Provisioning the BPX Switch

Provisioning is the general term for configuring ports, lines, trunks, and adding connections to the BPX
Switch.
Up to this point, you have used the command line interface (CLI) to perform the installation and
power-up. You could use the CLI to perform provisioning also.
However, that is an exacting and time-consuming approach for most general provisioning tasks. It is
recommended that you use Cisco Network Management, that is, the Cisco WAN Manager Workstation
and Cisco's graphical WAN Manager and CiscoView applications to configure ports, lines, trunks and
visually interconnect the BPX to your network topology.
For set-up and configuration procedures for Cisco Network Management, see Chapter 20, Configuring
Network Management.
For configuration procedures for the BPX switch, proceed to Chapter 17, Initial BPX 8600 Node
Configuration.
