Configuring the Inter-Chassis Links and IP Connectivity
Inter-Chassis Links (ICLs) need to be explicitly configured, in order to indicate which satellite is expected to
be connected. You must also specify the access port, that is down-stream GigE ports, which crosslink up to
the Host through the configured ICL. In order to establish connectivity between the host and satellite, suitable
IP addresses must be configured on both sides. The satellite IP address is forwarded through the Discovery
protocol. The configuration is described in the section,
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies the loopback address for the interface.
Configures the host IP address on a loopback interface.
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit
changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
- Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running
configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the
router to EXEC mode.
- Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router
to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes.
- Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session
without exiting or committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the
running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.
