Next, invoke the CLI configuration trunk script using the source command, as shown
below:
*cli> source “/tmp/trunkconfig.cli”
This command applies the trunk configuration tothe trunk portsyou have configured. Note
that additional traps may be generated at this time to signal the changes in the status of the
trunk ports. Such trap messages are normal.
Step 8 If you are installing a new LS2020 switch with two NPs, return to the earlier section
“Connecting the Terminal to the NP.” Repeat the configuration procedures from that point
to configure the second NP for your LS2020 switch.
Upon completion of the basic configuration procedures for the NP(s) in your LS2020 chassis,
continue as described in the following section, “How to Proceed.”
How to Proceed
This section describes actions you should take after installing a new LS2020 switch.
Running Diagnostics
To ensure that the newly installed LS2020 switch is working properly, run the hardware diagnostics
described in the LightStream 2020 Hardware Reference & Troubleshooting Guide.
Starting Maintenance Log
Keep a maintenance log for each LS2020 switch in your network. At a minimum, you should record
the following information:
• The node name and its IP address
• Passwords
• The date and description of every maintenance or repair procedure performed on the LS2020
switch, such as replacement of a faulty line card, power tray, and so forth.
• The chassis ID, modem initialization string, and modem password, all of which are stored in
EEPROMs on the midplane.
