Although you can assign hardware resources to MDCs before or after you start the MDCs, HP
recommends assigning MDCs resources before starting them.

Creating an MDC

Before creating MDCs, make sure the switch does not have LSU1TGS16SC cards.
To create an MDC:
Step
1. Enter system
view.
2. Create an
MDC.

Assigning hardware resources to an MDC

When you create an MDC, the system automatically assigns CPU, storage space, and memory space
resources to the MDC to ensure its operation. You can adjust the resource allocations as required.
An MDC needs interfaces to forward packets. However, the system does not automatically assign
interfaces to MDCs and you must assign them.

Assigning an interface card to an MDC

By default, an MDC can access only the resources on the MPUs; it cannot access any interface cards or
resources on the interface cards.
To assign physical interfaces to an MDC, you must assign the MDC the interface cards to which the
physical interfaces belong.
An interface card for the switch can be assigned to only one MDC.
To assign an interface card to an MDC:

Remarks
N/A
By default, there is a default MDC with the name Admin
and the ID 1.
The default MDC is system predefined. You cannot delete
it.
The MDC starts to work after you execute the mdc start
command.
