Connect Router to the Network

Note

The images in this chapter are only for representation purposes, unless specified otherwise. The chassis' actual appearance and size may vary.

Connecting a Console to the Router

Before you create a network management connection for the router or connect the router to the network, you must create a local management connection through a console terminal and configure an IP address for the router. The router can be accessed using remote management protocols, such as SSH and Telnet. By default, SSH is included in the software image. But telnet is not part of the software image. You must manually install the telnet optional package to use it.

You also can use the console to perform the following functions, each of which can be performed through the management interface after you make that connection:

configure the router using the command-line interface (CLI)
monitor network statistics and errors
configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent parameters
initiate software download updates via console

You make this local management connection between the asynchronous serial port on a Route Processor card and a console device capable of asynchronous transmission. Typically, you can use a computer terminal as the console device. On the Route Processor cards, you use the console serial port.

Note

Before you can connect the console port to a computer terminal, ensure that the computer terminal supports VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal emulation software makes communication between the router and computer possible during setup and configuration.

Before you begin

The router must be fully installed in its rack. The router must be connected to a power source and grounded.
The necessary cabling for the console, management, and network connections must be available.
- An RJ45 rollover cable and a DB9F/RJ45 adapter.
- Network cabling should already be routed to the location of the installed router.

Procedure

Step 1

Configure the console device to match the following default port characteristics:

115200 baud
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No parity

Step 2

Connect and RJ45 rollover cable to a terminal, PC terminal emulator, or terminal server.

The RJ45 rollover cable is not part of the accessory kit.

Step 3

Route the RJ45 rollover cable as appropriate and connect the cable to the console port on the chassis.

If the console or modem cannot use an RJ45 connection, use the DB9F/RJ45F PC terminal adapter. Alternatively, you can use an RJ45/DSUB F/F or RJ45/DSUB R/P adapter, but you must provide those adapters.

What to do next

You are ready to create the initial router configuration.

Connect the Management Interface

The Route Processor management port (MGMT ETH) provides out-of-band management, which lets you to use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage the router by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection with an RJ-45 interface.

Note

In a dual Route Processor router, you can ensure that the active Route Processor card is always connected to the network by connecting the management interface on both Route Processor cards to the network. That is, you can perform this task for each Route Processor card. When the Route Processor card is active, the router automatically has a management interface that is running and accessible from the network.

Caution

To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 100/1000 Ethernet port until the initial configuration is complete.

Before you begin

You must have completed the initial router configuration.

Procedure

Step 1	Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the MGMT ETH port on the Route Processor card.
Step 2	Route the cable through the central slot in the cable management system.
Step 3	Connect the other end of the cable to a 100/1000 Ethernet port on a network device.

What to do next

You are ready to connect the interface ports to the network.

Transceivers, Connectors, and Cables

Transceiver and Cable Specifications

To determine which transceivers and cables are supported by this router, see Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information.

To see the transceiver specifications and installation information, see Cisco Transceiver Modules Install and Upgrade Guides.

RJ-45 Connectors

The RJ-45 connector connects Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 6A foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the following module interface connectors:

Router chassis
- CONSOLE port
- MGMT ETH port

Caution

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

The following figure shows the RJ-45 connector.

Install and Remove SFP or SFP+ Modules

Before you remove or install an SFP or SFP+ module, read the installation information in this section.

Warning

Statement 1051—Laser Radiation

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Caution

Protect the line card by inserting a clean SFP/SFP+ module cage cover, which is shown in the figure below, into the optical module cage when there is no SFP or SFP+ module installed.

Caution

Protect the SFP or SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed. Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP or SFP+ modules, because the optics do not work correctly when obstructed by dust.

Caution

We strongly recommended that you do not install or remove the SFP or SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables that are attached to it because of the potential of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP or SFP+ module. Removing and inserting a module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert modules any more than is absolutely necessary.

Note

When installing an SFP or SFP+ module, you should hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the module snaps into the hole in the receptacle. The click indicates that the module is correctly seated and secured in the receptacle. Verify that the modules are seated and secured in their assigned receptacles on the line card by firmly pushing on each SFP or SFP+ module.

Bale Clasp SFP or SFP+ Module

The bale clasp SFP or SFP+ module has a clasp that you use to remove or install the module (see the figure below).

Attach the Optical Network Cable

Before you begin

Before you remove the dust plugs and make any optical connections, follow these guidelines:

Keep the protective dust plugs installed in the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and in the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
Inspect and clean the optical connector end faces just before you make any connections.
Grasp the optical connector only by the housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.

Note

The transceiver modules and fiber connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Note

The multiple-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors on the optical transceivers support network interface cables with either physical contact (PC) or ultra-physical contact (UPC) flat polished face types. The MPO connectors on the optical transceivers do not support network interface cables with an angle-polished contact (APC) face type.

Note

Inspect the MPO connector for the correct cable type, cleanliness, and any damage. For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document.

Procedure

Step 1

Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable MPO connectors and from the transceiver module optical bores. Save the dust plugs for future use.

Step 2

Attach the network interface cable MPO connectors immediately to the transceiver module.

Step 4	Slide the transceiver out of the socket.
Step 5	Place the transceiver module into an antistatic bag.

Connect Interface Ports

You can connect optical interface ports on line cards with other devices for network connectivity.

Disconnect Optical Ports from the Network

When you need to remove fiber-optic transceivers, you must first remove the fiber-optic cables from the transceiver before you remove the transceiver from the port.

Maintain Transceivers and Optical Cables

Refer to Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document for inspection and cleaning processes for fiber optic connections.

Create the Initial Router Configuration

Assign an IP address to the router management interface to connect the router to the network.

When you initially power up the router, it boots up and displays a series of configuration-related questions. You can use the default choices for each configuration except for the IP address, which you must provide.

Note

These routers are designed to boot up in less than 30 mins, provided the neighboring devices are in full-operational state.
When the router is powered on and the console port is connected to the terminal, the RP CPU messages are seen.
The Cisco 8608 router doesn't support BMC.

Before you begin

A console device must be connected with the router.
The router must be connected to a power source.
Determine the IP address and netmask that is needed for the Management interfaces: MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0 and MgmtEth0/RP1/CPU0/0:

Procedure

Step 1

Power up the router.

The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the router, and the software asks you to specify a password to use with the router.

Step 2

When the system boots up for the first time, the system prompts you to create a new username and password. The following prompt appears:



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system username. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--- Administrative User Dialog ---


Enter root-system username:
% Entry must not be null.

Enter root-system username: cisco
Enter secret:
Use the 'configure' command to modify this configuration.
User Access Verification

Username: cisco
Password:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#

Step 3

Enter a new password to use for this router.

The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if the system doesn't consider it as a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, ensure that it adheres to the following guidelines:

At least eight characters
Minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
Minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "AAA")
Doesn't contain recognizable words in the dictionary
Doesn't contain proper names
Contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
Contains numbers and letters

Note

Cleartext passwords can't include the dollar sign ($) special character.

Tip

If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software rejects that password. Passwords are case-sensitive.

When you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.

Step 4

Reenter the password.

When you enter the same password, the software accepts the password.

Step 5

Enter the configuration mode.

Step 6

Enter the IP address for the management interface. If using dual RPs, enter the IP address on both management interfaces.

Step 7

Enter a network mask for the management interface.

Step 8

Save your configuration.

Step 9

The software asks whether you want to edit the configuration.

no - select this option if you don't want to edit your configuration.

yes - select this option if you want to edit your configuration.

Note

We recommend that you configure the system location altitude for fan control. This configuration allows you to specify the chassis altitude, so the router can adjust the fan speed to compensate for lower cooling capability at higher altitudes. For more details, see the environment altitude command.

Verify Chassis Installation

After installing the chassis, use the following show commands to verify the installation and configuration in the EXEC mode. Any issue if detected, take corrective action before making further configurations.

Command

Description

show platform

Displays the state information of each card.

show redundancy

Displays the status of route processor redundancy.

show led

Displays LED information for the router, or for a specific LED location.

show hw-module fpd

Displays field-programmable device (FPD) compatibility for all modules or a specific module.

show alarms brief system active

Displays all existing alarms in the router.

show media

Displays the current state of the disk storage media.

show inventory

Displays information about the field replaceable units (FRUs), including product IDs, serial numbers, and version IDs.

show environment power

Displays the power usage information for the entire router.

show environment fan

Displays the status of the fan trays.

show environment temperature

Displays temperature readings for card temperature sensors. Each module has temperature sensors with two thresholds:

Minor temperature threshold – When a minor threshold is exceeded, minor alarm occurs and the following actions occur for all four sensors:
- Displays system messages
- Sends SNMP notifications (if configured)
- Log environmental alarm event that can be reviewed by running the show alarm command.
Major temperature threshold – When a major threshold is exceeded, a major alarm occurs and the following actions occur:
- For sensors 1, 3, and 4 (outlet and on board sensors), the following actions occur:
  - Displays system messages.
  - Sends SNMP notifications (if configured).
  - Logs environmental alarm event that can be reviewed by running the show alarm command.
- For sensor 2 (intake sensor), the following actions occur:
  - If the threshold is exceeded in a switching card, only that card is shut down.
  - If the threshold exceeds an active Route Processor card with HA-standby or standby present, only that Route Processor card is shut down and the standby Route Processor card takes over.
  - If you do not have a standby Route Processor card in your router, you have up to 2 minutes to decrease the temperature. During this interval, the software monitors the temperature every 5 seconds and continuously sends system messages as configured.

Note

Cisco recommends that you install dual Route Processor cards.
For some card temperature sensors, the temperature thresholds for both minor and major might display 'NA'. This is an expected behaviour and indicates that there are no alarms for those corresponding thresholds.

show environment voltage

Displays the voltage for the entire router.

show environment current

Displays the current environment status.

show platform domain

Displays the active and standby modes of Route Processor Cards and Switch Cards.

Note

If there's a mismatch of the interface state between the active and standby modes of the components that are available on the front of the chassis, the router generates an alarm. For information on components available on the front of the chassis, see Cisco 8600 Series Routers.

The following is an example of the alarms that are generated when there's an interface state mismatch between the active and standby modes for a component:
