Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface
Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface
The Fast Ethernet interface, or NME, on the active CPU switch module, named fastethernet 0, is the
management interface that allows multiple, simultaneous Telnet or SNMP network management
sessions.
You can remotely configure the Cisco ONS 15530 through the Fast Ethernet interface, but first you must
configure an IP address so that the active CPU switch module is reachable. You can configure the NME
interface two ways: manually from the CLI or by copying the configuration from the BOOTP server into
NVRAM.
For information on configuring the NME interface on the standby CPU switch module,
fastethernet-sby 0, see the “Booting from a TFTP Server” section on page 13-6.
Note Before you begin to manually configure an NME interface, obtain its IP address and IP subnet mask.
Also make sure the console cable is connected to the console port.
To configure IP access on the NME port fastethernet 0 from the CLI, perform these steps from the
console interface:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch> enable
Switch#
Enters privileged EXEC mode.
Step 2
Switch# show hardware Verifies the installed hardware part numbers and serial
numbers.
Step 3
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 4
Switch(config)# enable password [level
level] password
Sets the enable password. You can specify one of 16
privilege levels, using numbers 0 through 15. Level 1
is normal EXEC-mode user privileges. The default
level is 15 (traditional enable privileges).
Step 5
Switch(config)# enable secret [level level]
password
Specifies an enable secret password. You can specify
one of 16 privilege levels, using numbers 0 through 15.
Level 1 is normal EXEC-mode user privileges. The
default level is 15 (traditional enable privileges).
Step 6
Switch(config)# privilege mode {level level |
reset} command-string
Configures or resets the privilege level to allow access
to a specific command.
Note Configure the password for a privilege level
defined using the privilege command with the
enable secret command.
Step 7
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0
Switch(config-if)#
Enters interface configuration mode on interface
fastethernet 0, the NME port on the active CPU switch
module.
Step 8
Switch(config-if)# ip address ip-address
subnet-mask
Specifies the IP address and IP subnet mask for the
management port interface.
Step 9
Switch(config-if)# speed {10 | 100 | auto} Specifies the transmission speed. The default is auto
(autonegotiation).
