Ethernet Satellites
280 Basic System Configuration Guide
2. Create an Ethernet satellite association that binds an Ethernet chassis to a set of
uplinks and a software repository.
3. Configure the satellite ports to specify port configuration and service association.
Software Repositories for Satellites
At least one software repository must be configured to support a satellite connected to the
local host by using the config>system>software-repository CLI tree as follows.
• Create a software repository using a unique repository name.
• Specify the primary location for the 7210 SAS-S image.
• Optionally, specify a secondary or tertiary image location and a description.
Satellite Configuration
After creating the software repositories, the next step is to configure the Ethernet satellite.
The satellite configuration is required to create a satellite binding to a satellite ID, and to
provide additional information that will uniquely identify the satellite chassis, chassis type,
and the software repository to be used to boot the remote Ethernet satellite.
The following parameters must be specified for an Ethernet satellite:
• mac-address - The Ethernet satellite chassis MAC address must be specified. This
is used to bind a specific Ethernet chassis to the associated satellite ID. (The local
host router will boot only satellites with configured MAC addresses.)
• sat-type - The satellite chassis type must be specified and must match the chassis
type that the satellite advertises during the boot process.
• software-repository - A preconfigured software repository must be specified in the
satellite configuration. This defines the location of the software image to boot the
associated 7210 SAS-S.
• no shutdown - By default, a new satellite is in a shutdown state; use the no
shutdown command to bring the satellite online.
The following parameters are optional for an Ethernet satellite:
• description - Use this command to configure a description string associated with the
satellite.
• sync-e - Use this command to enable the sync-e option.
