Description
Installation and Configuration of Line Card Chassis
The Cisco CRS-16-LCC-DRS-R is a line card chassis that is part of the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS) platform. The installation and configuration process of the CRS-16-LCC-DRS-R involves several steps, including preparing the chassis, installing the line card, configuring the line card, and verifying the configuration.
Preparing the Chassis: Before installing the line card, it is important to prepare the chassis. This includes checking the environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and power, to ensure they meet the specifications required for the line card.
Installing the Line Card: The line card is installed in the CRS-16-LCC-DRS-R by following these steps:
- Open the line card cage by pressing the release button on the front panel of the chassis.
- Place the line card into the cage, making sure to align the tabs with the grooves in the cage.
- Close the cage by pressing down on the front panel until it clicks into place.
Configuring the Line Card: The line card is configured using the command-line interface (CLI) or the web-based graphical user interface (GUI). The following steps outline the process for configuring the line card using the CLI:
- Connect to the CRS-16-LCC-DRS-R using a serial or Telnet connection.
- Enter privileged mode by typing the command “enable”.
- Enter configuration mode by typing the command “configure terminal”.
- Configure the line card by typing the appropriate commands, such as “interface”, “ip address”, or “no shut”.
Verifying the Configuration: The configuration of the line card can be verified using the CLI or GUI. The following steps outline the process for verifying the configuration using the CLI:
- Enter privileged mode by typing the command “enable”.
- Type the command “show interface [interface name]”. This command displays information about the specified interface, including its status, IP address, and other configuration details.
- Type the command “show interfaces status”. This command displays a list of all interfaces on the CRS-16-LCC-DRS-R, along with their status, type, and operational state.
