line password was preconfigured to the shelf, then it prompts CAM for the original line password.
Note
8
Continue with either the "Configure VPDN/Shelf Trunk Interface (Cisco AS5300 Shelves Only)" section or the "Configure the Shelf Addresses" section, depending on the kind of shelf you are configuring.
