Configuration Overview
This guide uses the term “preprovisioning” in the context of preparing or preconfiguring
entities such as chassis slots, the IOM, adapter cards, ports, and interfaces, prior to hardware
actually being installed in the chassis. These entities can be installed but not enabled. When
the entity is in a no shutdown state (administratively enabled), the entity is considered to
be provisioned.
Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR routers provide the capability to configure chassis slots to accept
specific adapter card types and set the relevant configurations before the equipment is
actually installed. The preprovisioning ability allows you to plan your configurations as well
as monitor and manage your router hardware inventory. Ports and interfaces can also be
preprovisioned. When the functionality is needed, the card(s) can be inserted into the
appropriate chassis slots as required.
The following sections are discussed:
• Configuring the IOM and Card Slot
• Configuring Adapter Cards
• Configuring Ports
Configuring the IOM and Card Slot
The 7705 SAR card slot ID is always 1 and the card type for the IOM is always iom-1g.
On the 7705 SAR-8, the CSM, which can only be installed in slot A or B of the chassis, does
not need to be provisioned. However, the IOM, which is virtualized in the 7705 SAR
software, must be activated before the adapter cards and ports can be preprovisioned and
configured. The IOM is activated by designating it a card slot ID and card type. This enables
the chassis slots to accept the adapter cards.
The 7705 SAR-F has a fixed physical configuration and uses only one control and switching
functional block, which is referred to on the CLI as CSM A. The CSM and IOM do not need
to be provisioned in order to provision the T1/E1 and Ethernet ports.
The slot ID (1) is used as part of the adapter card and port identifier on the CLI.
