Preparing AXSM Lines for Communication
This chapter describes how to prepare AXSM cards and lines for communications to other switches
using the command-line interface (CLI). It includes the following sections:
• Preparing for Provisioning, page 2-1
• Quickstart Provisioning Procedures, page 2-2
• General AXSM Provisioning Procedures, page 2-6
Note AXSM cards, lines, and ports can be configured using the Cisco WAN Manager application. For full
details on how to set up a connection through the Cisco WAN Manager, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager
User’s Guide, Release 15.1.
Note You can get information about most CLI commands by entering the command without parameters.
Ordinarily, experienced users can configure AXSM card connections using just the quickstart procedures
and the online help facilities. For a detailed description of the commands used in this chapter, refer to
Chapter 5, “AXSM Command Reference.”
Preparing for Provisioning
Before you begin provisioning line and ports on AXSM service modules, you need to initialize the cards
you plan to provision. Then you should develop and implement a plan for the card and line redundancy
options available for each service module. This plan determines how service modules and their back
cards must be installed in the chassis, and how lines must connect to the cards before software
configuration starts.
Without a plan developed for these services, a configuration change for any of these services has the
potential to interrupt service and can require substantial configuration teardown. Table 2-1 defines the
AXSM card redundancy and line redundancy support features, per available AXSM card models.
