Satellite System Configuration: Example
This example shows a sample configuration for setting up the connectivity of a Satellite System.
Satellite Global Configuration 
The satellite ID, type, serial number, description, and satellite IP address are configured in the satellite 
global configuration submode:
nv
 satellite 100
  type asr9000v
serial-number CAT1521B1BB
description milpitas bldg20
  ipv4 address 10.0.0.100
 !
! 
ICL (satellite-fabric-link) Interface Configuration
On the interface connected to the satellite (TenGig or Bundle interface), the ports associated with the 
satellite ID must be specified. All fabric links connected to the same satellite must use the same (host) 
IPv4 address. The same or different host IPv4 addresses can be used for the same host to connect to 
different satellites.
interface Loopback1000
 ipv4 address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
interface TenGigE0/2/1/0
 description To Sat5 1/46
 ipv4 point-to-point
 ipv4 unnumbered Loopback1000
 nv
  satellite-fabric-link satellite 200
   remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-30

Note These examples illustrate using IP addresses from the global VRF of the router for satellite management 
traffic. As discussed Satellite Discovery and Control Protocol IP Connectivity section, this can also be 
done using a private VRF, to prevent IP address conflict with the global VRF. In this case, the loopback 
interface and the ICL interfaces in the examples must be assigned to the private VRF dedicated for 
satellite management traffic.
