Cable-management bracket


If you have not already done so, run the line card cables, port adapter cables, SPA cables, and input/output cables through the cable-management brackets.

6 Start the System

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

This section provides instructions for attaching the power cables to the router and powering on the router.

The Cisco 7304 router comes with either an AC or DC power supply. A redundant AC or DC power supply option is available. Using an AC and DC power supply in the same chassis simultaneously is not supported.

Step 1 Plug the power cable into the AC-input power receptacle on the AC-input power supply.

Step 2 Plug the AC power supply cable into the AC power source.

Connect DC-Input Power

Warning Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Note The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.

Note Install a 20A maximum, 60 VDC listed breaker at the power source.

Step 1 Ensure that the power switch is in the standby (off) position.

Step 2 Ensure that the -V and +V leads are disconnected from the power source.

Note Use only 12-AWG or 2.5-mm copper installation wire.

Step 3 Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 0.55 inch (14 mm) from the -V and +V leads.

Note Do not use soft-soldering to consolidate the strands.

DC-input power leads

   

Step 4 Insert the stripped end of the ground lead all the way into the ground lead receptacle on the DC-input power supply and tighten the receptacle screw using a 1/8-inch flat-blade screwdriver. (See Figure 17.)

Step 5 Insert the stripped end of the + DC power line input lead all the way into the + lead receptacle and tighten the receptacle screw using the same 1/8-inch flat-blade screwdriver. Repeat Step 5 for the - DC power line input lead.

Note Make sure the entire stripped end of each lead is inserted all the way into its receptacle. If any exposed wire at the stripped end of a lead is visible after inserting the lead into its receptacle, remove the lead from the receptacle, use the wire stripper to cut the stripped end of the lead, and repeat Step 3 through Step 5.

Step 6 After tightening the receptacle screw for the ground and DC power line input leads, use a cable tie to secure the three leads to the power supply faceplate.

Note When securing the ground and DC power line input leads to the power supply faceplate, leave a small service loop in the ground lead to ensure that it is the last lead to disconnect from the power supply if a great deal of strain is placed on all three leads (refer to Figure 17).

Step 7 Connect the ground and DC power line input leads to the power source.

Note After powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.

Observe System Startup and Perform a Basic Configuration

Check conditions prior to system startup:

Step 1 Check that all hardware parts and cables are securely attached to the chassis.

Step 2 Check that line card configuration information is available, if needed.

Step 3 Check that a CompactFlash Disk is installed.

Step 4 Check that the console terminal is turned on.

Start the Router

Step 1 Plug the power supply cable into the power source. Switch power on. Verify that the INPUT OK LED is on and green.

Step 2 Listen for the fans; they should be operating as soon as power is turned on. Verify that the FAN OK LED is on and green.

Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The SYSTEM-UP LED comes on immediately as yellow, then turns to green when IOS is booted. When the SYSTEM-UP LED turns off, ROMmon has completed the boot up process and the system either is in the autoboot stage or displays a Router> prompt.

Step 4 Observe the initialization process. The LEDs on the line card behave differently (most flash on and off).

The following illustrations and tables provide information about the NSE-100, NSE-150, and NPE-G100 LEDs as the system starts.

7 Configure the Router

Perform a Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility

You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.

The router may take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP host. Once the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the setup facility.

Configure Global Parameters

When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port, and then boot the router.

The system boots from Flash memory. The following information appears after about 30 seconds. When you see this information, you have successfully booted your router:

The first two sections of the configuration script (the banner and the installed hardware) appear only at initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the setup facility, the script begins with a System Configuration Dialog as shown in the following example. 

		--- System Configuration Dialog ---

		 

		At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

		Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

		Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Step 2 When asked if you want to enter the initial configuration dialog and see the current interface summary, enter yes or press Return: 

		Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes]:


		First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]:

In the following example, the summary shows a Cisco 7304 router at first-time startup; that is, nothing is configured.

Step 3 Choose which protocols to support on your interfaces. For Internet Protocol (IP)-only installations, you can accept the default values for most of the questions. A typical configuration using IP, IPX, and AppleTalk follows and continues through Step 8: 

		Configuring global parameters: 

 		Enter host name [Router]:

Step 4 Enter enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal passwords: 

		The enable secret password is a one-way cryptographic secret  
		password used instead of the enable password when it exists.


		Enter enable secret: barney


		The enable password is used when there is no enable secret 
		password and when using older software and some boot images.


		Enter enable password: betty


		Enter virtual terminal password: fred

Step 5 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported open standard for network management. It provides a means to access and set configuration and run-time parameters of routers and communication servers. SNMP defines a set of functions that can be used to monitor and control network elements.

Enter yes or press Return to accept SNMP management; enter no to refuse it: 

		Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]:

    		Community string [public]:

Step 6 For the following queries, do not enable VINES, LAT, DECnet, CLNS, bridging, XNS, or Apollo: 

		Configure Vines? [no]:

		Configure LAT? [no]:

		Configure DECnet? [no]:

		Configure CLNS? [no]:

		Configure bridging? [no]:

		Configure XNS? [no]:

		Configure Apollo? [no]:

Step 7 For the following queries, enable routing on AppleTalk and IPX: 

		Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes

   		Multizone networks? [no]: yes


		Configure IPX? [no]: yes

Step 8 In most cases you use IP routing. If you are using IP routing, you must also select an interior routing protocol. You can specify only one of two interior routing protocols to operate on your system using the setup facility: Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP). To configure IP routing, enter yes (the default) or press Return, and then select an interior routing protocol: 

		Configure IP? [yes]:

   		Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:

      		Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15

The following sample display includes a continuous listing of all configuration parameters selected in Step 3 through Step 8. Only IP, IPX, and AppleTalk are the selected protocols for this example. 


		Configuring global parameters:

		Enter host name [Router]: router

		The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic secret used

		instead of the enable password when it exists.

		Configure RIP routing? [no]:

		Configure CLNS? [no]: no		

		Configure bridging? [no]: 

		Configure IPX? [no]: yes

		Configure XNS? [no]: 

		Configure Apollo? [no]:

Step 9 Save your settings to NVRAM. See the "Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section. If you do not save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Debug

Cisco IOS provides two commands to provide information on your interfaces: show interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is either 0 or 1) and show controllers GigabitEthernet 0/X  (where X is either 0 or 1).

The output of the show interface command is useful for determining the current operating mode of the interface (speed/duplex/media-type) and the current interface statistics.

The output of the show controller command displays more information specific to the Cisco 7304 router Gigabit Ethernet interface. For example, it shows the detected link status, speed, and duplex, and also determines the current status of autonegotiation and the link partners' abilities (if it is an autonegotiation-capable interface). (Speed and duplex are always full duplex, 1000-Mbps.)

The show controller command also displays the current operating state of the driver and the Ethernet controller hardware. The show controller command is a very powerful debugging aid, especially for Cisco engineers should you need help in debugging a problem. If you have any problems with your Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, you will need to provide this information to Cisco for analysis.

Reset the Interface

Should you have a problem with your interface and wish to try and reset it, use the command:

clear interface GigabitEthernet 0/X    (where X is either 0 or 1)

Clear Counters

Interface counters may be cleared (reset) by using the command:

clear counters GigabitEthernet 0/X    (where X is either 0 or 1)

Using this command will not reset the interface.

Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM

To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the Router# prompt: 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Check the Running Configuration Settings

To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the Router# prompt: 

Router# show running-config

To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to display the information stored in NVRAM.

View Your System Configuration

You can use the show version (or show hardware) and the show c7300 commands to display the system hardware, the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images. Use the show c7300 command to determine what type of line card is installed.

For specific information on the show version, show c7300, and other commands, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.

Perform Complex Configurations

After you have installed your Cisco 7304 router hardware and minimally configured the system, you might need to perform more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.

For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.

Replace or Recover a Lost Password

See the Cisco 7304 Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, "Starting and Configuring," for instructions. It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted and must be replaced with a new enable secret password.

8 Troubleshoot Startup Problems

Which prompt do you see on the console?

•None: See the "Check the LEDs" section.

•Garbled: See the "Check Terminal Settings" section.

•ROMmon prompt: See the "ROMmon prompt: rommon # >" section.

•Router in Boot Mode: See the "Router in Boot Mode: Router (boot)>" section.

Check the LEDs

If you get no response from the console after pressing Return a couple times, check the NSE and power supply LEDs. Refer to the "Start the Router" section for LED information.

Check Terminal Settings

Terminal Settings

•9600 baud rate

•8 data bits

•No parity

•2 stop bits

•No flow control

ROMmon prompt: rommon # >

Use this procedure to recover a router stuck in ROMmon mode (rommon # > prompt).

Step 1 Using the dev command, see which devices are available on your router. 

	rommon 1 > dev

	Devices in device table:

        id  name

	 bootdisk:  boot disk                  

   	 	disk0:  PCMCIA slot 0              

   	 	eprom:  eprom 

	rommon 2 >

Step 2 Using the dir [device-ID] command, look for a valid Cisco IOS image. The device ID is bootdisk: or disk0:, corresponding to the CompactFlash Disks inserted in their respective slots. 

	rommon 3 > dir disk0:

	Directory of disk0:


	3      4965400   -rw-     c7300-js-mz.121-99.WS_DAILY_BUILD_20010706

	1216    1867      -rw-     running-config

	rommon 4 >

Step 3 Try to boot from the valid Cisco IOS image. 

	rommon 5 > boot disk0:c7300-js-mz.121-99.WS_DAILY_BUILD_20010706


	Self decompressing the image : 			############################################################### 
################################################################################################## 
################################################################################################## 
################################################################################################## 
[OK]

Step 4 If the image is valid, this brings you back to normal operation mode. Confirm that the boot variable and configuration register contain values to point to this image. 

	Router# show bootvariable

	BOOT variable = disk0:c7300-js-mz.121-99.WS_DAILY_BUILD_20010706,12

	CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

	BOOTLDR variable = 

	Configuration register is 0x2101


	Router# conf t

	Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Step 5 Enter no boot system to erase all previously defined boot variables. 

	Router(config)# no boot system

	Router(config)# boot system disk0:c7304-js-mz.121.99

	Router(config)#^Z

	Router#

	22:51:40: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

A newly defined variable does not go into effect yet, as seen from show bootvariable. 

	Router# show bootvariable

	BOOT variable = disk0:c7300-js-mz.121-99.WS_DAILY_BUILD_20010706,12

	CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

	BOOTLDR variable = 

	Configuration register is 0x2102

The newly defined variable only takes effect after using the copy running-config startup-config command or after a save of system configuration during the reload command. 

	Router# copy running-config startup-config

	Building configuration...

	[OK]

	Router#sh bootv

	BOOT variable = disk0:c7304-js-mz.121.99,12

	CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

	BOOTLDR variable = 

	Configuration register is 0x2102

Step 6 If none of the images are valid, use the boot image to download a valid Cisco IOS software image using a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.

a. Change the configuration register to boot the boot image by setting the configuration register as follows, depending on the prompt you have: 

	rommon 1 > confreg 0x2101

b. Boot the boot image by resetting the router. (You must reset or power cycle the router for the new configuration to take effect.) 

    rommon 2 > reset


       or

    > i

The System Bootstrap message appears and the router loads an image from bootdisk. On the screen, you should see something similar to the following: 


System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(9) [biff-ws28 124], RELEASED SOFTWARE

[OK]

              Restricted Rights Legend

You should now have a prompt similar to Router (boot)>. Upgrade the Cisco IOS software by following the procedure in the "Router in Boot Mode: Router (boot)>" section.

Note Another option is to boot from an image copied from another router. 

rommon 3 > boot disk0:c7300-js-mz (where disk0:is the flash disk with the image c7300-js-mz copied from 
another Cisco 7304 router)

Step 7 If you are still in ROMmon mode, that means your boot image is either missing or corrupted. If your router has no valid image in disk0: or bootdisk:, and no other ROMmon upgrade procedure, the only way to recover is to use the CompactFlash Disk on another 7304 router, download the image on that router, and then move the CompactFlash Disk to the one with a corrupt or missing boot image.

If you do not have another Cisco 7304 router, call TAC to request a CompactFlash Disk with a valid boot image.

Using the bootldr Command

Use the bootldr command to specify an image to boot the system in the case of a system crash. You can use the bootldr command in IOS or in ROMmon mode.

You can use the bootldr command in IOS: 

Router> enable

Router#> config

Router(config)# boot bootldr bootdisk:c7300-boot-mz-my-image

Router# copy running-config startup-config

The show bootvar command can be used in ROMmon mode to verify that parameter settings are correct.


In cases where the system will not boot up, you can also use the bootldr command in ROMmon mode. First check to see if bootldr is set correctly: 

ROMMON> set

If bootldr is not set correctly, set it with the correct image: 

ROMMON> BOOTLDR="bootdisk:c7300-boot-mz-my-image"

Caution Be careful of typographical errors in ROMmon mode as there is no error checking.

You can use the ROMmon command sync to save the current parameters that remain after a power cycle to NVRAM.

Use the set command to check your configuration.

Router in Boot Mode: Router (boot)>

If the router is in boot mode, it means the router has a corrupt or missing Cisco IOS image. Use this procedure to upgrade the Cisco IOS software.

Step 1 Set the configuration register value to 0x0 for the next reload.

Note Do not save anything while you are in boot mode. Do not use the saving commands (write mem or copy run start) and answer no to any prompt suggesting that you save your current configuration. If you save while you are in this mode, your configuration can be partially or completely erased. 

Router(boot)>

Router(boot)>enable

Password: password

Router(boot)# conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router(boot)(config)# con

Router(boot)(config)# config-register 0x0

Router(boot)(config)# ^Z

Step 2 Verify the TFTP server has IP connectivity to the router by confirming that the router IP address and default gateway (if necessary) are set. Ping the router to verify that a network connection exists between it and the TFTP server.

Step 3 Copy the new software image from the TFTP server to the router. (Keep a copy of the router configuration before upgrading the router software.) 

Router> enable

Password: password

Router#

Router# copy tftp disk0:

Step 4 Specify the IP address of the TFTP server. 

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.17.247.195

Step 5 Specify the filename of the new Cisco IOS software image. 

Source file name? c7300-js-mz.121-9.E

Note The image name varies depending on the filename of the image on the TFTP server.

Step 6 Specify the destination image filename. This is the name the new software image will have when it is loaded onto the router. The image can be named anything, but common practice is to enter the UNIX image filename. 

Destination file name c7300-js-mz.121-9.EP

The copying process takes several minutes; the time differs from network to network. During the copy process, messages are displayed to indicate which files have been accessed.

The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets were transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory. The router reloads itself with the new image when the software upgrade is complete.

Step 7 Reload the router. 

Router(boot)# reload

*Mar 1 00:30:49.972: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: NO

Proceed with reload? [confirm] YES

Because the configuration register is set to 0x0, the router will go into ROMmon when you reload and you will load the image you just copied. Follow the instructions in the "ROMmon prompt: rommon # >" section.

Step 8 Change the boot variable and configuration register to contain values to point to the image you copied. 

rommon 1 > confreg 0x2101

Step 9 Use the show version command to verify that the router is running with the proper image.

9 After Installation

For installation and configuration information and specifications for field-replaceable units (FRUs) such as the network processing engine or network services engine, power supply, SODIMMs, GBICs and SFP modules, CompactFlash Disks, see the online Cisco 7304 Installation and Configuration Guide, the Cisco 7304 Network Services Engine Installation and Configuration, and the Cisco 7304 Network Processing Engine Installation and Configuration documentation.

For information on line cards, carrier card, port adapter, modular services card, and shared port adapters, see the Cisco 7304 Router Line Card, Carrier Card, Port Adapter, Modular Services Card, and Shared Port Adapter Documentation Roadmap document.

Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7304 router that is rack-mounted, remove the line cards, port adapter carrier cards, modular services cards, and processing engines from the chassis and reinstall them. Install a processing engine in the lowest slot first, then populate the slots above it, in a bottom-to-top order.
