Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert transceivers any
more than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect cables before installing or removing
transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Caution
Disconnect Optical Ports from the Network
When you need to remove fiber-optic transceivers, you must first remove the fiber-optic cables from the
transceiver before you remove the transceiver from the port.
Maintain Transceivers and Optical Cables
Refer to Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document for inspection and cleaning
processes for fiber optic connections.
Create the Initial Router Configuration
You must assign an IP address to the router management interface to connect the router to the network.
When you initially power up the router, it boots up and asks a series of configuration-related questions. You
can use the default choices for each configuration except for the IP address, which you must provide.
These routers are designed to boot up in less than 30 mins, provided the neighboring devices are in full
operational state.
Note
When the system is powered on and the console port is connected to the terminal, the RP CPU messages are
seen. You can toggle between BMC CPU messages and RP CPU messages by pressing the hot-key sequence
Ctrl-O.
The Cisco 8201-32FH Router doesnt support BMC.
Note
To configure IP address for Ethernet port on BMC and other additional information related to BMC, please
see the System Setup Guide for Cisco 8000 Series Routers.
Before you begin
• A console device must be connected with the router.
• The router must be connected to a power source.
• Determine the IP address and netmask that is needed for the Management interfaces: MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0
and MgmtEth0/RP1/CPU0/0:
