Entity-MIB.entPhysicalSerialNumber (SN) Administrator Access Method Beginning in Release 5, the Cisco MGX switch supports secure access for CLI management sessions. In prior releases the switch supported insecure Telnet access. The secure access feature encrypts the administrator’s user ID and password, and all session activity. As an administrator, you can now disable Telnet access to force all CLI management sessions to use the secure access method.

On Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) and Cisco MGX 8830 switches, clock source configuration is done on the PXM1E card and passed to other nodes over PXM1E lines. On Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45) and Cisco MGX 8950 switches, clock source configuration is done on a PXM45 card, and clock sourcing information is passed to other nodes over NNI trunks connected to service modules.
Switch 3. In this topology, all switches synchronize to the same clock source, and this configuration reduces the possibility that two switches might not be able to synchronize communications.

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.
At the workstation, enter the command that connects the terminal emulation program to another Step 3 computer. If the switch power is not on, turn on the switch power as described in the Cisco MGX 8850 Step 4 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5.

When idle, an SVC is taken down to save network bandwidth. Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) and Cisco MGX 8830 switches can use the PNNI protocol to determine how to set up SVCs through the network. Because the switch automatically sets up SVCs, you do not have to configure SVC routes.
For example, the Cisco MGX switches support UNI 3.1 communications, but if the CPE does not, you must select a signaling protocol (such as UNI 3.0) that is supported by both devices.

You need to complete this step for all nodes that will serve as PGLs or backup PGLs. Note 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...
Complex node representation provides information about multiple paths through external peer groups, and this gives source route nodes more choices when routing through external peer groups. For more information on complex nodes, refer to the Cisco PNNI Network Planning Guide for MGX and SES Products.
These SPTs can be divided into three groups as described in the Cisco PNNI Network Planning Guide for MGX and SES Products. Each group stores routes that are optimized for one of the following routing metrics: AW, CTD, or CDV. Within each group, tables are created for each CoS that uses the routing metric.
You can define the initial PNNI timer values and significant change thresholds of a PNNI logical node. Table 8-4 lists the parameter descriptions for the cnfpnni-timer command.

Cisco MGX switches use two different reroute methods for grooming connections. Prior to Release 5, Cisco MGX switches use only the hard reroute method. During a hard reroute, a connection that has been selected for grooming is disconnected, and then a new connection is built over a new route. The disadvantage to this approach is that the new connection is not validated before the original connection is released.

Softrerouting is disabled by default. For soft rerouting to work properly, you must enable soft rerouting and the nodes that host the master and slave endpoints must run Cisco MGX software Release 5 or later. The first time a connection is rerouted, the master endpoint queries the slave endpoint to determine if it supports soft rerouting.

Appendix C, “Supporting and Using Additional CLI Access Options.” Starting and Managing Telnet Sessions Between Switches The Cisco MGX switches support Telnet sessions between switches. For example, you can start a CLI session with one switch, Telnet to a second switch to view configuration information, then switch back to the first switch and continue that CLI session.
The Cisco MGX switches include a Telnet server that enables easy, insecure access from Telnet client software running on a workstation or on another Cisco MGX switch. When using Telnet to access a switch, all user ID, password, and session management information is transferred between the client and the switch using clear text.

Table 9-30 is always enabled and is the last authentication method attempted if it is not configured before the local or tacacs+ methods. This ensures that the user cisco can access the switch when the AAA servers are unavailable. To configure authentication, log in using a username with SERVICE_GP privileges or higher and enter the cnfaaa-authen command using the following format: M8850_LA.7.PXM.a >...
This configuration has no impact on existing sessions. Note that the example above did not configure the cisco authentication method, but this method is listed as the backup for the tacacs+ method in the Authentication Methods line. There is no need to enter the cisco method when it is the last method to be used.

Avoiding Command Mode Authorization Issues with RPM Cisco Route Processor Module (RPM) cards are router cards that can be installed in Cisco MGX switches. The switch has its own operating system and so does each RPM card installed in the switch.
Table 9-31 describes the possible options for the verifydiskdb check command. Cisco recommends that you run the disk verification utility during a time when there is minimal activity Note on the switch. Table 9-31 describes the possible options for the verifydiskdb check command.
