After creating the software repositories, configure the satellite. The satellite configuration is required to create a satellite binding to a satellite ID, and to provide more information that uniquely identifies the satellite chassis, chassis type, and the software repository to be used to boot the remote satellite.
The following can be specified for a satellite:
MAC address
The satellite chassis MAC address must be specified. This is used to bind a specific chassis to the associated satellite ID. (The local host router boots only satellites with configured MAC addresses.) This is mandatory.
satellite type
The satellite chassis type must be specified and must match the chassis type that the satellite advertises during the boot process. This is mandatory.
software repository
A preconfigured software repository must be specified in the satellite configuration. This defines the location of the software image to boot the associated 7210 SAS-Sx. This is mandatory.
enabled state
By default, a new satellite is in the disabled state and must be administratively enabled. This is mandatory.
description
Configure an optional description string associated with the satellite.
sync-e
Enable sync-e for an Ethernet satellite.
