Equipment And Resource Provisioning; Position-Dependent And Keyword-Driven Parameters - Cisco MGX 8850 Command Reference Manual

Equipment and Resource Provisioning

This chapter describes the commands that let you activate, configure, display, and delete resources at
various levels of the switch. These levels are:
•
•
•
•
The MGX 8850 node uses the concept of a bay. The bay refers to the back card position. The T3/E3,
OC-3, and OC-12 versions of the ATM Switching Service Module (AXSM) can have two back cards,
one in bay 1 (upper slot) and the second in bay 2 (lower slot). The MGX-AXSM-1-2488 (OC-48 AXSM)
can have a back card in bay 1 only. For further descriptions and illustrations of the card sets, refer to
Cisco MGX 8850 Hardware Installation Guide.

Position-Dependent and Keyword-Driven Parameters

A command can include parameters that are keyword-driven or position-dependent.
For position-dependent parameters, you must type parameters in the order they appear in the syntax
description or on-line help. To create a logical port, for example, the position-dependent syntax is:
addport <ifNum> <bay.line> <guaranteedRate> <maxrate> <sctID> <ifType> [vpi]
For a keyword-driven parameter, a keyword must precede the value. The keyword is preceded by a dash
and followed by the parameter (–timeout <secs>, for example). The order that you enter keyword-driven
parameters does not matter—although any preceding or succeeding, position-dependent parameters
must appear as they do in the command syntax description.
In the following syntax example, the command is to delete more than one connection at a time. The
mandatory, position-dependent connection identifier consist of a logical port (ifNum) and the VPI and
VCI of the first connection to delete. After the connection identifier, the line shows two optional,
keyword-driven parameters. These keyword-driven parameters let you enter the number of connections
to delete and specify verbose mode:
delcons <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num <num. conns to del>] [-verbose < 1 | 0 >]
