IBM 9077 SP Switch Router: Get Connected to the SP Switch

The arguments field is also used to specify ISO when an ISO address is
being added to an interface’s IP address. Specify the MTU value as

mtu xxxx

.

Leave the arguments field blank if you are not using it.

The following excerpt from our /etc/grifconf.conf file shows the format of an
entry:

As you can see, we used three interfaces and left out the specification for the
MTU size on the last two, as 4352 is the default for FDDI.

4.4.7 Specify FDDI Card Parameters

The following steps are, as mentioned, optional, and in an SAS environment
without optical bypass you can safely use the defaults.

If there is a need to set ports from SAS to DAS, refer to

GRF Configuration

Guide 1.4, GA22-7366, or look at the example in “Configuring SAS versus
DAS” on page 123 f
or quick help.

4.4.8 Installing Configurations or Changes

In the command line interface (CLI), which is the working environment on the
GRF with the

super>

prompt, use the

set

and

write

commands to install

configuration parameters onto the media card.

If you apply changes to files in the /etc directory, do not forget to issue

grwrite -v

to have these changes written to flash, so that they are still in

effect after a

reboot

of the GRF.

Additionally, when you enter configuration information or make changes, you
must also reset the media card for the changes to take place. Enter

grreset <slot_number>

to do so.

Hint: We found that some changes did not go into effect until the GRF was
rebooted, although the documentation indicated otherwise. So do not hesitate
to

reboot

if things seem not to work as they should.
