Before You Begin; Using The System Configuration Dialog - Cisco 6160 Installation Procedures Manual

Installation Procedures

4.2.15.1 Before You Begin

Complete the following steps before you run the System Configuration Dialog.
Determine the IP address for the Ethernet interface.
Step 1
If you plan to configure in-band management, also determine the IP address for the ATM interface that
Step 2
will be used for in-band management (ATM0/0).
Find out what the password strategy is for your environment. The System Configuration Dialog prompts
Step 3
you for three passwords, plus an SNMP community string. The three types of password required are
enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal.
Step 4 Choose a name for the Cisco 6160. (This step is optional.)

4.2.15.2 Using the System Configuration Dialog

When you power up a Cisco 6160 for the first time, you are offered the option of running the System
Configuration Dialog. The System Configuration Dialog offers two configuration options: basic
management setup and extended setup.
•
•
An example of the use of each option follows the
4.2.15.2.1 Interface Numbering
The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface
numbering scheme:
•
•
•
For line card interfaces, the number before the slash indicates the slot number. The number after the slash
indicates the interface or port number. For example, ATM6/4 is port 4 in slot 6.

Choose basic management setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure
the passwords and the Ethernet interface only, and then use the management station or the command
line interface to configure the remaining Cisco 6160 interfaces.
Choose extended setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure all of the
Cisco 6160 interfaces.
Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM0" (ATM0/1, ATM0/2, and so forth) are NI-2 card WAN
interfaces. ATM0/0 is the ATM switch interface with the processor (sometimes referred to as the
ASP interface, for ATM switch/processor). There is no need to configure ATM0/0 unless you plan
to use in-band management. ATM0/1 is the trunk port. ATM0/2 and ATM0/3 (if present) are
subtending interfaces. For DS3+T1 with a DS3 WAN interface, ATM0/1 is the trunk port. ATM0/2
through ATM0/9 are subtending interfaces. For a T1 WAN interface using a DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2
card, one port from ATM0/2 through ATM0/9 can be the trunk, and the other seven can be
subtending interfaces. For IMA group interfaces DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card, one port from
ATM0/ima0 through ATM0/ima3 can be the trunk port, with the other three being possible
subtending interfaces.
Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM1" through "ATM34" are line card interfaces. (ATM10 and
ATM11, which would indicate the NI-2 slots, are omitted.)
Ethernet0/0 is the interface for the LAN that connects the Cisco 6160 to its management system.
