Determining the

Configuration

Source

Table 3-1 shows how to determine the carrier configuration source

.

*

Use the SHOW DEVICE command to view the DIP configuration setting. Use the SET DEVICE

DIP_CONFIGURATION command to change the DIP configuration setting.

If the carrier does not have configuration settings stored in NVRAM, it uses default settings.

If the DMM detects a problem with the NVRAM configuration, it forces the carrier to use

default settings. For example, if you install the carrier with ports assigned to Ethernet_8 into an

ONcore hub model that does not support Ethernet_8. If the configuration problem is port

level, the DMM forces only the affected ports to use default settings.

The DMM must be fully initialized when you install the carrier module.

Selecting a Network

The Edge Router engine connects to an Ethernet network through a

backplane port on the ONcore carrier. A base engine installed in ONcore

carrier engine bay 1 uses carrier backplane port 1. A base engine installed in

ONcore carrier engine bay 2 uses carrier backplane port 5.

You can assign a carrier backplane port to:

One of eight Ethernet backplane networks

One of four Isolated backplane networks

For details on backplane networks, refer to the

ONcore Switching Hub

Installation and Operation Guide

(Document Number 17-00362-5).
