Preprovisioning Guidelines; Predefining Entities - Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR OS Interface Configuration Manual

Preprovisioning Guidelines

7750 SR-Series routers have at least two ports, either located on SF/CPM modules on the CCM or
integrated into the chassis (on the 7750 SR-1 and 7750 SR-c4 models), a console port and an
auxiliary port, to connect terminals to the router.
Configure parameters from a system console connected to a 7750 SR console port, using Telnet to
access a 7750 SR remotely or SSH to open a secure shell connection.

Predefining Entities

In order to initialize a card, the chassis slot, line card type, and MDA type must match the
preprovisioned parameters. In this context, preprovisioning means to configure the entity type
(such as the line card type, MDA type, port, and interface) that is planned for a chassis slot, line
card, or MDA. Preprovisioned entities can be installed but not enabled or the slots can be
configured but remain empty until populated. Provisioning means that the preprovisioned entity is
installed and enabled.

7750 SR OS Interface Configuration Guide
Pre-provision ports and interfaces after the line card and MDA types are specified.
Install line cards in slots with no preconfiguration parameters specified. Once the card is
installed, the card and MDA types must be specified.
Install a line card in a slot provisioned for a different card type (the card will not
initialize). The existing card and MDA configuration must be deleted and replaced with
the current information.
