Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Configuration Guide
Release 5.0.10, OL-3845-01 Rev. B0, August 16, 2004
Chapter 2 Configuring General Switch Features
Initializing the Switch
Initializing the Switch
After you assemble a new switch, as described in the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX
8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5, you
must initialize the switch before you can configure it. Although PXM cards ship with the latest version
of boot firmware on the front card, the runtime firmware cannot be loaded until both front and back cards
have been installed. When you initialize the switch, you are configuring the switch to load a specific
runtime firmware version from the PXM hard disk.
A new switch must be initialized using a console port management session. A console port management
session requires a terminal or workstation with a serial connection to the Console Port (CP) port on the
PXMUI-S3 back card. Figure 2-1 shows how a workstation connects to a PXM45 UI-S3 back card.
Figure 2-2 shows how a workstation connects to a PXM1E UI-S3/B back card.
Note Note that some or all of the commands discussed in this section require SERVICE_GP or CISCO_GP
privileges. These privileges and the default user names and passwords for these privilege levels are
described in the “Adding Users” section, which appears later in this chapter.
