configured with manual IP or VRF will still need MPP configuration to be modified to allow TFTP for the

Implementing a Satellite nV System
The Interface Control Plane Extender (ICPE) infrastructure has a mechanism to provide the Control Plane of
an interface physically located on the Satellite device in the local Cisco IOS XR software. After this
infrastructure is established, the interfaces behave like other physical ethernet interfaces on the router.
The ICPE configuration covers these functional areas, which are each required to set up full connectivity with
a Satellite device:
Defining the Satellite nV System
Each satellite that is to be attached to Cisco IOS XR software must be configured on the host, and also be
provided with a unique identifier. In order to provide suitable verification of configuration and functionality,
the satellite type, and its capabilities must also be specified.
Further, in order to provide connectivity with the satellite, an IP address must be configured, which will be
pushed down to the satellite through the Discovery protocol, and allows Control protocol connectivity.
This task explains how to define the satellite system by assigning an ID and basic identification information.
DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.configure
Step 1
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters the nV configuration submode.nv
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# nv
Step 2
Declares a new satellite that is to be attached to the host and enters the
satellite configuration submode.
satellite Sat ID
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-nV)#
satellite <100-65534>
Step 3
Serial number is used for satellite authentication.
serial-number string
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-satellite)#
serial-number CAT1521B1BB
Step 4
(Optional) Specifies any description string that is associated with a
satellite such as location and so on.
description string
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-satellite)#
description Milpitas Building12
