Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MGC Node Manager
Performing a New Installation of the Cisco MGC Node Manager
Installing the Cisco EMF SSH Add-On Package
To enable SSH support on Cisco MGC Node Manager, you install the CEMF strong cryptographic
add-on package.
Note We recommend installing SSH on Cisco MGC Node Manager and Cisco VSPT before installing it on
the Cisco PGW, so that you can use the element managers to monitor the installation process on the PGW
and other managed components.
Step 1 Download the CEMF Crypto Add-on Package Software and the CEMF Crypto Add-on Package
Installation Guide available from the network management download page
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-netmgmt.shtml under Cisco Element Management
Systems - CEMF Strong Cryptographic Software. You must have authorization to download
cryptographic software; if you do not, you are automatically redirected to an authorization request page.
Step 2 Follow the installation instructions in the CEMF Crytpo Add-on Package Installation Guide.
Note Make sure the entry of SSH exits in the /etc/services (on the machine where the MNM is
installed).
Caution Using # character in the /etc/motd banner may cause problems in the SSH connectivity as
these #’s interfere in the expect scripts used in the MNM. In case you face problem using SSH
with CEMF Crypto Add-on package installed and the SSH entry in the /etc/services file,
please try removing your motd banner.
Starting Cisco EMF
Start Cisco EMF as described in the following procedure:
Step 1 Log in to the system where you installed Cisco EMF, and enter su - root to become the root user.
Step 2 Change to the CEMF bin directory by entering:
cd <CEMF_ROOT>/bin
Where <CEMF_ROOT> is the directory where Cisco EMF is installed.
Step 3 If the Cisco EMF background processes are not already running, enter:
./cemf start
Note Depending on your server, it may take 10-30 minutes for the Cisco EMF startup processes to
complete, with relatively longer startup if your database is new or has been reset.
