3.9 Preprovisioning Guidelines
The 7705 SAR platforms each have 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 about management connections, refer to the appropriate
chassis installation guide, in the section on router management connections.
3.9.1 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.
3.9.2 Preprovisioning a Port or SCADA Bridge
Before a port or SCADA bridge can be configured, the adapter card slot must be
preprovisioned with an allowed adapter card type (for a SCADA bridge, the only type
allowed is isc, for the Integrated Services card).
Preprovisioning recommendations (for ports only) include:
• Ethernet
− Configure an access port for customer-facing traffic on which services are
configured.
− Configure a network port for uplink traffic.
