Chapter 3 Configuring General Router Features
Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface
To configure the hostname, type the hostname command with the RSP name as shown in the following
example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# hostname SDR_SJ
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Apr 7 00:07:33.246 : config[65669]: %LIBTARCFG-6-COMMIT : Configuration
committed by user 'user_a'. Use 'show configuration commit changes 1000000067' to view
the changes.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RP_SJ(config)#
The preceding example sets the RSP name to RP_SJ.
Note No blanks or spaces are permitted as part of a name. Do not expect case to be preserved. Uppercase and
lowercase characters look the same to many Internet software applications. It may seem appropriate to
capitalize a name the same way you might if you were writing, but conventions dictate that computer
names appear all lowercase. For more information, see RFC 1178, Choosing a Name for Your Computer.
Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface
The Management Ethernet interface on the RSPs is used to connect the router to a network for remote
management using a Telnet client, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other
management agents. The following sections provide information on the Management Ethernet interface:
• Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands, page 3-32
• Viewing the Available Management Ethernet Interfaces, page 3-33
• Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface, page 3-33
Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands
Before you can configure the Management Ethernet interface, you must know the Management Ethernet
interface name, which is defined using the following syntax:
typerack/slot/module/port. Table 3-6
describes the Management Ethernet interface name syntax.
Ta b l e 3-6 Management Ethernet Interface Name Syntax Description
Syntax Components Description
type Interface type for a Management Ethernet port is “MgmtEth.”
rack Chassis number of the rack. In a single-shelf system, the rack is always
“0.”
slot Physical slot of the RSP on which the interface is located. For a Cisco ASR
9000 Series router, the RSP slot is “RSP0” or “RSP1.”
module On an RSP, the module is “CPU0.” RSPs have two processors, so the
module is either “CPU0” and “CPU1.”
port On a Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, one Ethernet port labeled MGMT
ETH exists on each RSP. Specify 0 for the MGMT ETH interface on an
RSP.
