Basic NSP Configuration
Network Management Ethernet Interface
Enabling NME Consolidation on the NSP
The method used to enable the combined NME interface on the NSP depends on whether or not the NSP
was upgraded to or preloaded with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or later.
Enabling NME Consolidation on a New NSP Preloaded with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or Later
On an NSP that is preloaded with a Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or later software image, NME
consolidation is already included in the default configuration.
If your NSP does not use a DHCP server to obtain an IP address, you must configure a static IP address.
Complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:
Command
Purpose
Step1
Switch(config)# interface BV11
Selects the interface used for NME consolidation.
Step2
Switch(config-if)# ip address address subnet
Configures the static IP and subnetwork address.
Example—NME Consolidation

interface BVI1
ip address 172.20.40.93 255.255.255.0

Enabling NME Consolidation on an NSP Upgraded to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or Later
To enable NME consolidation on an NSP upgraded from a Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)DB or earlier
software image, complete the following tasks:
•
Task 1: Removing the IP Addresses from the Ethernet 0/0/0 and Ethernet 0/0/1 Interfaces
•
Task 2: Setting up the Bridge Group
•
Task 3: Configuring the NME Interface
Task 1: Removing the IP Addresses from the Ethernet 0/0/0 and Ethernet 0/0/1 Interfaces
To remove the IP addresses from the Ethernet 0/0/0 and Ethernet 0/0/1 interfaces, complete the
following steps beginning in global configuration mode:
Command
Purpose
Step1
Switch(config)# interface ethernet 0/0/0
Selects the Ethernet 0/0/0 interface.
Step2
Switch(config-if)# no ip address
Removes the IP address from the interface.
Step3
Switch(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/0/1
Selects the Ethernet 0/0/1 interface.
Step4
Switch(config-if)# no ip address
Removes the IP address from the interface.
Step5
Switch(config-if)# exit
Returns to global configuration mode
