Plug and Play Satellite nV Switch Turn up: (Rack, Plug, and Go installation)
1. Unpack the Cisco ASR 9000v rack, stack, and connect to the power cord.
2. Plug in Cisco ASR 9000v qualified optics of correct type into any one or more of the SFP+ slots and
appropriate qualified optics into SFP+ or XFP slots on the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.
Connect through the SMF/MMF fiber.
Note Connect the 10GigE fibers from Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to any of the 10G SFP+ ports on the
Cisco ASR 9000v in any order.
3. Configure the satellite nV system through CLI or XML on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router host
10GigE ports. Configure the host for nV operations as described in the sections Defining the
Satellite nV System, Configuring the host IP address, and Configuring the Inter-Chassis Links and
IP Connectivity.
4. Power up the Cisco ASR 9000v chassis.
5. You can check the status of Cisco ASR 9000v chassis based on these chassis error LEDs on the front
face plate.
–
If the Critical Error LED turns ON, then it indicates a serious hardware failure.
–
If the Major Error LED turns ON, then it indicates that the hardware is functioning well but
unable to connect to the host.
–
If the Critical and Major LEDs are OFF, then the Cisco ASR 9000v is up and running and
connected to the host.
–
You can do satellite ethernet port packet loopback tests through the host, if needed, to check end
to end data path.
Note If the satellite software requires an upgrade, it notifies the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. You can
do an inband software upgrade from the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, if needed. Use the
show nv satellite status on host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to check the status.
