Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter
Step 4. Run dev1config to create grdev1.conf
SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2 October 22, 1999 2-31
Step 4. Run dev1config to create grdev1.conf
The dev1config command creates configuration files that are necessary for the set up of your
SP Switch Router Adapter card, including
/etc/grdev1.conf file.
This command creates the /etc/grdev1.conf file that contains the null values for the SP
Switch Router Adapter MIB. Your SP Switch Router Adapter card configuration will fail if you
do not run this command.
! Caution: You cannot verify that the parameters have been set in /etc/grdev1.conf until
after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch.
There are two ways to get configuration parameters into the /etc/grdev1.conf file.
Method 1: Recommended, use SP SNMP Manager
This is the method recommended for configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter card. From a
system point of view, it is appropriate to treat the SP Switch Router Adapter card as an
extension node in the SP system. All configuration parameters should be entered using the
SMIT panels.
Refer specifically to the “Managing Extension Nodes” chapter in the PSSP Administration
Guide for information about setting up SNMP to monitor the SP Switch Router system and
configure the SP Switch Router Adapter media card.
This is the same configuration information as described earlier in Method 1 of Step 2. These
parameters will only be available in the
/etc/grdev1.conf file after the SP Switch Router
Adapter card is activated on the SP switch.
Method 2: Optional, edit /etc/grdev1.conf
On the SP Switch Router, edit the /etc/grdev1.conf file to assign parameters to each
logical SP Switch Router interface. These parameters are described on the next page.
Remember that if you enter configuration information into SP Switch Router configuration
files, you also need to access the SMIT panels and re-enter information those panels require.
How to run the command
You must run the dev1config command while you are logged on to the SP Switch Router.
Log on and start the UNIX shell using the sh command:
super> sh
#
Enter the dev1config command:
# dev1config
Then, after the SP Switch Router Adapter card is activated on the SP switch, use the vi editor
command to open the
/etc/grdev1.conf file and verify that it does contain the
configuration data.
