Connecting, Configuring, and Upgrading the CMP


This chapter explains how to connect and configure the Connectivity Management Processor (CMP) on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device. It also explains how to update the software image for the CMP.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Connecting to the CMP MGMT Ethernet Port

Configuring the CMP

Verifying the CMP Configuration

Upgrading the CMP Image

Default Settings for CMP Parameters

Connecting to the CMP MGMT Ethernet Port

To connect the CMP to the network, follow these steps for each installed supervisor:


Step 1 Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port on the supervisor.

Step 2 Route the cable through the central slot in the cable management system on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the networking device.


You configure the cmp-mgmt interface during the initial setup script on the CP when you first configure your device. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 4.1 for details on the setup script.


Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the CMP MGMT port to the network until the initial configuration is complete. For more information on Ethernet connections and cable management, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Hardware Installation and Reference Guide.

Configuring the CMP

This section includes the following topics:

Accessing the CMP from the CP

Logging Out of a CMP Session

Configuring the CMP-MGMT Interface

Configuring an IPv4 Access Control List on the CMP

Logging CMP Messages

Changing the Communication Settings

Configuring Flow Control

Configuring CMPs on a Dual Supervisor System

Accessing the CMP from the CP

You can access the CMP through a console, SSH, or Telnet session with the CP.


Note To access the CMP by SSH or Telnet, you must enable those sessions on the CMP (by default, the SSH server session is enabled). To enable or disable SSH or Telnet sessions, see Table 1-2 on page 1-3.


BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Ensure that you are in the default VDC (or use the switchback command).

Note If you are in an attached console session, use the ~, command to exit the CMP.


Configuring the CMP-MGMT Interface

You must configure the CMP-MGMT interface before you can connect to the CMP through a SSH or Telnet session.


Note Unlike when you configure the CP, you do not need to use the copy running-config startup-config command configuring the CMP-MGMT interface. Each time that you enter a command when configuring the CMP-MGMT interface, the Cisco NX-OS operating system saves the configuration changes on the CMP flash drive.


The following sections explain each of the different ways that you can configure the CMP-MGMT interface:

Using a Setup Script on the CP to Configure the CMP-MGMT Interface

Using the NX-OS CLI on the CP to Configure the CMP-MGMT Interface

Using the NX-OS CLI on the CMP to Configure the CMP-MGMT Interface

Using a Setup Script on the CP to Configure the CMP-MGMT Interface

The Cisco NX-OS setup script guides you through configuring the CMP-MGMT interface. To use this script, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 4.1.

Using the NX-OS CLI on the CP to Configure the CMP-MGMT Interface

You can use the NX-OS CLI on the CP to configure the CMP-MGMT interface.

Example:

switch-cmp(config-if)# show running-config

(Optional) Displays the CMP configuration.

Logging CMP Messages

You can save up to 256 CMP messages in a log file, and you can specify a severity threshold for the messages saved. When the file has 256 messages, the CMP automatically removes the oldest message whenever it saves a new message. Table 1 describes the message levels and types of messages that the CMP saves. When you specify a severity level, the CMP saves messages for that level and all levels below it in the log file.

Table 1 CMP Message Severity Levels

Configuring CMPs on a Dual Supervisor System

The CMP runs in active mode on both supervisor modules, even when only one supervisor module is active, so you must configure each CMP individually. You can configure the unique IP address for each CMP from the active CP by using NX-OS commands through either the CLI or scripts. To perform all other CMP configuration functions, connect directly to the CMP you are configuring to perform those functions.

Verifying the CMP Configuration

To display CMP configuration information from the Cisco NX-OS CLI on the CP, use the following commands:

Command
Purpose

show running-config cmp

Displays the running configuration for the CMP.

show startup-config cmp

Displays the startup configuration for the CMP.

show tech-support cmp

Displays the technical support output for the CMP.

show logging logfile | include cmp

Displays the logs for the CMP.


To display CMP configuration information from the CMP CLI, use the following commands:

Command
Purpose

show attach sessions

Displays information about active or suspended attach or monitor sessions.

show hardware

Displays information about the CMP hardware.

show interface

Displays information about the cmp-mgmt interface.

show logs

Displays the CMP syslog messages.

show processes

Displays information about the CMP processes.

show running-config

Displays the running configuration for the CMP.

show sprom

Displays the SPROM contents on the CMP.

show ssh

Displays information about SSH on the CMP.

show system resources

Displays information about CMP system resources

show users

Displays the users logged into the system.

show version

Displays the software image versions for the supervisor CP and the CMP.


Upgrading the CMP Image

You can upgrade the CMP image, which is part of the Cisco NX-OS system image and contains a subset of commands to support the CMP features.


Note The CMP image is independent of the CP image, so the version of the CMP image might not match the version of the CP image. To make sure that the CMP is running the latest compatible image, use the install all command from the Cisco NX-OS CLI on the CP.


To upgrade the Cisco NX-OS kickstart image, system image, and CMP image at the same time, use the install all command from the Cisco NX-OS CLI on the CP. This command automatically upgrades the software on both CMPs. After the software is upgraded, you must manually reload the CMP on each supervisor. For more information on software images, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Software Upgrade and Downgrade Guide, Release 4.1.

Use the following procedure if you want to update only the CMP image.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Ensure that you are in the default VDC (or use the switchback command).
