SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2

Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter
Step-by-step media card configuration

This section provides a configuration overview and the steps required to configure an SP 
Switch Router Adapter media card.

These are the 

/etc 

configuration files discussed in this chapter:         

grifconfig.conf

- 

identifies each logical interface on a media card       

snmpd.conf

- 

enables SNMP capabilities       

grdev1.conf

- 

configures SP Switch Router Adapter cards       

Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for templates of all configuration files. 

Steps 1 through 5 are described following this list.

Check SNMP in the SP Switch Router system.

Edit the SNMP configuration file and start SNMP daemon on the SP Switch Router.

Assign IP addresses  

Assign an IP address and other parameters to each SP Switch Router Adapter interface.    

There are two ways to configure these parameters:

a. We recommend using the procedures documented in the “Managing Extension Nodes” 
chapter of the PSSP Administration Guide. 

or:

b. As an alternative, you can log in to the SP Switch Router and use a UNIX editor to enter 
the address and other parameters in the 

/etc/grifconfig.conf

 file.

Change profile settings  (optional)

Change default boot diagnostics and dump settings in profiles.        

To change the defaults for one card, change settings in the appropriate Card profile.

To change the defaults for all installed SP Switch Router Adapter cards, change settings in 
the Dump and Load profiles.  

The default settings are:

–

enable/disable diagnostic boot sequence: 

default, off 

–

when to dump: 

default, at card reset or hang

–

additional dumps to save:

default, two

Default settings save the first dump of the day, the current dump, and the next two recent 
dumps.
