CHAPTER 5
Configuring the MGX RPM-PR
This chapter describes how to complete a basic configuration of the MGX Route Processor Module
(RPM-PR). It provides procedures for configuring ATM, Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet interfaces, as well
as, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). It also details how to make connections between an RPM-PR and
a PXM-45 and between other service modules or other RPM-PRs. The chapter contains the following
sections:
• Accessing the RPM-PR Command Line Interface
• Booting the

Chapter 5 Configuring the MGX RPM-PR Booting the RPM-PR To connect a modem to the auxiliary port on the RPM-PR, see Chapter 3, “Installing the MGX RPM-PR.” Booting the RPM-PR When the RPM-PR is booted, the boot image must be the first file in the bootflash. If the bootflash does not have a valid boot image as a first file, the card may not be able to boot and can result in bootflash corruption. If the bootflash is corrupted, you will have to send the card back for an external burn with a va

Chapter 5 Configuring the MGX RPM-PR Booting the RPM-PR RPM-PR Bootflash Precautions The RPM-PR bootflash is used to store boot image, configuration and “run time” files. The Flash stores and accesses data sequentially, and the RPM-PR boot image must be the first file stored to successfully boot the card. Erasing the boot image or moving it from the first position on the Flash will cause the card to not boot. The RPM boot image, which comes loaded on the Flash, will work for all RPM IOS ima

Physical port addresses specify the physical location of each interface port, regardless of the type, on the RPM-PR. In the RPM-PR, this address is composed of a two-part number in the form , as follows: •
