About This Guide

This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration examples to provision Input/Output modules (IOMs), XMA Control Modules (XCMs), also referred to as cards, Media Dependent Adapters (MDAs), XRS Media Adapters (XMAs), and ports.

This guide is organized into functional chapters and provides concepts and descriptions of the implementation flow, as well as Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and command usage.

Unless otherwise specified, the topics and commands described in this document apply to the:

7450 ESS applicability statements refer to the 7450 ESS when it is not running in mixed mode. 7750 SR applicability statements refer to the 7750 SR-7/12, 7750 SR-12e, 7750 SR-c4/c12, 7750 SR-a4/a8 and 7750 SR-e1/e2/e3 platforms unless otherwise specified.

Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ depending on supported functionality and user configuration.

Interface Configuration Process

Table 1 lists the tasks necessary to configure IOMs and XCMs (also referred to as cards), MDAs and XMAs, and ports.

Note: For consistency across platforms, XMAs are modeled in the SR OS (CLI and SNMP) as MDAs. Unless specified otherwise: the term "card" is used generically to refer to both IOMs and XCMs the term "MDA" is used generically to refer to both MDAs and XMAs
