Configuring Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge System

To bring up the Cisco ASR 9000 nV Cluster, you need to perform these steps outlined in the following
subsection.
•

Single Chassis to Cluster Migration

Before You Begin
Consider that there are two individual chassis running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.x image. Let us
refer them as rack0 and rack1 in these steps. If they are already running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1
or later, you can avoid the first two steps.
Step 1 You must turbo boot each chassis independently with the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1.
Step 2 Upgrade the field programmable devices (FPDs).
This step is required because Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge requires at least the RSP rommons to be corresponding
to the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1.
Step 3
Collect information about the chassis serial number for each rack that is to be added to the cluster.
On an operating system, you can get this from show inventory chassis command. On a system at rommon, you can get
the serial number from bpcookie.
Step 4
In order to setup the admin configuration on rack0, enter the following and commit:
a) (admin config) # nv edge control serial <rack 0 serial> rack 0
b) (admin config) # nv edge control serial <rack 1 serial> rack 1
c) (admin config) # commit
Step 5
Reload Rack 0.
Step 6 Boot the RSPs (if you have two) in Rack 1 into the ROMMON mode. Change the ROMMON variables using these
commands:
a) unset CLUSTER_RACK_ID
b) unset CLUSTER_NO_BOOT
c) unset BOOT
d) sync
Step 7 Power down Rack 1.
Step 8 Physically connect the routers. Connect the inter chassis control links on the front panel of the RSP cards (labelled SFP+
0 and SFP+ 1) together. Rack0-RSP0 connects to Rack1-RSP0, and similarly for RSP1.
You do not need any explicit command for inter-chassis control links and it is on by default. You can verify the connections
once Rack 1 is up using the show nv edge control control-link-protocols loc <> command.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# show nv edge control control-link-protocols loc 0/RSP0/CPU0
