Step 4. Run dev1config to create grdev1.conf

SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2

 

2-31

          

The dev1config command creates configuration files that are necessary for the set up of your 
SP Switch Router Adapter card, including 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file. 

This command creates the 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file that contains the null values for the SP 

Switch Router Adapter MIB. Your SP Switch Router Adapter card configuration will fail if you 
do not run this command.

You cannot verify that the parameters have been set in 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 until 

after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch. 

There are two ways to get configuration parameters into the 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file.

This is the method recommended for configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter card. From a 
system point of view, it is appropriate to treat the SP Switch Router Adapter card as an 
extension node in the SP system. All configuration parameters should be entered using the 
SMIT panels.

Refer specifically to the “Managing Extension Nodes” chapter in the PSSP Administration 
Guide for information about setting up SNMP to monitor the SP Switch Router system and 
configure the SP Switch Router Adapter media card.  

This is the same configuration information as described earlier in Method 1 of Step 2. These 
parameters will only be available in the 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file after the SP Switch Router 

Adapter card is activated on the SP switch. 

On the SP Switch Router, edit the 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file to assign parameters to each 

logical SP Switch Router interface. These parameters are described on the next page. 

Remember that if you enter configuration information into SP Switch Router configuration 
files, you also need to access the SMIT panels and re-enter information those panels require.

You must run the dev1config command while you are logged on to the SP Switch Router. 
Log on and start the UNIX shell using the sh command: 

super> sh

#

Enter the dev1config command:

# dev1config

Then, after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch, use the vi editor 
command to open the 

/etc/grdev1.conf

 file and verify that it does contain the 

configuration data.
