Preprovisioning Guidelines
The 7705 SAR has two ports on the chassis to connect terminals for management access: a
console port for a terminal connection and a management port for a Telnet connection.
The console port is used to configure parameters locally through a direct connection from a
system console. The management port is used to configure parameters remotely through a
connection to a remote workstation, using Telnet or SSH to open a secure shell connection.
For more information on management connections, refer to the 7705 SAR Chassis
Installation Guide.
Predefining Entities
In order to initialize an adapter card, the IOM type and adapter card type must match the
preprovisioned parameters. In this context, preprovisioning means to configure the entity
type (IOM type, adapter card type, port, and interface) that is planned for an adapter card.
Preprovisioned entities can be installed but not enabled, or the slots can be configured but
remain empty until populated. Provisioning means that the preprovisioned entity is installed
and enabled.
You can preprovision ports and interfaces after the IOM is activated (card slot and card type
are designated) and adapter card types are specified.
Preprovisioning a Port
Before a port can be configured, the slot must be preprovisioned with an allowed card type
and the adapter card slot must be preprovisioned with an allowed adapter card type.
Other recommendations include:
•Ethernet
→ Configure an access port for customer-facing traffic on which services are
configured.
→ Configure a network port for uplink traffic.
An encapsulation type must be specified in order to distinguish services on the
access port. Encapsulation types must also be specified for network ports. By
default, the encapsulation type for Ethernet ports in network mode is null.
