Chapter2 Basic NSP Configuration
Network Management Ethernet Interface
Enabling NME Consolidation on the NRP
In addition to configuring the NSP for NME consolidation, you must configure the NRP Ethernet
interfaces to also support NME consolidation. Complete the following steps, beginning in global
configuration mode:
Example—NME Consolidation Configuration on the NRP
!
interface ethernet 0/0/0
no ip address
!
interface ethernet 0/0/1
ip address 172.20.40.10 255.255.255.0
!
Enabling a Separate NME Interface
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)DB and earlier images do not support NME consolidation. You must
configure the NSP Ethernet interface as a separate NME interface that is unable to handle network
management of the NRPs in the Cisco 6400 system.
Enabling the NME on an NSP Running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)DB or Earlier
Complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:
Example—Separate NME
In the following example, the NSP is configured to use the separate NME interface:
!
interface ethernet 0/0/0
ip address negotiated
Command Purpose
Step1
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0/0
Selects the Ethernet 0/0/0 interface.
Step2
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Removes the IP address from the interface.
Step3
Router(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/0/1
Selects the Ethernet 0/0/1 interface.
Step4
Router(config-if)# ip address address subnet
Configures a static IP address and subnetwork
address. Use the same subnet from the
Ethernet0/0/1 interface on the NSP.
Command Purpose
Step1
Switch(config)# interface ethernet 0/0/0
Selects the NME interface to be configured.
Step2
Switch(config-if)# ip address address subnet
or, if using DHCP,
Switch(config-if)# ip address negotiated
Configures a static IP address and subnetwork
address.
Enables the interface to obtain an IP address,
subnet mask, router address, and static routes
from a DHCP server.
