Important safety instructions

The following safety instructions apply to the GRF router models GRF-4-AC, GRF-4-DC, GRF-16-AC, and GRF-16-DC except as noted:

Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the manual.

Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers and/or components may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

The maximum recommended ambient temperature for all GRF router models is 104˚ Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius). Care should be given to allow sufﬁcient air circulation or space between units when the GRF chassis is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient.

Slots and openings in the GRF cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, maintain a minimum of 4 inches clearance on the top and sides of the GRF 400 router, and a minimum of 6 inches on the top and sides of the GRF 1600 router.

Installation of the GRF 400 or 1600 in a rack without sufﬁcient air ﬂow can be unsafe.

If a GRF router is installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports.

- A fully loaded, redundant-power GRF 400 weighs 38.5 lbs (17.3 kg).

- A fully loaded, single-power GRF 400 weighs 32.5 lbs (14.6 kg).

- A four card, redundant-power GRF 1600 weighs 147 lbs (66.2 kg).

- A four card, single-power GRF 1600 weighs 127 lbs (57.2 kg).

The connections and equipment that supply power to GRF routers should be capable of operating safely with the maximum power requirements of the particular GRF model. In the event of a power overload, the supply circuits and supply wiring should not become hazardous.

Models with AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug - a plug which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.

Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the AC receptacle for the presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a qualiﬁed electrician has corrected the problem. Similarly, in the case of DC input power, check the DC ground (s).

If a three-wire grounding type power source is not av ailable, consult a qualiﬁed electrician to determine another method of grounding the equipment.

Models with DC power inputs must be connected to an earth ground through the terminal block Earth/Chassis Ground connectors. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation.

About This Guide

What you should know

Conﬁguring and monitoring the GRF requires that a Network Administrator have experience with and an understanding of UNIX systems, and the ability to navigate in a UNIX environment. Knowledge of UNIX, its tools, utilities, and editors is useful, as is experience with administering and maintaining a UNIX system.

Conﬁguring the GRF requires network experience and familiarity with:

– UNIX systems and commands – IP protocol and routing operations – IP internetworking

The Network Administrator must understand how TCP/IP internetworks are assembled; what interconnections represent legal topologies; how networks, hosts, and routers are assigned IP addresses and conﬁgured into operation; and how to determine and specify route table (routing) information about the constructed internetwork(s). Although not required, a high-level understanding of SNMP is useful.

The system can be reset by depressing the reset button, but a software command reset is preferable since it saves ﬁles and leaves the system in order.

LEDs provide status for control board and chassis components. The faceplate speaker functions as a typical PC speaker , it chimes

during system boot, for example. The control board has another component that sounds an audible alarm when the operating temperature level is exceeded.

The control board has temperature monitoring (sensor) and reporting (alarm) capabilities. The router management software provides a command (temp) to check the current board-surface operating temperature. If excessive temperature levels are reached, the router management software triggers the control board’s audible alarm. If levels are exceeded, the management software will shut the system down. The management software also monitors the power supply units, issuing power failure warnings to the user interface via grconslog if power problems are detected. The LEDs do not reﬂect the actual location of power supplies in the chassis: power supply 2 is on top, power supply 1 is on the bottom.

A 10/100 megabit Ethernet receptacle (autosensing) supports a connection to the administrative LAN. A set of four LEDs indicate status (Link OK), activity (XMT ACT, RCV ACT), and connection rate (if 100 Mbs).

TheVT-100 terminal attaches to the serial port.

Switch control

Each media card is on a switch port. Switch control manages media card requests to connect through the switch to the switch port occupied by a destination media card. Switch logic determines if the target port is available and, if it is, enables the connection. A special bus carries the request and grant trafﬁc for available switch ports.

RAM The GRF 400 is equipped with a minimum of 128MB of internal RAM, 32MB of which are permanently reserved for the ﬁle system, including logs and conﬁguration ﬁles. The remaining 96MB are used by the operating system and user applications such as GateD.

System memory can be upgraded in 128MB increments up to a total of 512MB, including the 32MB always reserved for the ﬁle system. To permit the software to operate in the allocated memory, certain portions of standard UNIX, such as man page ﬁles, are omitted. Man pages for GRF commands are maintained.

Because ﬁle system space is limited, you should conﬁgure logging to be done remotely via syslog or locally to external ﬂash. Additional system memory supports route tables and other protocol data, and cannot be used for storing logs.

Internal ﬂash The GRF has an internal 85MB ATA ﬂash device from which the system boots. This memory is available for storing different versions of operating software and site conﬁgurations.

External ﬂash PCMCIA slots on the control board support various sizes of ATA ﬂash devices. Although external ﬂash can be used to back up and share router conﬁgurations among multiple GRF systems, a GRF cannot boot from an external ﬂash device. Local logging and dumping to external ﬂash is also supported. The grwrite command writes ﬁles from system RAM to internal ﬂash, grsnapshot copies ﬁles between internal and external ﬂash devices. Commands for ﬂash device management are discussed in the GRF Conﬁguration and management manual.

PCMCIA devices PCMCIA slot A is used for a portable external ﬂash device. A PCMCIA modem device can operate in either slot A or B. Instructions for conﬁguring the modem and a disk device are in chapter 4.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 400

Overview of the GRF 400 base unit

Fans

Three intake fans push air across the media cards, control board, and power supplies. Warmed air exhausts out the side vents next to the power supplies. If the unit is installed in a rack, the sides of the GRF chassis should not be adjacent to a device in the next rack. Be sure that the intake vents do not draw in air exhausted by another device. Fans are not swappable. They are part of the GRF 400 chassis and must be replaced by certiﬁed personnel.

Fan “too slow” message

You may occasionally see a message in the /messages log ﬁle similar to this:

Jul 20 04:00:25 tn-btvt-1-E0-1 kernel: rmb0: RMB Fan 0 is too slow

This message can be generated when the low-priority task of updating the fan rotation count has been replaced by a higher-priority communication bus activity. Unless you see it repeated frequently in a ﬁve-minute period, you can ignore it. If the message is repeated, use the grrmb temp command to check the chassis temperature.

Backplane

The GRF 400 backplane spans the width of the chassis and is ﬁxed in place. The backplane is not a ﬁeld replaceable unit.

The backplane supplies power to the media cards and control board. The control board and media cards exchange conﬁguration and status information through the 80 megabit/second communications bus located on the backplane.

Communications bus

The communications bus (com bus) is a separate data path for conﬁguration, control, monitoring functions. This bus connects the control board to the media cards independently of the switch connection to each card, and is not used for routed data between media cards. Route table update packets received by the media cards are also sent across the com bus to the router manager software and do not compete with normal IP data trafﬁc.

Battery

The control board has a small 3V lithium battery to store BIOS CMOS conﬁguration and for powering the real time clock if the GRF is powered off.

!

Caution: Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the

same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Vorsicht: Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen gleichwertigen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.

par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

Power supplies

The GRF 400 can use either AC or DC (negative 48VDC) power supplies. GRF systems are shipped with the power supply installed. Power supplies are housed in open frame drawers for cooling by the chassis fans. Only qualiﬁed personnel can service and replace GRF 400 power supplies.

Remember that the GRF 400 does not have a power on/off switch. When the power supplies receive current, the GRF powers on and, since the software is already loaded, immediately begins to boot.

Redundant units

Two power supplies can be installed for redundancy. When two units are present, both are active, load-sharing devices. If one fails, the other unit ramps up to provide the full load. Each power supply has an LED on the control board.

Looking from the cabling end of the chassis, the power supplies are mounted on the left side. The bottom power supply is numbered 1, and the upper supply is numbered 2. In a non-redundant system, the single power supply unit can be installed in either 1 or 2, it does not matter.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 400

Overview of the GRF 400 base unit

If a unit failure occurs in a redundant system, the failed unit can be hot swapped out. The unit being removed must be unplugged or disconnected from its AC or DC power source.

Failure notiﬁcation

If a power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The

/var/log/gr.console log ﬁle will also contain related messages. The green PS1-OK or

PS2-OK LED on the control board goes off to indicate a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 400

Description of the AC power supply

The GRF 400 400W AC power supply provides +5V to all media cards, control board, and backplane. Remember that the GRF 400 chassis does not have a power on/off switch. When you plug the AC power supply cord into a live outlet, the GRF powers on and, since the software is already loaded, immediately begins to boot.

The GRF 400 can be ordered with one or a redundant pair of AC power supply units. The AC unit is available only from Lucent.

Powering on a GRF 400 power supply is described in Chapter 3.

A note about redundant AC supplies

When the GRF 400 is equipped with redundant AC power supplies, please note the following when powering on (plugging) or powering off (unplugging) the GRF unit:

Caution: This unit has two power supply cords. For total isolation from electrical shock and energy hazard, disconnect both supply cords. Care must be taken to correctly connect each power supply to separate AC power sources and (optional) UPS devices.

Vorsicht: Dieses Gerät hat zwei Netzanschlusskabel. Um das Gerät vollständig von Netz zu trennen ziehen Sie beide Kabel ab, sonst können Sie einen elektrischen Schlag erhalten. Achten Sie darauf, daß jedes Stromkabel mit einer separaten Wechselstromquelle und einem separaten USV-Gerät verbunden wird.

Attention: Cet appareil a deux cordons d’alimentation électrique. Pour une isolation complète de tout choc électrique et de danger énergétique, débrancher les deux cordons d’alimentation.

Incompatibilities between AC power supply models

For some time the GRF 400 has been equipped with 400W power supplies manufactured by Astec.

The standard AC power supply is being switched to a unit manufactured by Artesyn (previously Zytec). Refer to Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7 for front panel illustrations of both types of power supplies.

The Astec and Artesyn power supplies are incompatible. The two models do not consistently support load sharing between them, and their incompatibilities can mask a unit failure. As a result, the two models must not be installed together in the same GRF 400 chassis.

This installation requirement is critical in the following situations:

• when a system with a single Astec unit intends to install a second unit for redundancy. If you intend to add a redundant unit to a GRF 400 with a single Astec unit installed (black

handle), you must switch to two Artesyn units.

• when a system with dual Astec units has a failure and needs a replacement unit. If you have a failure in a GRF 400 conﬁgured with dual Astec units, you must switch to

two Artesyn units.

Overview of the GRF 1600 base unit

Figure 2-2 shows the GRF 1600 base unit from the front of the cabinet. All cables and power cords attach at the rear panel. The GRF 1600 chassis is organized into three sections.

In the top section, a pair of high-speed impeller fans draw air up through the media cards and exhaust it out vents on each side of the chassis. These vents must not be obstructed in an y w ay. When you install the GRF, you must provide a minimum of 6 inches of clearance on the sides of the unit and keep the front and back clear of obstruction. The backplane and system cards are installed in the middle section, above the air intake plenum. Intake vents are at each chassis side and front. Power supplies are in the bottom section. Their internal fans e xhaust air out the lower chassis front and require a minimum of six inches of clearance.

Note the hand holds on the chassis sides, these are especially helpful when installing the GRF in a rack.

Media cards

Note: To operate properly, a GRF 1600 requires a minimum of two media cards installed.

Also, a face plate cover must be installed in any unused slot to maintain cooling ﬂows. The GRF 1600 has 16 media card slots, 0–15, a control board, and a switch board.Slots are

numbered left to right as shown in Figure 2-4, the control board is always 66:

Chassis fans

Two motorized impeller fans cool the chassis, excluding the power supply compartment. The fans operate in tandem. At start-up, both fans operate at 100% of RPM capability. Gradually each fan slows down so that, in normal conditions, each fan operates at 50% speed. When the GRF is plugged in, you can hear the changes in fan speeds. Tachometers on each fan unit ensure steady, sufﬁcient airﬂow. When a tachometer detects that a fan is dropping below the 50% rate, it causes a signal to the other fan to speed up. When a problem occurs with either fan, the control board “FAN” LED lights. You can replace the fan tray on site, contact Lucent to order a replacement.

The amount of time the GRF 1600 can operate with a failed fan depends upon the number of installed media cards and the ambient air temperature. The temperature sensor on the control board shuts the GRF down if the operating temperature is exceeded.

A procedure to exchange the fan trays is in the “Management Tasks” chapter of the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual.

Control board

GRF 1600 control board hardware runs the router management software (RMS). RMS is the communications and control software for the media cards.

Other control board components are the system RAM, internal ﬂash memory, maintenance Ethernet connector, and PCMCIA device slots. The control board is ﬁeld-replaceable, but not hot swappable.

A hardware reset button, receptacles for maintenance Ethernet and RS-232 connections, and power, fan, status and fault LEDs are on the board’s faceplate, shown left.

PCMCIA slots can contain an external ﬂash memory device and a PCMCIA modem attachment.

LEDs provide status for control board and chassis components. The system can be reset by depressing the reset button, but a

software command reset is preferable since it saves ﬁles and leaves the system in order.

The faceplate speaker functions as a typical PC speaker , it chimes during system boot, for example. The control board has another component that sounds an audible alarm when the operating temperature level is exceeded.

The control board has temperature monitoring (sensor) and reporting (alarm) capabilities. The router management software provides a command (temp) to check the current board-surface operating temperature. If excessive temperature levels are reached, the router management software triggers the control board’s audible alarm. If levels are exceeded, the management software will shut the system down. The management software also monitors the power supply units, issuing power failure warnings to the user interface via grconslog if power problems are detected.

A 10/100 megabit Ethernet receptacle (autosensing) supports a connection to the administrative LAN. A set of four LEDs indicate status (Link OK), activity (XMT ACT, RCV ACT), and connection rate (if 100 Mbs).

TheVT-100 terminal attaches to the serial port.

Switch board

The 16x16 switch chip and switch control logic reside on the GRF 1600 switch board. The switch board is ﬁeld-replaceable, but not hot swappable. It is installed to the right of the control board in the central chamber.

Switch control

Each media card is on a switch port. Switch control manages media card requests to connect through the switch to the switch port occupied by a destination media card. Switch logic determines if the target port is available and, if it is, enables the connection. A special bus carries the request and grant trafﬁc for available switch ports.

Battery

The control board has a small 3V lithium battery to store BIOS CMOS conﬁguration and for powering the real time clock if the GRF is powered off.

!

Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Vorsicht: Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen gleichwertigen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.

Attention: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

Backplane

The GRF 1600 backplane spans the width of the chassis and is ﬁxed in place. The backplane is not a ﬁeld replaceable unit.

The backplane supplies power to the media cards and control board. The control board and media cards exchange conﬁguration and status information through the 80 megabit/second communications bus located on the backplane.

Communications bus

The communications bus (com bus) is a separate data path for conﬁguration, control, monitoring functions. This bus connects the control board to the media cards independently of the switch connection to each card, and is not used for routed data between media cards. Route table update packets received by the media cards are also sent across the com bus to the router manager software and do not compete with normal IP data trafﬁc.

Figure 2-5. Memory components and options on the control board

RAM The GRF 1600 is equipped with a minimum of 128MB internal RAM, 32MB of which are permanently reserved for the ﬁle system, including logs and conﬁguration ﬁles. The remaining 96MB are used by the operating system and user applications such as GateD.

System memory can be upgraded in 128MB increments up to a total of 512MB, including the 32MB always reserved for the ﬁle system. To permit the software to operate in the allocated memory, certain portions of standard UNIX, such as man page ﬁles, are omitted. Man pages for GRF commands are maintained.

Because ﬁle system space is limited, you should conﬁgure logging to be done remotely via syslog or locally to external ﬂash. Adding system memory only supports route tables and other protocol data, additional memory cannot be used for storing logs. Chapter 4 describes options for conﬁguring external logging.

Internal ﬂash The GRF has an internal 85MB ATA ﬂash device from which the system boots. This memory is available for storing different versions of operating software and site conﬁgurations.

External ﬂash PCMCIA slots on the control board support various sizes of ATA ﬂash devices. Although external ﬂash can be used to back up and share router conﬁgurations among multiple GRF systems, a GRF cannot boot from an external ﬂash device. Local logging and dumping to external ﬂash is also supported. The grwrite command writes ﬁles from system RAM to internal ﬂash, grsnapshot copies ﬁles between internal and external ﬂash devices. Commands for ﬂash device management are discussed in the GRF Conﬁguration and management manual.

PCMCIA devices PCMCIA slot A is used for a portable external ﬂash device. PCMCIA modem devices can operate in either slot A or B. Instructions for installing and conﬁguring the modem and a disk device are in chapter 4.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 1600

Overview of the GRF 1600 base unit

Power supply options

The GRF 1600 uses either AC or DC (negative 48VDC) power supplies. GRF systems are shipped with the power supply installed. Power supplies are housed at the bottom of the chassis in self-contained, self-cooled drawers. Visible from the cabling end of the chassis, power supply 1 (PS1 LED) is on the left, power supply 2 (PS2 LED) is on the right. In a non-redundant system, the single power supply unit can be installed in either 1 or 2, it does not matter. Only qualiﬁed personnel can service and replace GRF 1600 power supplies.

Two power supplies can be installed for redundancy. When two units are present, both are active, load-sharing devices. If one fails, the other unit ramps up to provide the full load. Each power supply has an LED (PS1, PS2) on the control board. If a unit failure occurs in a redundant system, the failed unit can be hot swapped out. The unit being removed must be unplugged or disconnected from its AC or DC power source.

Each power supply has an internal fan to cool that unit. Air is drawn in at the drawer front and exhausted out the rear of the drawer. If a power supply overheats, its internal regulators will shut the unit down.

Power supply failure notiﬁcation

If a power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The

gr.console log ﬁle will also contain related messages. The amber PS1 or PS2 LED on the

GRF 1600 control board will come on to indicate a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.

Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certiﬁed personnel only.

Warnung: Das Netzteil darf nur von einer Fachkraft ausgewechselt werden.

The A C po wer supply drawers ha ve a locking mechanisn that pre vents an yone from removing a drawer while the unit has a power cord plugged in. Refer to the diagram below.

Before you plug the cord into the power supply, you can see that a plate covers part of the AC receptacle. You can easily slide this plate up to insert the cord. The locking tab stays up in the locked position and prevents the drawer from being pulled out while the power cord is plugged in.

The locking tab is at the top edge of the sliding plate. Immediately below the sliding plate and at either side of the receptacle are two small screws. These screws attach the AC receptacle to the drawer front. They also are used to attach a power cord clamp. The screws can be untightened 3 or 4 turns to allow the clamp to slide under, but they should never be fully removed.

Label requirement

The warning label shown in Figure 2-7 is required when a second power supply is installed in a pre-existing system to provide redundancy. When a GRF is shipped with a single power supply, this label is not on the power supply unit. If a customer orders a redundant power supply, a set of labels is included, along with instructions to attach a label to each unit.

CAUTION: This unit has two power supply cords. For total isolation from electrical shock and energy hazard, disconnect both supply cords. ACHTUNG: Dieses Gerät hat zwei Netzanschlusskabel. Um das Gerät vollständig von Netz zu trennen ziehen Sie beide Kabel ab, sonst können Sie einen

The label is actually attached to the top edge of the fastening knob compartment at the bottom of the unit, facing upwards.

Minimum media card load requirement

Redundant GRF 1600 power supplies require a minimum load installed equal to two media cards. If the minimum media card load is not met, the supplies may generate false power supply failure messages. While the power supply units are not damaged during this condition, misleading error messages may be logged in

/var/log/grconsole.log.

When redundant power supplies are installed in a GRF 1600 chassis, you must keep at least two media cards inserted to meet the minimum load requirement. Minimum load can be problematical when power supplies are operating in the redundant or current share mode, particularly on high current output supplies. It is recommended that the GRF 1600 only be operated with at least two media cards installed.

Installation preview

Now that you are familiar with the GRF 1600, this page gives you a preview of the tasks you will do to install the GRF, and what the other chapters in this Getting Started manual cover:

1 Rack mount and ground the GRF chassis. (chapter 3) 2 Insert any additional media cards. The GRF is shipped with all ordered media cards

installed, if you have others to install, insert them now. (chapter 3)

3 Attach a VT 100-compatible terminal or laptop PC to the serial port (RS-232) on the GRF

control board. The terminal is used to enter the initial IP conﬁguration information and to monitor system boot. Later you can connect the GRF to the administrative Ethernet and disconnect the terminal. (chapter 3)

4 Power on the GRF by plugging in the AC power supply or wiring the DC power supply.

The GRF has no on/off switch, and ships with software already loaded. When you apply current to the power supplies, the GRF begins to boot. Watch the control board LEDs to see the status of the system during and after boot. (chapter 3)

5 The ﬁrst time a GRF is powered on, a conﬁguration script automatically runs. The script

prompts you to enter the router’s system IP address and host name. You must supply this information to communicate with the GRF and to later connect the GRF to your administrative Ethernet. (chapter 4)

The script also prompts you to begin to conﬁgure remote logging by setting up a syslog server. If you choose to conﬁgure “local” logging to a PCMCIA device, just press the <Enter> key at those prompts.

6 Log in as root. Optionally, you can change the preset password for root. (chapter 4) 7 Conﬁgure logging, there are several options. Procedures to set up local PCMCIA and

network logging are in this manual. (chapter 4) Optionally, you can install and conﬁgure a PCMCIA modem connection to the GRF.

8 Connect the GRF maintenance Ethernet interface to your site’s administrative LAN. Use

the Ethernet connector on the control board. If you like, you can now disconnect the VT 100 terminal. (chapter 4)

9 Attach the media card cables. (chapter 5)

At the end of this Getting Started manual, you are ready to conﬁgure the media card interfaces, network services, and protocols. This information is covered in the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual.

Rack-mounting requirements

If you are rack-mounting the GRF 400 base unit:

– Always stack the rack from the bottom up to ensure a stable and safe rack. – The installation of GRF 400 and other units within the rack should not reduce the air

ﬂow within the rack. The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the GRF 400 is 40˚ C (104˚ F).

– Make sure you have a two-unit air gap for cooling and cables between the GRF and

any other equipment installed in the rack.

– Determine that the cumulative power requirements of the GRF 400 plus other

equipment in the rack do not overload the rack supply circuit and/or wiring.

Ventilation requirements

When installing, please consider the location of the GRF in relation to other devices located in an adjacent rack. Ensure that the GRF’s air intake is not drawing directly upon heated air from another unit. Figure 3-1 shows air intake and exhaust areas. When you install the GRF, you must provide six to ten inches of side clearance.

Media cards are actually two logic boards joined to make a single component. As shown in Figure 3-9, the smaller board on the right is the serial interface, also called the serial daughter card. The larger one on the left is the media board and has the network ports. Together they comprise a GRF media card. The GRF 400 and 1600 use the same media cards.

The media card serial and part numbers are printed at the lower edge of the card, near the bottom ﬁnger grip/extractor.

Powering on the GRF 400

As described earlier in this chapter, the initial start-up of the GRF requires a directly-attached terminal for logging in as root. This terminal should be connected before you power on the GRF so you can monitor the start up and boot messages that begin immediately.

The GRF 400 is powered by either AC or negative 48V DC power supplies. This section includes procedures for both types of power supply:

– applying power to AC power supplies – wiring and applying power to DC power supplies

The GRF chassis does not have a power on/off switch. When the power cord is plugged in to a power outlet or when the DC wiring set is connected to a source supply, the GRF is powered on. It takes a few seconds for the power supply(s) to c ycle before po wer is supplied to the back panel and the media cards.

When the GRF is powered on, it begins to boot. You can see the boot messages displayed on the VT-100 screen. As it boots, the GRF runs a series of internal diagnostics. The ﬁrst time a GRF is powered on, the boot process runs a system conﬁguration script. In this script you assign the GRF a host name, conﬁgure the maintenance Ethernet, and optionally specify a syslog server. The GRF supports remote logging via a syslog server as well as local logging (and dumps) to an external ﬂash device.

Rack Mount and Power On Procedures

Powering on the GRF 400

Media cards will boot automatically and come up ready to operate. The speaker on the control board faceplate emits audible beeps as the board boots.

Redundant power supplies

Installing redundant power supplies ensures against failures of individual units in the chassis. If possible, attach each power supply into a different power source.

Power supply failure notiﬁcation

If a GRF power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The

gr.console log ﬁle will also contain related messages. The PS1 or PS2 amber LED on the

control board will light, indicating a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.

Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certiﬁed personnel only.

Insertion procedure

1 When you are properly grounded, remove the media card from its anti-static container. 2 Hold the media card with the network ports facing you.

GRF 1600

As you start, make sure you visually identify the top and bottom guide pair for this particular slot. Have one hand under the card, lightly supporting its weight. Rest just the edge of the bottom corner of the card in the bottom guide. Then, bring the top edge of the card into the top guide. This will help you keep the card level as you slide it in.

Keeping the media card vertically upright, insert the card fully into the slot. You will feel the card joining with the 100-pin connector on the backplane.

Rack Mount and Power On Procedures

Powering on the GRF 1600

As described earlier in this chapter, the initial start-up of the GRF requires a directly-attached terminal for logging in as root. The terminal should be connected BEFORE you power on the GRF so you can monitor the start up and boot messages that begin immediately . The GRF 1600 is powered by either 1100W AC or negative 48V DC power supplies.

This section includes procedures for both types of power supply:

– applying power to AC power supplies The GRF chassis does not have a power on/off switch. The AC power supply does not

have an on/off switch. As a result, when the AC power cord is plugged in to a power outlet, the GRF is powered on. It takes a few seconds for the power supply(s) to cycle before power is supplied to the back panel and the media cards.

– wiring and applying power to DC power supplies A GRF 1600 DC power supply does have a power on/off switch on its front panel. After

the DC wiring set is attached and carries current, this switch controls the application of current to the DC power supply.

When the GRF is powered on, it begins to boot. You can see the boot messages displayed on the terminal screen. As it boots, the GRF runs a series of internal diagnostics. The ﬁrst time a GRF is powered on, the boot process runs a system conﬁguration script. In this script you assign the GRF a host name, conﬁgure the maintenance Ethernet, and optionally specify a syslog server. The GRF supports remote logging via a syslog server as well as local logging (and dumps) to an external ﬂash device.

Media cards will boot automatically and come up ready to operate.

The speaker on the control board faceplate emits audible beeps as the board boots.

Redundant power supplies

Installing redundant power supplies ensures against failures of individual units in the chassis. If possible, attach each power supply into a different power source.

Power supply failure notiﬁcation

If a GRF 1600 power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The gr.console log ﬁle will also contain related messages. The PS1 or PS2 amber LED on the control board will light, indicating a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.

Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certiﬁed personnel only.

Warnung: Das Netzteil darf nur von einer Fachkraft ausgewechselt werden.

Rack Mount and Power On Procedures

Applying AC power to the GRF 1600

The GRF 1600 chassis does not have an on/off switch. Therefore, plug the AC po wer cord into the unit’s AC power supply BEFORE you plug the cord into a wall or other receptacle.

You can obtain and install a power cord locking clamp to prevent the power cord from being accidentally pulled out of the AC power supply.

!

Plug-in steps

Caution: The power supplies contain hazardous voltages and energy levels.

• Do not attempt to service a unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed personnel.

• Double-pole/neutral fusing.

• For continued protection against risk of ﬁre, replace only with the same type and rating of fuses. Replace F3 and F4 only with recognized 6.3A, 250V, fast-acting fuses. Replace F5 only with 5.0A, 250V, fast-acting fuse.

Vorsicht: In den Netzteilen liegen Hochspannung und gefährliche Energiepegel an.

• Versuchen Sie nicht, das Gerät selbst zu warten. Alle Reparaturarbeiten sind von Fachkräften auszuführen.

• Zweipolige/Neutralleiter-Sicherung

• Nur mit Sicherungen des gleichen Typs und der gleichen Leistung ersetzen, um jegliche Feuergefahr zu vermeiden. F3 und F4 nur mit anerkannten Schnellsicherungen mit 6,3 A, 250 V, ersetzen. F5 nur mit Schnellsicherungen mit 5,0 A, 250 V, ersetzen.

Here are the power on steps with AC power supplies installed in your GRF 1600:

1 Start with the AC power cord NOT plugged into the power source. 2 Check that the power supply drawer is pushed fully into the GRF chassis. 3 If you are using a locking clamp to secure the power cord, refer to the next section,

“Installing a power cord locking clamp”, for instructions to install the clamp.

4 Connect the power cord into the AC receptacle on the power supply drawer. 5 Last, plug the power cord into the appropriate rack or wall outlet.

Installing a power cord locking clamp

Warning: If the power supply is equipped with a power cord clamp, the socket outlet must be

located near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. The power cord shall have a maximum length of 3 meters (10 feet).

This warning is important because in an emergency, the only safe way to remove power from the GRF is to unplug it at the wall or socket outlet. In effect, if a clamp is used, the wall or socket outlet serves as the GRF’s AC disconnect.

Initial System Set-up

First communication with the router

This section describes what you see at the terminal after you power on a GRF. When you plug in the GRF, it powers on and begins to boot. Boot activity is displayed on the

screen.

First-time power on conﬁguration script

The ﬁrst-time conﬁguration script runs automatically only at this time. It only runs again when invok ed.

The script prompts for the following information:

– host name for GRF. – whether you wish to conﬁgure the maintenance Ethernet interface de0 at this time. – IP address for maintenance Ethernet interface de0

(The GRF is shipped with a temporary de0 network address set to 192.0.2.1, but

you should conﬁgure your site address now.). – netmask for maintenance Ethernet interface de0 IP address. – if you want a default (static) route to another router on the maintenance Ethernet. – that router’s IP address.

You can see your answers when they are displayed at the end of the script. You have the option to rerun the script to make changes or to simply drop your responses:

You have now answered all the questions necessary for basic network configuration. If you didn't make any mistakes while entering your answers, simply continue and the appropriate configuration files will be created.

If you wish to exit this program without writing out the configuration files, type <Control>-C.

Your current answers are:

Host Name: grf.tester.com IP Address: 192.168.160.133 Ethernet interface: de0 (Digital DC33333/22222/11111) Special Netmask: Default Route: (none)

Do you wish to go through the questions again? [yes]

Enter no if you have no changes. The script automatically sa v es your entries to the appropriate conﬁguration ﬁle.

The de0 reference is to the internal name for the control board’s Ethernet interface through which the GRF connects to your site’s maintenace/administrative LAN. You will see an entry for de0 in the /etc/grifconfig.conf conﬁguration ﬁle when you add media card interface and IP address information to that ﬁle, the script enters the de0 entry as it completes.

Initial System Set-up

Logging in as root

Changing the conﬁguration script later

If later you need to change any of the information you entered in the ﬁrst-time conﬁguration script, you can run the script again. Enter:

# config_netstart

The script will run again and will re-prompt for the same information as the ﬁrst time.

Logging in as root

This section describes the root log in to the GRF. The root log in is the UNIX-equiv alent super user. The ﬁrst log in while you are connected using the VT-100 terminal must be a root log in. After you connect the GRF to the local Ethernet, the root log in is not required. Normally you will telnet to the GRF and use the administrative log in.

After the conﬁguration script completes, you are prompted to press the Enter key. When you do, the User: prompt appears for the ﬁrst log in. You need to log in as user root. The preset password for root is Ascend (with a capital A).

Here is the process:

Press <Enter> to continue. User:

At the User prompt, type: root

User: root Password:

Use the preset password, type: Ascend (Ascend with a capital A)

Password: • • • • • •

When a password is entered, it is not echoed (displayed) on the screen. The super> prompt appears:

super>

The super> prompt indicates you are in the Command Line Interface (CLI), and are logged in as root. When you log in to a GRF as root, you automatically get the CLI shell. In the CLI, root is super user, hence the super> prompt.

Changing the root password

GRF systems are shipped with Ascend (capital A) preset as the root password. As a security precaution, Customer Support recommends that you change this preset password now, before you begin system conﬁguration.

If you are at the super> prompt, you are in the CLI. You need to be in the UNIX shell to change the password. Use sh to invoke the UNIX shell. Each time you start the shell, you see the Lucent copyright and version notice. Type exit to leave the shell.

At the super> prompt, execute the sh command to create a UNIX shell, the UNIX # prompt appears:

super> sh #

The de0 interface

The de0 interface is the physical Ethernet interface on the GRF control board.

de0 is for out of band access. It is not another Ethernet interface for routing packets. This

interface is only to be used for administrative and maintenance access to the GRF. You should, for example, use de0 for syslog server or NFS mounts.

Trafﬁc through de0 travels on the internal communications bus (com bus). The com bus can efﬁciently handle control and conﬁguration data, but no other type.

As a result, there are requirements for de0:

– de0 should have a non-routable IP address, this will prevent hard-to-detect problems. – Default routes must not go through de0. – Never run any dynamic routing protocols on de0. – Never use de0 as an ATMP address.

The GRF is shipped with a temporary de0 network address set to 192.0.2.1. If you did not enter your site address in the ﬁrst-time conﬁguration script, de0 has that address.

grifconﬁg and netstart de0 addresses must match

The ﬁrst-time power on conﬁguration script prompts you for a host name for the GRF and an IP address. This IP address is automatically assigned to the de0 interface and placed in both the /etc/grifconfig.conf and /etc/netstart ﬁles.

Therefore, if you change de0’s IP address in one of these ﬁles, you must also change it in the other. If the two addresses do not match, GateD does not install the multicast address to de0 on boot and has problems routing to the multicast address.

Attaching the maintenance interface de0

The control board supports the maintenance connection to the GRF from a site’s local administrative Ethernet. This is the recommended mode of access for GRF system management and administration.

In the ﬁrst-time conﬁguration script, you entered the IP address and netmask for the maintenance interface de0. This section describes how to connect that interface to your local Ethernet LAN.

Ethernet connection to control board

The control board faceplate has an RJ-45 modular connector. It supports 10 or 100 megabit connections and autosenses the line rate. As indicated in Figure 4-1, the Ethernet connector is prohibited from telco lines.

Figure 4-1. Point-to-point Ethernet connector on the control board

The maintenance Ethernet connector site is labeled “100/10, ” its network interface is de0. To connect to an external Ethernet LAN, insert the LAN cable into the receptacle marked

“100/10.” Its address is already conﬁgured in the ﬁrst-time conﬁguration script.

When you telnet to the GRF from a workstation on the maintenance LAN, you must use the administrative account “netstar” to log into the GRF router.

After you connect the GRF to the local Ethernet, the root log in is not required. Normally you will telnet to the GRF and use the administrative log in.

After you log in, test your network access and administrative account on the router after conﬁguring it on your LAN.

Administrative log on

After you attach the Ethernet de0 connection from an administrative LAN to the control board, you can telnet from your administrative station to the GRF using the IP address assigned in the conﬁguration script. For normal day-to-day operations, you will likely use the administrative log in, not the root.

At the Password: prompt, enter the new root password you created or enter Ascend if you have not changed the preset password:

Password: • • • • • • super>

The super> prompt indicates you are in the command-line interface (CLI).

CLI and UNIX passwords

The UNIX logins described here have passwords associated with UNIX user accounts. These passwords are different from the CLI user proﬁle password. The CLI auth command controls permissions for CLI user logins. A user can log in to the CLI by using the auth command to return a password prompt. If the user supplies the correct password, then the CLI permissions speciﬁed for the user are granted.

When you log into the GRF, it uses UNIX authentication. You cannot telnet using a user proﬁle name or password. When you enter the CLI, it automatically assigns you a CLI authentication as “super” if you logged in as root, otherwise, it assigns “default”. You can display your CLI authentication with the whoami command. Your CLI authentication affects which ﬁelds you can see and which commands you can invoke within the CLI.

The next task is to learn about the GRF user interface. You have already used its primary components, the Command Line Interface and the UNIX shell.

4-6October, 1998 GRF 400/1600 Getting Started - 1.4 Update 2

Initial System Set-up

Overview of GRF user interface components

This overview is intended to help you understand what is happening in the procedures that make up the rest of this chapter. The procedures use both the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the UNIX shell. As you do the procedures, you will use CLI commands and will also open a UNIX shell and edit conﬁguration ﬁles or execute UNIX commands.

Conﬁguration tasks - shell or CLI ?

To conﬁgure and manage the GRF, you will use both the CLI command set and the UNIX shell. You switch between them, there are no nested levels of shell and CLI.

You must be in the UNIX shell to edit the /etc/xxx.conf conﬁguration ﬁles. The /etc directory contains the conﬁguration ﬁles.

Otherwise, many system management and conﬁguration commands are available in the CLI as well as the UNIX shell. Enter a “?” to retrieve a list of CLI commands. All system commands are described in the GRF Reference Guide.

The GRF user environment consists of two main components, the CLI and the UNIX shell. There is also a set of low-level maint commands.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Command Line Interface, usually called CLI, supports a set of proﬁles and a large set of GRF and UNIX-like commands. There are ﬁve proﬁles that contain parameters for ﬁve areas:

– System proﬁle, includes the GRF host name, the de0 IP address, and various

hardware characteristics. – Card proﬁle, includes media type, protocol, port parameters, ICMP/dump/load

settings. Each card has its own Card proﬁle. – User proﬁle(s), a proﬁle for each deﬁned user, includes access, password – Dump proﬁle, deﬁnes system-wide dump events and storage. (Some dump

parameters can be customized for a card in its Card proﬁle.) – Load proﬁle, deﬁnes the running binaries for each control and media card type. (Some

load parameters can be customized for a card in its Card proﬁle.)

Proﬁles and their parameters are described in detail in the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual.

The GRF UNIX-like system management and conﬁguration commands are available in the CLI. At the CLI prompt (usually super>) enter a “?” to retrieve the list of available commands. Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for a description of each CLI command.

When you log in to a GRF as root, you automatically get the CLI shell. In the CLI, root is super user, hence the super> prompt.

Initial System Set-up

Overview of GRF user interface components

UNIX shell

While in the CLI you use the sh command to open a UNIX shell. The shell supports standard UNIX commands and the GRF UNIX-like commands. You can manage the GRF using the UNIX network and conﬁguration management commands. The GRF also has a number of conﬁguration ﬁles that you edit with a UNIX editor, you must be in the shell to edit GRF conﬁguration ﬁles.

To conﬁgure and manage the GRF, you will use both the CLI command set and the UNIX shell. T ype exit to leave the shell. When you exit the UNIX shell, you can execute CLI-only commands.

maint commands

A third component is the set of maint commands speciﬁc to each media card. The maint commands display low-level card-speciﬁc statistics and counts. These commands are documented within each media card’s conﬁguration chapter in the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual. The HSSI card maint commands are in the “HSSI Conﬁguration” chapter, for example.

What to do next...

As noted, this is a brief overview. The “Working in the GRF User Interface” chapter in the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual provides information and examples using the

CLI proﬁles and commands.

The next step is to conﬁgure logging. What you do depends upon the option you have chosen for external logging. The options are described in this order:

– “local” logging and dumping to an external PCMCIA ﬂash device – remote logging (over the network) to a syslog server – remote logging (over the network) to an NFS-mounted ﬁle system

About GRF logs and dumps

Logs

When the GRF ﬁrst boots and loads, logging is not enabled. System memory restrictions on the GRF control board require that logging be to external storage. If target external storage is not speciﬁed to receive log entries, log entries are not sav ed. Y ou should conﬁgure logging as part of initial system set up.

There are three options for logging. Procedures for each are in the next several sections:

– “local” logging and dumping to an external PCMCIA ﬂash device inserted in the

control board – remote logging (network) to a syslog server – remote logging (network) to an NFS-mounted ﬁle system

Three logs provide speciﬁc information useful for monitoring and debugging GRF operations. If you are working with Customer Support, these are the three logs they will need to see:

– /var/log/gr.console

– /var/log/gr.boot – /var/log/messages

Initial System Set-up

About GRF logs and dumps

The gr.console log is the most useful log (also called grconslog or the conslog). You will need the information logged to this ﬁle to manage the GRF . It contains status and e vents for the GRF system and all media cards. When a media card resets, many events of the resetting are reported, including initializing, loading run-time code, requesting and reading conﬁguration parameters, and so on. At the end, you see a message that indicates the cause of the reset.

The grconslog command opens a window to the log that displays messages as the y are logged. It is common practice to telnet into the GRF, enter grconslog -vf, and keep the window open to monitor ongoing system events as they are reported. Use the abort or equivalent key to quit the log. The gr.console.log displays all types of events including card resets and panics, user log ons, and conﬁguration changes. Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for a description of grconslog options.

The gr.boot log contains events reported during system and media card boot. These can be helpful if a card has problems booting and coming up.

The messages log contains system-related events connected usually with the management software, also referred to as RMS (Router Management System), and the operating system kernel.

Examples of logs are in the “Management Commands and Tools” chapter of the GRF Conﬁguration and Management manual. Other log ﬁles in the /var/log directory collect low-level information useful primarily to system developers.

About GRF logs and dumps

Accessing a log ﬁle

To display the contents of a speciﬁc log ﬁle, change directory to /var/log and use the more command to display the contents of a speciﬁc log ﬁle. To access output of grconsole log, use this sequence of commands:

# cd /var/log # more gr.console

Dumps

The GRF compresses dumps to save space, compressed ﬁles are appended with .gz.

Dumps provide speciﬁc information useful for monitoring and debugging GRF operations. If you are working with Customer Support, they may ask for a system or media card dump. The procedure to install a PCMCIA device for logging also speciﬁes that dumps be sent to the device.

System dump

If the GRF is reset or it panics, a dump is saved in the /var/crash directory under the naming convention bsdx.core where x is the number of the dump, 1, 2, 3...and so on. A system dump is usually too large to send by e-mail. Customer Support will tell you how to send it to them.

The grsavecore command copies and formats information generated from a kernel panic as the data is written to standard output. The formatted data is written to grsavecore.out in the

/var/crash directory.

Media card dumps

The grdump program sav es and manages media card dumps. By default, two dumps are sa ved per day for each media card. Dumps are collected from media cards when they panic or when they are reset by the system administrator using grreset -D (this command instructs the media card to dump when it comes back up).

Media card dumps are stored in /var/portcards in a ﬁle named with the convention

grdump.n.x.gz where n is the card slot number and x is the number of the saved dump, 1, 2,

3....

A media card dump is generally 4–8MB, and can sometimes be e-mailed. Customer Support will tell you how to send it to them.

Panic dumps sent to external storage

The mountf and grdump commands enable the grdump program to work with an external storage device to capture media card dumps.

When a media card panics and there is a formatted external ﬂash device plugged into either PCMCIA slot, a copy of the dump is automatically saved under the portcards directory of the external ﬂash.

4-10October, 1998 GRF 400/1600 Getting Started - 1.4 Update 2

Initial System Set-up

Option 1: Log and dump to a PCMCIA device

Logging can be done either remotely or locally to an external PCMCIA device. Because system memory (RAM) provides a ﬁxed amount of log storage, upgrading GRF RAM

increases storage for route tables and other routing data, but does not provide additional space to store logs and dumps. Logs and dumps can be sent either to an external ﬂash device inserted in either PCMCIA slot or to a spinning disk device inserted in PCMCIA slot A.

You can install a PCMCIA device any time after the GRF is powered on and is running. However, logging is not enabled until you install the device and complete this conﬁguration procedure. Since logged messages can be helpful while you are bringing up and conﬁguring media cards, it is recommended you conﬁgure logging now.

Use the procedure in this section to ready the PCMCIA device and to send logs and dumps to the device. The procedure is done only once to set up local logs and dumps, and is not af fected by software updates or system reboots.

Note that the external PCMCIA device is used only for storage. You cannot boot the GRF router from an external device.

List of devices

Lucent certiﬁes the following ATA-compliant devices for GRF operation:

– Kingston Datapak 520MB, P/N CT520RM – Sandisk 175MB Flash, P/N SDP3B – Sandisk 85MB Flash, P/N SDP3B-85-101 – Aved 85MB Flash, P/N AVEF385MB25ATA501

Lucent offers only the 85 MB Flash directly (GRF-AC-FLASH). Customers may purchase the other devices through an external source.

ATA Type-II device dimensions are 85.6 mm x 54.0 mm x 5.0 mm. ATA Type-III device dimensions are 85.6 mm x 54.0 mm x 10.5 mm.

PCMCIA slot commands

Three commands enable remote management of PCMCIA slots. The csconﬁg slot_number command returns status of each PCMCIA slot. The csconﬁg slot_number up and csconﬁg slot_number down commands mark the speciﬁed PCMCIA slot up or do wn, respectiv ely. An example is included in the device installation procedure which follows.

Do not remove a mounted PCMCIA device from the slot, unmount it ﬁrst. You will get an error message if you remove a mounted device.

GRF 400/1600 Getting Started - 1.4 Update 2 October, 1998 4-11

Initial System Set-up

Installing a PCMCIA device

The procedure formats and initializes an external device (ﬂash or disk), temporarily mounts it on /mnt, creates subdirectories and symbolic links, and creates a permanent site ﬁle for storing the symbolic links. The example installs a ﬂash device into slot A and speciﬁes that logs and dumps be sent to directories on the device. You do not need to specify whether the device is a ﬂash or spinning disk.

The PCMCIA device is named according to the slot it occupies:

– /dev/wd2a, the device residing in slot A (often a spinning disk) – /dev/wd3a , the device residing in slot B (a ﬂash disk or modem)

1 Insert the PCMCIA device into slot A on the GRF control board.

The thickness of a spinning disk device requires it be installed in slot A. A ﬂash disk or modem can be installed in either A or B.

2 Log in as root to the GRF, start the UNIX shell, and execute these commands from the

shell:

prompt> sh #

# cd / # iflash -A # mountf -A -w -m /mnt # mkdir /mnt/crash # mkdir /mnt/portcards # cd /var # mv crash crash.orig # mv portcards portcards.orig # ln -s /var/log/portcards /var/portcards # ln -s /var/log/crash /var/crash # grsite --perm portcards crash # cd /var/log # pax -rw -pe -v . /mnt # umountf -A

3 Edit the ﬁle /etc/fstab:

# cd /etc # vi fstab

Use the UNIX editor to add this line as shown at the bottom of the excerpt:

/dev/wd2a /var/log ufs rw 0 2 #PCMCIA slot A, use wd3a for B

Here is the portion of the ﬁle where you will add the speciﬁed line:

# Filesystem mount table information. See the fstab(5) man page # and the /etc/fstab.sample file for more information and examples. # # Each line is of the form: # device mount_point type flags dump fsck_pass # # Note that multiple flags (when used) are specified as a

# comma separated list without spaces. # # Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are comments. # /dev/rd0a / ufs rw 0 0 /dev/wd2a /var/log ufs rw 0 2 #PCMCIA slot A, use wd3a for B

4 Edit the ﬁle /etc/syslog.conf to specify the location where the logs will be kept.

After you edit /etc/syslog.conf, you need to send a HUP signal to syslogd.

When installing a spinning disk or ﬂash disk Uncomment the local log conﬁguration lines in the “Log messages to Disk” section

by removing #disk# from each line and specify /var/log as the directory for each log:

These are the ﬁrst four lines in the section:

#disk#*.err;*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages

#disk# #disk# #disk#

cron.info /var/log/cron local0.info /var/log/gritd.packets local1.info /var/log/gr.console

The entries should now look like the following:

*.err;*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages cron.info /var/log/cron local0.info /var/log/gritd.packets local1.info /var/log/gr.console local2.* /var/log/gr.boot local3.* /var/log/grinchd.log local4.* /var/log/gr.conferrs local5.* /var/log/mib2d.log

Touch the ﬁles

Touch each ﬁle to create it, here is an example:

#cd /var/log # touch gritd.packets gr.console gr.boot grinchd.log gr.conferrs mib2d.log

Restart syslogd Determine the PID (process ID) for the syslog daemon and restart it:

# ps -ax | grep syslogd

# kill -HUP <

PID

>

Optional task: Step 5 is only for sites that had previously conﬁgured logging to syslogd or NFS. New installations can go onto Step 6.

5 If you had previously conﬁgured your GRF to log messages to a directory other than

/var/log, you changed settings in /etc/grclean.conf and /etc/grclean.logs.conf ﬁles. Go back into those ﬁles now and change the log

directory.

Modify /etc/grclean.conf and /etc/grclean.logs.conf to reﬂect the new log directory.

The /etc/grclean.conf ﬁle speciﬁes which log and dump ﬁles the grclean program compresses, archives, and deletes.

/etc/grclean.conf ﬁle entries should look like the following:

The /etc/grclean.logs.conf ﬁle is used to set size limits on log ﬁles. Here are some sample entries:

# grwrite -v # reboot -i

7 Verify that the PCMCIA interface and device are up. The csconﬁg command returns

information about both external ports:

# csconfig -a Slot 0: flags=0x3<UP,RUNNING> Attached device: wdc2
