Quick-Start Guide This Quick-Start guide describes how to install and configure Remote Access Concentrator (RAC) hardware and software using factory defaults. After installing the RAC, you can customize it for your specific requirements. This guide is written for system administrators who install and maintain RACs and have knowledge of networking and networking protocols. You can choose either the quick-start procedure or the roadmap.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Table 1. 2 Quick-Start Tasks Task What is Performed What is Required 1 Order line provisioning from the telco Switch type and switch parameters that are supported by the RAC Determine IP addresses RAC IP address Subnet mask Broadcast address Preferred Load Host address Preferred Dump Host address Load/Dump Gateway address Determine boot sequence self or net Determine software image location oper.64.
Quick-Start Guide Task 1: Site Preparation Before installing and configuring a Remote Access Concentrator you need to have the following information: • Line provisioning • IP addresses • Boot sequence • Software image location Order Line Provisioning The lines are ordered through the telco before the RAC is installed. Typically this is done after the sales order is placed.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Boot Sequence You must decide which boot sequence you want to use (default is self). You can choose a network boot (net), self boot (self), or both. Typically, you select both (net and self). Software Image Determine the software image location (RAC or load host). The software image is shipped with the RAC and is stored in flash memory.
Quick-Start Guide The Model 8000 console terminal is configured as follows: • 9600 baud • 8 data bits • No parity • 1 stop bit • XON/XOFF flow control Detailed installation instructions are in the Nortel Networks 5399 Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide and Installing the Nortel Networks 8000 Access Switch. Task 4: RAC Configuration To configure the RAC, it must be in ROM monitor mode. Press and hold the Reset button on the Model 8000.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Set the Network Addresses This section uses the IP addresses established in Task 1. To set the network addresses: 1. At the ROM monitor prompt, enter addr and respond to the prompts as shown in the example. To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Return key. Note: For illustration purposes, this example shows a RAC on an Ethernet network with the IP address 192.9.200.62. The host system address is 192.9.200.55.
Quick-Start Guide Set the Operating Image The default operating image is shipped with the RAC and is stored in flash memory. Verify or set the operating image as follows: 1. At the ROM monitor prompt, enter image and respond to the prompts as shown in the example. To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Return key. monitor:: image Enter Image name [(ip) “oper.64.enet”, “OPER_64_ENET.SYS”]:: Enter TFTP Load Directory[““]:: Enter TFTP Dump path/filename::192.9.200.62.dump 2.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Enable the allow_snmp_sets Parameter If you plan to use the Config Utility to configure and manage the RAC, you must enable the allow_snmp_sets parameter. To enable this parameter: Note: If you do not plan to use the Config Utility, go to Step 3. 1. At the ROM monitor prompt, enter allow_snmp_sets. 2. Enter Y when you are asked if you want to enable this parameter. 3. Save the changes you made to the RAC: a.
Quick-Start Guide Task 6: Configure the Switch Type You must configure the switch type using the information collected in Task 1 before connecting the network cables to the WAN ports. To configure the switch type: 1. After the RAC boots, enter cli at the console monitor prompt. (If you are configuring a 5399, connect to the slot the 5399 is installed in using the Slot Selection menu before entering the cli command.) 2.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Task 7: Set Switch Parameters Using the switch parameters gathered from Task1, configure the switch. View the existing WAN parameters by entering sho wan=all all. Set the WAN parameters to be compatible with those provided by the telco. For information on setting WAN parameters, refer to Managing Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Using Command Line Interfaces.
Quick-Start Guide ACP Security on a Microsoft NT Server To setup ACP security on a Windows NT Server, you can use native NT user accounts. Each user must have local logon access rights and belong to a group that has global authentication. The NT server must also have access to the domain’s Primary Domain Controller (PDC). ACP Security on a UNIX Server To setup ACP security on a UNIX server, perform the following: 1. Log on to the UNIX server as superuser. 2.
Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches RADIUS Security With the RADIUS server up and running, find out the service ports that the RADIUS server is using. The service ports will usually be 1645/udp for authentication and 1646/udp for accounting. To set up RADIUS security: 1. Log on to the RAC as superuser and run admin. Enable security on the RAC by entering: admin: set annex enable_security y 2. Configure the RADIUS host. a. Set the RAC’s RADIUS host.
Quick-Start Guide 7. Leave cli security off so you can access the RAC from the console. admin: set port cli_security n 8. Set vcli security. admin: set annex vcli_security y 9. Reboot the RAC for the configuration changes to take effect. admin: quit annex# boot 10. After the RAC is rebooted, try to log on to the RAC through a telnet session.

Set up the RAC so that addresses are on the DS0s. admin: wan 1 admin: set wan=1 ds0=all remote_address 1 admin: reset wan Note: IP addresses are incremented from the starting IP address using an increment of 1. Addresses will be applied on all DS0s and will be used at random as the DS0s are used at random. Addresses are assigned to users once they dial in.
