Installation and Configuration 87
3.7.1.1 Overview of the Steps to Configure a Media Card
A detailed discussion of these steps follows this overview.
1. Edit the SNMP configuration file and start the SNMP daemon on the SP
Switch Router.
2. Assign an IP address and other parameters to the SP Switch Router
Adapter interface.
There are two ways to configure these parameters:
• We recommend using the procedures documented in the "Managing
Extension Nodes" chapter of the
RS/6000 SP: Administration Guide
Version 2 Release 4,
GC23-3897.
• As an alternative, you can log in to the SP Switch Router and use a
UNIX editor to edit the /etc/grifconfig.conf file. These assignments are
entered in the SP Switch Router’s /etc/grifconfig.conf file:
• Interface name (gt0y0)
• IP address
•Netmask
• Broadcast address
• Argument (MTU size)
3. Change the default boot diagnostics and dump settings in profiles
(optional).
To change the defaults for one card, change the settings in the appropriate
Card profile; to change the defaults for all installed SP Switch Router
Adapter cards, change the settings in the Dump and Load profiles.
4. Run the
dev1config command while logged into the SP Switch Router.
View the /etc/grdev1.conf file to verify configuration data.
For the SP Switch Router Adapter card to operate, the SP Switch Router
requires a specific configuration file, /etc/grdev1.conf. The
dev1config
command creates this skeleton file using configuration information passed
to the router in either of two ways:
• We recommend using the procedures documented in the “Managing
Extension Nodes” chapter of the
RS/6000 SP: Administration Guide
Version 2 Release 4,
GC23-3897 to install the parameters. (This is the
same configuration information as described in the recommended
method of step 2.) These parameters will only be available to
dev1config
after
the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the
SP Switch.
