Step 3:  

Configure the port as an access port and apply the QoS policy.

When deploying a dual-homed Nexus 2248, this configuration is 
applied to both Nexus 5548s.

Option 2.  Connect the MCU to a Catalyst 3750-X
To ensure that video traffic is prioritized appropriately, you must configure 
the Catalyst access switch port where the MCU is connected to trust the 
DSCP markings. The easiest way to do this is to clear the interface of any 
previous configuration and then, apply the egress QoS macro that was 
defined in the access-switch platform configuration of the SBA—LAN 

Deployment Guide.  

Step 1:  

Login to the Catalyst switch with a username that has the ability to 

make configuration changes. 

Step 2:  

Clear the interface’s configuration on the switch port where the VCS 

is connected.

Step 3:  

Configure the port as an access port on the same VLAN as the VCS 

and apply the Egress QoS policy.

Procedure 2 

Prepare the Cisco MCU platform

In the following steps, set the initial configuration by using a PC connected 
to the console port with a serial cable.

Step 1:  

Ensure power is connected to Cisco MCU and the Status LED is 

green. 

Step 2:  

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the Ethernet A port on the 

front of the unit to your network.

Step 3:  

Connect the console port of Cisco MCU to the serial port of your 

PC using the blue RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied.

Step 4:  

Use terminal emulation software such as PuTTY and configure the  

serial port on the PC as follows:

•  Baud rate—

38400

•  Data bits—

8

•  Parity—

none

•  Stop bits—

1

•  Flow control—

none

Step 5:  

Press 

Enter.

 The MCU command prompt appears on the terminal.

Step 6:  

Configure Ethernet Port A for auto-sensing. 

ethertype auto

Step 7:  

Assign a static IP address.

Step 8:  

Disconnect the serial cable and store it in a safe place.
