Hardware Survey and Software Configuration
Worksheets
The worksheets in this chapter serve as a place to record the hardware installed in your switch and the
configuration planning decisions you make as you plan your software configuration. Instructions for
filling out the Hardware Survey worksheets appear in the
"Verifying the Hardware
Configuration"
section of
Chapter 2, "Configuring General Switch Features."
The information you need to complete the
software configuration worksheets appears in
Chapter 1, "Preparing for Configuration"
and in the Cisco
MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Hardware
Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5.
Cisco recommends that you make copies of these tables and fill them out for each card on your switch
as applicable. For example, if you have seven CESM cards on your Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) switch,
you should fill out the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) hardware survey worksheet once and the
CESM worksheet in
Table E-8
seven times.
Once you have filled out the appropriate worksheets for your MGX switch, you can refer back to them
to obtain information you need to complete configuration on your switch. You can also refer to these
worksheets to troubleshoot and modify the configuration of your MGX switch in the future.
You only need to complete the worksheets that apply to your switch and the cards you installed on your
Note
switch.
Hardware Survey Worksheets
The hardware survey worksheets provide space for you to note the types of front and back cards installed
in your switch and the redundancy relationships between them. The primary purpose of the survey
worksheet is to document which cards are installed in the switch and give you a chance to validate that
cards are installed in the correct locations and that back cards are compatible with front cards. The
"Verifying the Hardware
Configuration" section of
Chapter 2, "Configuring General Switch Features,"
describes how to use the switch software to locate the information needed in the hardware survey
worksheets.
