Important safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply to the GRF router models GRF-4-AC, GRF-4-DC,
GRF-16-AC, and GRF-16-DC except as noted:
1 Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the manual.
2 Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers and/or components may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
3 The maximum recommended ambient temperature for all GRF router models is 104˚
Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius). Care should be given to allow sufficient air circulation or space between units when the GRF chassis is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient.
4 Slots and openings in the GRF cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, maintain a minimum of 4 inches clearance on the top and sides of the GRF 400 router, and a minimum of 6 inches on the top and sides of the GRF 1600 router.
5 Installation of the GRF 400 or 1600 in a rack without sufficient air flow can be unsafe.
6 If a GRF router is installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports.
- A fully loaded, redundant-power GRF 400 weighs 38.5 lbs (17.3 kg).
- A fully loaded, single-power GRF 400 weighs 32.5 lbs (14.6 kg).
- A four card, redundant-power GRF 1600 weighs 147 lbs (66.2 kg).
- A four card, single-power GRF 1600 weighs 127 lbs (57.2 kg).
7 The connections and equipment that supply power to GRF routers should be capable of operating safely with the maximum power requirements of the particular GRF model. In the event of a power overload, the supply circuits and supply wiring should not become hazardous.
8 Models with AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug - a plug which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
9 Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the AC receptacle for the presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a qualified electrician has corrected the problem. Similarly, in the case of DC input power, check the DC ground (s).
10 If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to determine another method of grounding the equipment.
11 Models with DC power inputs must be connected to an earth ground through the terminal block Earth/Chassis Ground connectors. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation.

About This Guide
What you should know
What you should know
Configuring and monitoring the GRF requires that a Network Administrator have experience with and an understanding of UNIX systems, and the ability to navigate in a UNIX environment. Knowledge of UNIX, its tools, utilities, and editors is useful, as is experience with administering and maintaining a UNIX system.
Configuring the GRF requires network experience and familiarity with:
– UNIX systems and commands
– IP protocol and routing operations
– IP internetworking
The Network Administrator must understand how TCP/IP internetworks are assembled; what interconnections represent legal topologies; how networks, hosts, and routers are assigned IP addresses and configured into operation; and how to determine and specify route table
(routing) information about the constructed internetwork(s). Although not required, a high-level understanding of SNMP is useful.

Control board
GRF 400 control board hardware runs the router management software (RMS). RMS is the communications and control software for the media cards. Other control board components are the system RAM, internal flash memory, switch hardware, Ethernet connector, and PCMCIA device slots. The control board is field-replaceable, but not hot swappable.

A hardware reset button, receptacles for Ethernet and RS-232 connections, and power, status and fault LEDs are on the control board’s faceplate, shown left.
PCMCIA slots can contain an external flash memory device and a
PCMCIA modem attachment.
The system can be reset by depressing the reset button, but a software command reset is preferable since it saves files and leaves the system in order.
LEDs provide status for control board and chassis components.
The faceplate speaker functions as a typical PC speaker, it chimes during system boot, for example. The control board has another component that sounds an audible alarm when the operating temperature level is exceeded.
The control board has temperature monitoring (sensor) and reporting (alarm) capabilities. The router management software provides a command (temp) to check the current board-surface operating temperature. If excessive temperature levels are reached, the router management software triggers the control board’s audible alarm. If levels are exceeded, the management software will shut the system down. The management software also monitors the power supply units, issuing power failure warnings to the user interface via grconslog if power problems are detected. The LEDs do not reflect the actual location of power supplies in the chassis: power supply 2 is on top, power supply 1 is on the bottom.
A 10/100 megabit Ethernet receptacle (autosensing) supports a connection to the administrative LAN. A set of four LEDs indicate status (Link OK), activity (XMT ACT, RCV ACT), and connection rate (if 100 Mbs).
TheVT-100 terminal attaches to the serial port.
Switch control
Each media card is on a switch port. Switch control manages media card requests to connect through the switch to the switch port occupied by a destination media card. Switch logic determines if the target port is available and, if it is, enables the connection. A special bus carries the request and grant traffic for available switch ports.

Figure 1-5. Memory components and options on the control board
RAM The GRF 400 is equipped with a minimum of 128MB of internal RAM, 32MB of which are permanently reserved for the file system, including logs and configuration files. The remaining 96MB are used by the operating system and user applications such as GateD.
System memory can be upgraded in 128MB increments up to a total of 512MB, including the
32MB always reserved for the file system. To permit the software to operate in the allocated memory, certain portions of standard UNIX, such as man page files, are omitted. Man pages for GRF commands are maintained.
Because file system space is limited, you should configure logging to be done remotely via
syslog or locally to external flash. Additional system memory supports route tables and other protocol data, and cannot be used for storing logs.
Internal flash The GRF has an internal 85MB ATA flash device from which the system boots. This memory is available for storing different versions of operating software and site configurations.
External flash PCMCIA slots on the control board support various sizes of ATA flash devices. Although external flash can be used to back up and share router configurations among multiple GRF systems, a GRF cannot boot from an external flash device. Local logging and dumping to external flash is also supported. The grwrite command writes files from system
RAM to internal flash, grsnapshot copies files between internal and external flash devices.
Commands for flash device management are discussed in the GRF Configuration and
management manual.
PCMCIA devices PCMCIA slot A is used for a portable external flash device. A PCMCIA modem device can operate in either slot A or B. Instructions for configuring the modem and a disk device are in chapter 4.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 400
Overview of the GRF 400 base unit
Fans
Three intake fans push air across the media cards, control board, and power supplies. Warmed air exhausts out the side vents next to the power supplies. If the unit is installed in a rack, the sides of the GRF chassis should not be adjacent to a device in the next rack. Be sure that the intake vents do not draw in air exhausted by another device. Fans are not swappable. They are part of the GRF 400 chassis and must be replaced by certified personnel.
Fan “too slow” message
You may occasionally see a message in the /messages log file similar to this:
Jul 20 04:00:25 tn-btvt-1-E0-1 kernel: rmb0: RMB Fan 0 is too slow
This message can be generated when the low-priority task of updating the fan rotation count has been replaced by a higher-priority communication bus activity. Unless you see it repeated frequently in a five-minute period, you can ignore it. If the message is repeated, use the grrmb
temp command to check the chassis temperature.
Backplane
The GRF 400 backplane spans the width of the chassis and is fixed in place. The backplane is not a field replaceable unit.
The backplane supplies power to the media cards and control board. The control board and media cards exchange configuration and status information through the 80 megabit/second communications bus located on the backplane.
Communications bus
The communications bus (com bus) is a separate data path for configuration, control, monitoring functions. This bus connects the control board to the media cards independently of the switch connection to each card, and is not used for routed data between media cards. Route table update packets received by the media cards are also sent across the com bus to the router manager software and do not compete with normal IP data traffic.
Battery
The control board has a small 3V lithium battery to store BIOS CMOS configuration and for powering the real time clock if the GRF is powered off.
!
Caution: Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Vorsicht : Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen gleichwertigen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.
Attention: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.

Power supplies
The GRF 400 can use either AC or DC (negative 48VDC) power supplies. GRF systems are shipped with the power supply installed. Power supplies are housed in open frame drawers for cooling by the chassis fans. Only qualified personnel can service and replace GRF 400 power supplies.
Remember that the GRF 400 does not have a power on/off switch. When the power supplies receive current, the GRF powers on and, since the software is already loaded, immediately begins to boot.
Redundant units
Two power supplies can be installed for redundancy. When two units are present, both are active, load-sharing devices. If one fails, the other unit ramps up to provide the full load. Each power supply has an LED on the control board.
Looking from the cabling end of the chassis, the power supplies are mounted on the left side.
The bottom power supply is numbered 1, and the upper supply is numbered 2. In a non-redundant system, the single power supply unit can be installed in either 1 or 2, it does not matter.
If a unit failure occurs in a redundant system, the failed unit can be hot swapped out. The unit being removed must be unplugged or disconnected from its AC or DC power source.
Failure notification
If a power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The
/var/log/gr.console
log file will also contain related messages. The green PS1-OK or
PS2-OK LED on the control board goes off to indicate a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.

Description of the AC power supply
Description of the AC power supply
The GRF 400 400W AC power supply provides +5V to all media cards, control board, and backplane. Remember that the GRF 400 chassis does not have a power on/off switch. When you plug the AC power supply cord into a live outlet, the GRF powers on and, since the software is already loaded, immediately begins to boot.
The GRF 400 can be ordered with one or a redundant pair of AC power supply units. The AC unit is available only from Lucent.
Powering on a GRF 400 power supply is described in Chapter 3.
A note about redundant AC supplies
When the GRF 400 is equipped with redundant AC power supplies, please note the following when powering on (plugging) or powering off (unplugging) the GRF unit:
Caution: This unit has two power supply cords. For total isolation from electrical shock and energy hazard, disconnect both supply cords. Care must be taken to correctly connect each power supply to separate AC power sources and (optional) UPS devices.
Vorsicht : Dieses Gerät hat zwei Netzanschlusskabel. Um das Gerät vollständig von Netz zu trennen ziehen Sie beide Kabel ab, sonst können Sie einen elektrischen Schlag erhalten.
Achten Sie darauf, daß jedes Stromkabel mit einer separaten Wechselstromquelle und einem separaten USV-Gerät verbunden wird.
Attention : Cet appareil a deux cordons d’alimentation électrique. Pour une isolation complète de tout choc électrique et de danger énergétique, débrancher les deux cordons d’alimentation.
Incompatibilities between AC power supply models
For some time the GRF 400 has been equipped with 400W power supplies manufactured by
Astec.
The standard AC power supply is being switched to a unit manufactured by Artesyn
(previously Zytec). Refer to Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7 for front panel illustrations of both
types of power supplies.
The Astec and Artesyn power supplies are incompatible. The two models do not consistently support load sharing between them, and their incompatibilities can mask a unit failure. As a result, the two models must not be installed together in the same GRF 400 chassis.
This installation requirement is critical in the following situations:
• when a system with a single Astec unit intends to install a second unit for redundancy.
If you intend to add a redundant unit to a GRF 400 with a single Astec unit installed (black handle), you must switch to two Artesyn units.
• when a system with dual Astec units has a failure and needs a replacement unit.
If you have a failure in a GRF 400 configured with dual Astec units, you must switch to two Artesyn units.

Installation preview
Now that you are familiar with the GRF 400, this page gives you a preview of the tasks you will do to install the GRF, and what the other chapters in this Getting Started manual cover:
1 Rack mount and ground the GRF chassis. (chapter 3)
2 Insert any additional media cards. The GRF is shipped with all ordered media cards installed, if you have others to install, insert them now. (chapter 3)
3 Attach a VT 100-compatible terminal or laptop PC to the serial port (RS-232) on the GRF control board. The terminal is used to enter the initial IP configuration information and to monitor system boot. Later you can connect the GRF to the administrative Ethernet and disconnect the terminal. (chapter 3)
4 Power on the GRF by plugging in the AC power supply or wiring the DC power supply.
The GRF has no on/off switch, and ships with software already loaded. When you apply current to the power supplies, the GRF begins to boot. Watch the control board LEDs to see the status of the system during and after boot. (chapter 3)
5 The first time a GRF is powered on, a configuration script automatically runs. The script prompts you to enter the router’s system IP address and host name. You must supply this information to communicate with the GRF and to later connect the GRF to your administrative Ethernet. (chapter 4)
The script also prompts you to begin to configure remote logging by setting up a syslog server. If you choose to configure “local” logging to a PCMCIA device, just press the
<Enter> key at those prompts.
6 Log in as root . Optionally, you can change the preset password for root . (chapter 4)
7 Configure logging, there are several options. Procedures to set up local PCMCIA and network logging are in this manual. (chapter 4)
Optionally, you can install and configure a PCMCIA modem connection to the GRF.
8 Connect the GRF maintenance Ethernet interface to your site’s administrative LAN. Use the Ethernet connector on the control board. If you like, you can now disconnect the VT
100 terminal. (chapter 4)
9 Attach the media card cables. (chapter 5)

Overview of the GRF 1600 base unit
Figure 2-2 shows the GRF 1600 base unit from the front of the cabinet. All cables and power
cords attach at the rear panel. The GRF 1600 chassis is organized into three sections.
In the top section, a pair of high-speed impeller fans draw air up through the media cards and exhaust it out vents on each side of the chassis. These vents must not be obstructed in any way.
When you install the GRF, you must provide a minimum of 6 inches of clearance on the sides of the unit and keep the front and back clear of obstruction. The backplane and system cards are installed in the middle section, above the air intake plenum. Intake vents are at each chassis side and front. Power supplies are in the bottom section. Their internal fans exhaust air out the lower chassis front and require a minimum of six inches of clearance.
Note the hand holds on the chassis sides, these are especially helpful when installing the GRF in a rack.

Media cards
Note: To operate properly, a GRF 1600 requires a minimum of two media cards installed.
Also, a face plate cover must be installed in any unused slot to maintain cooling flows.
The GRF 1600 has 16 media card slots, 0–15, a control board, and a switch board.Slots are

Chassis fans
Two motorized impeller fans cool the chassis, excluding the power supply compartment. The fans operate in tandem. At start-up, both fans operate at 100% of RPM capability. Gradually each fan slows down so that, in normal conditions, each fan operates at 50% speed. When the
GRF is plugged in, you can hear the changes in fan speeds. Tachometers on each fan unit ensure steady, sufficient airflow. When a tachometer detects that a fan is dropping below the
50% rate, it causes a signal to the other fan to speed up. When a problem occurs with either fan, the control board “FAN” LED lights. You can replace the fan tray on site, contact Lucent to order a replacement.
The amount of time the GRF 1600 can operate with a failed fan depends upon the number of installed media cards and the ambient air temperature. The temperature sensor on the control board shuts the GRF down if the operating temperature is exceeded.
A procedure to exchange the fan trays is in the “Management Tasks” chapter of the GRF
Configuration and Management manual.

A hardware reset button, receptacles for maintenance Ethernet and RS-232 connections, and power, fan, status and fault LEDs are on the board’s faceplate, shown left.
PCMCIA slots can contain an external flash memory device and a
PCMCIA modem attachment.
LEDs provide status for control board and chassis components.
The system can be reset by depressing the reset button, but a software command reset is preferable since it saves files and leaves the system in order.
The faceplate speaker functions as a typical PC speaker, it chimes during system boot, for example. The control board has another component that sounds an audible alarm when the operating temperature level is exceeded.
The control board has temperature monitoring (sensor) and reporting (alarm) capabilities. The router management software provides a command (temp) to check the current board-surface operating temperature. If excessive temperature levels are reached, the router management software triggers the control board’s audible alarm. If levels are exceeded, the management software will shut the system down. The management software also monitors the power supply units, issuing power failure warnings to the user interface via grconslog if power problems are detected.
A 10/100 megabit Ethernet receptacle (autosensing) supports a connection to the administrative LAN. A set of four LEDs indicate status (Link OK), activity (XMT ACT, RCV ACT), and connection rate (if 100 Mbs).
TheVT-100 terminal attaches to the serial port.

Switch board
The 16x16 switch chip and switch control logic reside on the GRF 1600 switch board. The switch board is field-replaceable, but not hot swappable. It is installed to the right of the control board in the central chamber.
Switch control
Each media card is on a switch port. Switch control manages media card requests to connect through the switch to the switch port occupied by a destination media card. Switch logic determines if the target port is available and, if it is, enables the connection. A special bus carries the request and grant traffic for available switch ports.
Battery
The control board has a small 3V lithium battery to store BIOS CMOS configuration and for powering the real time clock if the GRF is powered off.
!
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Vorsicht : Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen gleichwertigen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.
Attention: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
Backplane
The GRF 1600 backplane spans the width of the chassis and is fixed in place. The backplane is not a field replaceable unit.
The backplane supplies power to the media cards and control board. The control board and media cards exchange configuration and status information through the 80 megabit/second communications bus located on the backplane.
Communications bus
The communications bus (com bus) is a separate data path for configuration, control, monitoring functions. This bus connects the control board to the media cards independently of the switch connection to each card, and is not used for routed data between media cards. Route table update packets received by the media cards are also sent across the com bus to the router manager software and do not compete with normal IP data traffic.

Figure 2-5. Memory components and options on the control board
RAM The GRF 1600 is equipped with a minimum of 128MB internal RAM, 32MB of which are permanently reserved for the file system, including logs and configuration files. The remaining 96MB are used by the operating system and user applications such as GateD.
System memory can be upgraded in 128MB increments up to a total of 512MB, including the
32MB always reserved for the file system. To permit the software to operate in the allocated memory, certain portions of standard UNIX, such as man page files, are omitted. Man pages for GRF commands are maintained.
Because file system space is limited, you should configure logging to be done remotely via
syslog or locally to external flash. Adding system memory only supports route tables and other protocol data, additional memory cannot be used for storing logs. Chapter 4 describes options for configuring external logging.
Internal flash The GRF has an internal 85MB ATA flash device from which the system boots. This memory is available for storing different versions of operating software and site configurations.
External flash PCMCIA slots on the control board support various sizes of ATA flash devices. Although external flash can be used to back up and share router configurations among multiple GRF systems, a GRF cannot boot from an external flash device. Local logging and dumping to external flash is also supported. The grwrite command writes files from system
RAM to internal flash, grsnapshot copies files between internal and external flash devices.
Commands for flash device management are discussed in the GRF Configuration and
management manual.
PCMCIA devices PCMCIA slot A is used for a portable external flash device. PCMCIA modem devices can operate in either slot A or B. Instructions for installing and configuring the modem and a disk device are in chapter 4.

Getting Acquainted with the GRF 1600
Overview of the GRF 1600 base unit
Power supply options
The GRF 1600 uses either AC or DC (negative 48VDC) power supplies. GRF systems are shipped with the power supply installed. Power supplies are housed at the bottom of the chassis in self-contained, self-cooled drawers. Visible from the cabling end of the chassis, power supply 1 (PS1 LED) is on the left, power supply 2 (PS2 LED) is on the right. In a non-redundant system, the single power supply unit can be installed in either 1 or 2, it does not matter. Only qualified personnel can service and replace GRF 1600 power supplies.
Two power supplies can be installed for redundancy. When two units are present, both are active, load-sharing devices. If one fails, the other unit ramps up to provide the full load. Each power supply has an LED (PS1, PS2) on the control board. If a unit failure occurs in a redundant system, the failed unit can be hot swapped out. The unit being removed must be unplugged or disconnected from its AC or DC power source.
Each power supply has an internal fan to cool that unit. Air is drawn in at the drawer front and exhausted out the rear of the drawer. If a power supply overheats, its internal regulators will shut the unit down.
Power supply failure notification
If a power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The gr.console
log file will also contain related messages. The amber PS1 or PS2 LED on the
GRF 1600 control board will come on to indicate a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.
Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certified personnel only.
Warnung: Das Netzteil darf nur von einer Fachkraft ausgewechselt werden.

AC drawer locking tab
The AC power supply drawers have a locking mechanisn that prevents anyone from removing a drawer while the unit has a power cord plugged in. Refer to the diagram below.
Before you plug the cord into the power supply, you can see that a plate covers part of the AC receptacle. You can easily slide this plate up to insert the cord. The locking tab stays up in the locked position and prevents the drawer from being pulled out while the power cord is plugged in.
The locking tab is at the top edge of the sliding plate. Immediately below the sliding plate and at either side of the receptacle are two small screws. These screws attach the AC receptacle to the drawer front. They also are used to attach a power cord clamp. The screws can be untightened 3 or 4 turns to allow the clamp to slide under, but they should never be fully removed.

The label is actually attached to the top edge of the fastening knob compartment at the bottom of the unit, facing upwards.
Minimum media card load requirement
Redundant GRF 1600 power supplies require a minimum load installed equal to two media cards. If the minimum media card load is not met, the supplies may generate false power supply failure messages. While the power supply units are not damaged during this condition, misleading error messages may be logged in /var/log/grconsole.log
.
When redundant power supplies are installed in a GRF 1600 chassis, you must keep at least two media cards inserted to meet the minimum load requirement. Minimum load can be problematical when power supplies are operating in the redundant or current share mode, particularly on high current output supplies. It is recommended that the GRF 1600 only be operated with at least two media cards installed.

Installation preview
Now that you are familiar with the GRF 1600, this page gives you a preview of the tasks you will do to install the GRF, and what the other chapters in this Getting Started manual cover:
1 Rack mount and ground the GRF chassis. (chapter 3)
2 Insert any additional media cards. The GRF is shipped with all ordered media cards installed, if you have others to install, insert them now. (chapter 3)
3 Attach a VT 100-compatible terminal or laptop PC to the serial port (RS-232) on the GRF control board. The terminal is used to enter the initial IP configuration information and to monitor system boot. Later you can connect the GRF to the administrative Ethernet and disconnect the terminal. (chapter 3)
4 Power on the GRF by plugging in the AC power supply or wiring the DC power supply.
The GRF has no on/off switch, and ships with software already loaded. When you apply current to the power supplies, the GRF begins to boot. Watch the control board LEDs to see the status of the system during and after boot. (chapter 3)
5 The first time a GRF is powered on, a configuration script automatically runs. The script prompts you to enter the router’s system IP address and host name. You must supply this information to communicate with the GRF and to later connect the GRF to your administrative Ethernet. (chapter 4)
The script also prompts you to begin to configure remote logging by setting up a syslog server. If you choose to configure “local” logging to a PCMCIA device, just press the
<Enter> key at those prompts.
6 Log in as root . Optionally, you can change the preset password for root . (chapter 4)
7 Configure logging, there are several options. Procedures to set up local PCMCIA and network logging are in this manual. (chapter 4)
Optionally, you can install and configure a PCMCIA modem connection to the GRF.
8 Connect the GRF maintenance Ethernet interface to your site’s administrative LAN. Use the Ethernet connector on the control board. If you like, you can now disconnect the VT
100 terminal. (chapter 4)
9 Attach the media card cables. (chapter 5)
At the end of this Getting Started manual, you are ready to configure the media card interfaces, network services, and protocols. This information is covered in the GRF Configuration and
Management manual.

Rack Mount and Power On Procedures
Rack mounting the GRF 400
Rack-mounting requirements
If you are rack-mounting the GRF 400 base unit:
– Always stack the rack from the bottom up to ensure a stable and safe rack.
– The installation of GRF 400 and other units within the rack should not reduce the air flow within the rack. The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the GRF
400 is 40˚ C (104˚ F).
– Make sure you have a two-unit air gap for cooling and cables between the GRF and any other equipment installed in the rack.
– Determine that the cumulative power requirements of the GRF 400 plus other equipment in the rack do not overload the rack supply circuit and/or wiring.
Ventilation requirements
When installing, please consider the location of the GRF in relation to other devices located in an adjacent rack. Ensure that the GRF’s air intake is not drawing directly upon heated air from
another unit. Figure 3-1 shows air intake and exhaust areas. When you install the GRF, you
must provide six to ten inches of side clearance.
Intake fans

Powering on the GRF 400
Powering on the GRF 400
As described earlier in this chapter, the initial start-up of the GRF requires a directly-attached terminal for logging in as root . This terminal should be connected before you power on the
GRF so you can monitor the start up and boot messages that begin immediately.
The GRF 400 is powered by either AC or negative 48V DC power supplies.
This section includes procedures for both types of power supply:
– applying power to AC power supplies
– wiring and applying power to DC power supplies
The GRF chassis does not have a power on/off switch. When the power cord is plugged in to a power outlet or when the DC wiring set is connected to a source supply, the GRF is powered on. It takes a few seconds for the power supply(s) to cycle before power is supplied to the back panel and the media cards.
When the GRF is powered on, it begins to boot. You can see the boot messages displayed on the VT-100 screen. As it boots, the GRF runs a series of internal diagnostics. The first time a
GRF is powered on, the boot process runs a system configuration script. In this script you assign the GRF a host name, configure the maintenance Ethernet, and optionally specify a
syslog server. The GRF supports remote logging via a syslog server as well as local logging
(and dumps) to an external flash device.
Media cards will boot automatically and come up ready to operate.
The speaker on the control board faceplate emits audible beeps as the board boots.
Redundant power supplies
Installing redundant power supplies ensures against failures of individual units in the chassis.
If possible, attach each power supply into a different power source.
Power supply failure notification
If a GRF power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface. The gr.console
log file will also contain related messages. The PS1 or PS2 amber LED on the control board will light, indicating a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.
Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certified personnel only.

Attaching a VT-100 terminal
You must connect the VT-100 compatible terminal to the control board’s RS-232 serial port
BEFORE you power on the GRF. After the system boots, you will enter system IP and host name configuration information in the first time power on script from the terminal. This task is described in chapter 4.
You can stay at the terminal to perform the rest of the system configuration or you can connect the GRF to the administrative Ethernet and continue configuration from there. After the GRF can be accessed from the administrative Ethernet, the serial connection is no longer required.

Rack Mount and Power On Procedures
Powering on the GRF 1600
Powering on the GRF 1600
As described earlier in this chapter, the initial start-up of the GRF requires a directly-attached terminal for logging in as root . The terminal should be connected BEFORE you power on the
GRF so you can monitor the start up and boot messages that begin immediately. The GRF 1600 is powered by either 1100W AC or negative 48V DC power supplies.
This section includes procedures for both types of power supply:
– applying power to AC power supplies
The GRF chassis does not have a power on/off switch. The AC power supply does not have an on/off switch. As a result, when the AC power cord is plugged in to a power outlet, the GRF is powered on. It takes a few seconds for the power supply(s) to cycle before power is supplied to the back panel and the media cards.
– wiring and applying power to DC power supplies
A GRF 1600 DC power supply does have a power on/off switch on its front panel. After the DC wiring set is attached and carries current, this switch controls the application of current to the DC power supply.
When the GRF is powered on, it begins to boot. You can see the boot messages displayed on the terminal screen. As it boots, the GRF runs a series of internal diagnostics. The first time a
GRF is powered on, the boot process runs a system configuration script. In this script you assign the GRF a host name, configure the maintenance Ethernet, and optionally specify a
syslog server. The GRF supports remote logging via a syslog server as well as local logging
(and dumps) to an external flash device.
Media cards will boot automatically and come up ready to operate.
The speaker on the control board faceplate emits audible beeps as the board boots.
Redundant power supplies
Installing redundant power supplies ensures against failures of individual units in the chassis.
If possible, attach each power supply into a different power source.
Power supply failure notification
If a GRF 1600 power supply fails, you will see failure messages on-screen at the user interface.
The gr.console
log file will also contain related messages. The PS1 or PS2 amber LED on the control board will light, indicating a power supply failure. If you do not already have a replacement unit, order one from Lucent.
3-22 October, 1998
Warning: A failed power supply must be replaced by certified personnel only.

Chapter 4 describes the first-time configuration script and initial system tasks that bring the
GRF to an operational state, ready for media card cabling and verification. The procedures are the same for the GRF 400 and the GRF 1600, any differences are noted.
The tasks described in this chapter are:
– Establishing initial communication using the first-time configuration script.
(This is done over the VT-100 terminal already attached, see chapter 3.)
– Logging on as root.
– Configuring logging to an external device.
(This can be done at the VT-100 or in a telnet session from the administrative LAN.)
Chapter 4 covers the following topics:
GRF 400/1600 Getting Started - 1.4 Update 2 October, 1998 4-1
Initial System Set-up
First communication with the router
First communication with the router
This section describes what you see at the terminal after you power on a GRF.
When you plug in the GRF, it powers on and begins to boot. Boot activity is displayed on the screen.
First-time power on configuration script
The first-time configuration script runs automatically only at this time. It only runs again when invoked.
The script prompts for the following information:
– host name for GRF.
– whether you wish to configure the maintenance Ethernet interface de0 at this time.
– IP address for maintenance Ethernet interface de0
(The GRF is shipped with a temporary de0 network address set to 192.0.2.1
, but you should configure your site address now.).
– netmask for maintenance Ethernet interface de0 IP address.
– if you want a default (static) route to another router on the maintenance Ethernet.
– that router’s IP address.
You can see your answers when they are displayed at the end of the script. You have the option to rerun the script to make changes or to simply drop your responses:
You have now answered all the questions necessary for basic network configuration. If you didn't make any mistakes while entering your answers, simply continue and the appropriate configuration files will be created.
If you wish to exit this program without writing out the configuration files, type <Control>-C.
Your current answers are:
Host Name: grf.tester.com
IP Address: 192.168.160.133
Ethernet interface: de0 (Digital DC33333/22222/11111)
Special Netmask:
Default Route: (none)
Do you wish to go through the questions again? [yes]
Enter no if you have no changes. The script automatically saves your entries to the appropriate configuration file.
The de0 reference is to the internal name for the control board’s Ethernet interface through which the GRF connects to your site’s maintenace/administrative LAN. You will see an entry for de0 in the /etc/grifconfig.conf
configuration file when you add media card interface and IP address information to that file, the script enters the de0 entry as it completes.

Logging in as root
Changing the configuration script later
If later you need to change any of the information you entered in the first-time configuration script, you can run the script again. Enter:
# config_netstart
The script will run again and will re-prompt for the same information as the first time.
Logging in as root
This section describes the root log in to the GRF. The root log in is the UNIX-equivalent super user. The first log in while you are connected using the VT-100 terminal must be a root log in.
After you connect the GRF to the local Ethernet, the root log in is not required. Normally you will telnet to the GRF and use the administrative log in.
After the configuration script completes, you are prompted to press the Enter key.
When you do, the User: prompt appears for the first log in.
You need to log in as user root . The preset password for root is Ascend (with a capital A).
Here is the process:
Press <Enter> to continue.
User:
At the User prompt, type: root
User: root
Password:
Use the preset password, type: Ascend (Ascend with a capital A)
Password: • • • • • •
When a password is entered, it is not echoed (displayed) on the screen.

The super> prompt indicates you are in the Command Line Interface (CLI), and are logged in as root . When you log in to a GRF as root , you automatically get the CLI shell. In the
CLI, root is super user, hence the super> prompt.
Changing the root password
GRF systems are shipped with Ascend (capital A) preset as the root password. As a security precaution, Customer Support recommends that you change this preset password now, before you begin system configuration.
If you are at the super> prompt, you are in the CLI. You need to be in the UNIX shell to change the password. Use sh to invoke the UNIX shell. Each time you start the shell, you see the Lucent copyright and version notice. Type exit to leave the shell.
At the super> prompt, execute the sh command to create a UNIX shell, the UNIX # prompt appears: super> sh

The de0 interface
The de0 interface is the physical Ethernet interface on the GRF control board. de0 is for out of band access. It is not another Ethernet interface for routing packets. This interface is only to be used for administrative and maintenance access to the GRF. You should, for example, use de0 for syslog server or NFS mounts.
Traffic through de0 travels on the internal communications bus (com bus). The com bus can efficiently handle control and configuration data, but no other type.
As a result, there are requirements for de0 :
– de0 should have a non-routable IP address, this will prevent hard-to-detect problems.
– Default routes must not go through de0 .
– Never run any dynamic routing protocols on de0 .
– Never use de0 as an ATMP address.
The GRF is shipped with a temporary de0 network address set to 192.0.2.1
. If you did not enter your site address in the first-time configuration script, de0 has that address.
grifconfig and netstart de0 addresses must match
The first-time power on configuration script prompts you for a host name for the GRF and an
IP address. This IP address is automatically assigned to the de0 interface and placed in both the /etc/grifconfig.conf
and /etc/netstart files.
Therefore, if you change de0 ’s IP address in one of these files, you must also change it in the other. If the two addresses do not match, GateD does not install the multicast address to de0 on boot and has problems routing to the multicast address.

Attaching the maintenance interface de0
The control board supports the maintenance connection to the GRF from a site’s local administrative Ethernet. This is the recommended mode of access for GRF system management and administration.
In the first-time configuration script, you entered the IP address and netmask for the maintenance interface de0 . This section describes how to connect that interface to your local
Ethernet LAN.
Ethernet connection to control board
The control board faceplate has an RJ-45 modular connector. It supports 10 or 100 megabit
connections and autosenses the line rate. As indicated in Figure 4-1, the Ethernet connector is
prohibited from telco lines.
Ethernet to external LAN Address: 192.0.2.1
ETHERNET
Figure 4-1. Point-to-point Ethernet connector on the control board
The maintenance Ethernet connector site is labeled “100/10,” its network interface is de0.
To connect to an external Ethernet LAN, insert the LAN cable into the receptacle marked
“100/10.” Its address is already configured in the first-time configuration script.
Using telnet
When you telnet to the GRF from a workstation on the maintenance LAN, you must use the administrative account “ netstar ” to log into the GRF router.
After you connect the GRF to the local Ethernet, the root log in is not required. Normally you will telnet to the GRF and use the administrative log in.
After you log in, test your network access and administrative account on the router after configuring it on your LAN.

The super> prompt indicates you are in the command-line interface (CLI).
CLI and UNIX passwords
The UNIX logins described here have passwords associated with UNIX user accounts. These passwords are different from the CLI user profile password. The CLI auth command controls permissions for CLI user logins. A user can log in to the CLI by using the auth command to return a password prompt. If the user supplies the correct password, then the CLI permissions specified for the user are granted.
When you log into the GRF, it uses UNIX authentication. You cannot telnet using a user profile name or password. When you enter the CLI, it automatically assigns you a CLI authentication as “super” if you logged in as root, otherwise, it assigns “default”. You can display your CLI authentication with the whoami command. Your CLI authentication affects which fields you can see and which commands you can invoke within the CLI.
The next task is to learn about the GRF user interface. You have already used its primary components, the Command Line Interface and the UNIX shell.

Overview of GRF user interface components
Overview of GRF user interface components
This overview is intended to help you understand what is happening in the procedures that make up the rest of this chapter. The procedures use both the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the UNIX shell. As you do the procedures, you will use CLI commands and will also open a UNIX shell and edit configuration files or execute UNIX commands.
Configuration tasks - shell or CLI ?
To configure and manage the GRF, you will use both the CLI command set and the UNIX shell. You switch between them, there are no nested levels of shell and CLI.
You must be in the UNIX shell to edit the /etc/xxx.conf
configuration files. The /etc directory contains the configuration files.
Otherwise, many system management and configuration commands are available in the CLI as well as the UNIX shell. Enter a “?” to retrieve a list of CLI commands. All system commands are described in the GRF Reference Guide.
The GRF user environment consists of two main components, the CLI and the UNIX shell.
There is also a set of low-level maint commands.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface, usually called CLI, supports a set of profiles and a large set of
GRF and UNIX-like commands. There are five profiles that contain parameters for five areas:
– System profile, includes the GRF host name, the de0 IP address, and various hardware characteristics.
– Card profile, includes media type, protocol, port parameters, ICMP/dump/load settings. Each card has its own Card profile.
– User profile(s), a profile for each defined user, includes access, password
– Dump profile, defines system-wide dump events and storage. (Some dump parameters can be customized for a card in its Card profile.)
– Load profile, defines the running binaries for each control and media card type. (Some load parameters can be customized for a card in its Card profile.)
Profiles and their parameters are described in detail in the GRF Configuration and
Management manual.
The GRF UNIX-like system management and configuration commands are available in the
CLI. At the CLI prompt (usually super> ) enter a “?” to retrieve the list of available commands. Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for a description of each CLI command.
When you log in to a GRF as root , you automatically get the CLI shell. In the CLI, root is super user, hence the super> prompt.

Overview of GRF user interface components
UNIX shell
While in the CLI you use the sh command to open a UNIX shell. The shell supports standard
UNIX commands and the GRF UNIX-like commands. You can manage the GRF using the
UNIX network and configuration management commands. The GRF also has a number of configuration files that you edit with a UNIX editor, you must be in the shell to edit GRF configuration files.
To configure and manage the GRF, you will use both the CLI command set and the UNIX shell. Type exit to leave the shell. When you exit the UNIX shell, you can execute CLI-only commands.
maint commands
A third component is the set of maint commands specific to each media card. The maint commands display low-level card-specific statistics and counts. These commands are documented within each media card’s configuration chapter in the GRF Configuration and
Management manual. The HSSI card maint commands are in the “HSSI Configuration” chapter, for example.
As noted, this is a brief overview. The “Working in the GRF User Interface” chapter in the
GRF Configuration and Management manual provides information and examples using the
CLI profiles and commands.
What to do next...
The next step is to configure logging. What you do depends upon the option you have chosen for external logging. The options are described in this order:
– “local” logging and dumping to an external PCMCIA flash device
– remote logging (over the network) to a syslog server
– remote logging (over the network) to an NFS-mounted file system

About GRF logs and dumps
Logs
When the GRF first boots and loads, logging is not enabled. System memory restrictions on the
GRF control board require that logging be to external storage. If target external storage is not specified to receive log entries, log entries are not saved. You should configure logging as part of initial system set up.
There are three options for logging. Procedures for each are in the next several sections:
– “local” logging and dumping to an external PCMCIA flash device inserted in the control board
– remote logging (network) to a syslog server
– remote logging (network) to an NFS-mounted file system
Three logs provide specific information useful for monitoring and debugging GRF operations.
If you are working with Customer Support, these are the three logs they will need to see:
– /var/log/gr.console
– /var/log/gr.boot
– /var/log/messages
The gr.console
log is the most useful log (also called grconslog or the conslog). You will need the information logged to this file to manage the GRF. It contains status and events for the
GRF system and all media cards. When a media card resets, many events of the resetting are reported, including initializing, loading run-time code, requesting and reading configuration parameters, and so on. At the end, you see a message that indicates the cause of the reset.
The grconslog command opens a window to the log that displays messages as they are logged.
It is common practice to telnet into the GRF, enter grconslog -vf , and keep the window open to monitor ongoing system events as they are reported. Use the abort or equivalent key to quit the log. The gr.console.log
displays all types of events including card resets and panics, user log ons, and configuration changes. Refer to the GRF Reference Guide for a description of grconslog options.
The gr.boot
log contains events reported during system and media card boot. These can be helpful if a card has problems booting and coming up.
The messages log contains system-related events connected usually with the management software, also referred to as RMS (Router Management System), and the operating system kernel.
Examples of logs are in the “Management Commands and Tools” chapter of the GRF
Configuration and Management manual. Other log files in the /var/log directory collect low-level information useful primarily to system developers.

About GRF logs and dumps
Accessing a log file
To display the contents of a specific log file, change directory to /var/log and use the more command to display the contents of a specific log file. To access output of grconsole log, use this sequence of commands:
# cd /var/log
# more gr.console
Dumps
The GRF compresses dumps to save space, compressed files are appended with .gz
.
Dumps provide specific information useful for monitoring and debugging GRF operations. If you are working with Customer Support, they may ask for a system or media card dump. The procedure to install a PCMCIA device for logging also specifies that dumps be sent to the device.
System dump
If the GRF is reset or it panics, a dump is saved in the /var/crash directory under the naming convention bsdx.core
where x is the number of the dump, 1, 2, 3...and so on. A system dump is usually too large to send by e-mail. Customer Support will tell you how to send it to them.
The grsavecore command copies and formats information generated from a kernel panic as the data is written to standard output. The formatted data is written to grsavecore.out
in the
/var/crash directory.
Media card dumps
The grdump program saves and manages media card dumps. By default, two dumps are saved per day for each media card. Dumps are collected from media cards when they panic or when they are reset by the system administrator using grreset -D (this command instructs the media card to dump when it comes back up).
Media card dumps are stored in /var/portcards in a file named with the convention grdump.n.x.gz where n is the card slot number and x is the number of the saved dump, 1, 2,
3....
A media card dump is generally 4–8MB, and can sometimes be e-mailed. Customer Support will tell you how to send it to them.
Panic dumps sent to external storage
The mountf and grdump commands enable the grdump program to work with an external storage device to capture media card dumps.
When a media card panics and there is a formatted external flash device plugged into either
PCMCIA slot, a copy of the dump is automatically saved under the portcards directory of the external flash.

Initial System Set-up
Option 1: Log and dump to a PCMCIA device
Option 1: Log and dump to a PCMCIA device
Logging can be done either remotely or locally to an external PCMCIA device.
Because system memory (RAM) provides a fixed amount of log storage, upgrading GRF RAM increases storage for route tables and other routing data, but does not provide additional space to store logs and dumps. Logs and dumps can be sent either to an external flash device inserted in either PCMCIA slot or to a spinning disk device inserted in PCMCIA slot A.
You can install a PCMCIA device any time after the GRF is powered on and is running.
However, logging is not enabled until you install the device and complete this configuration procedure. Since logged messages can be helpful while you are bringing up and configuring media cards, it is recommended you configure logging now.
Use the procedure in this section to ready the PCMCIA device and to send logs and dumps to the device. The procedure is done only once to set up local logs and dumps, and is not affected by software updates or system reboots.
Note that the external PCMCIA device is used only for storage. You cannot boot the GRF router from an external device.
List of devices
Lucent certifies the following ATA-compliant devices for GRF operation:
– Kingston Datapak 520MB, P/N CT520RM
– Sandisk 175MB Flash, P/N SDP3B
– Sandisk 85MB Flash, P/N SDP3B-85-101
– Aved 85MB Flash, P/N AVEF385MB25ATA501
Lucent offers only the 85 MB Flash directly (GRF-AC-FLASH). Customers may purchase the other devices through an external source.
ATA Type-II device dimensions are 85.6 mm x 54.0 mm x 5.0 mm. ATA Type-III device dimensions are 85.6 mm x 54.0 mm x 10.5 mm.
PCMCIA slot commands
Three commands enable remote management of PCMCIA slots. The csconfig slot_number command returns status of each PCMCIA slot. The csconfig slot_number up and csconfig
slot_number down commands mark the specified PCMCIA slot up or down, respectively. An example is included in the device installation procedure which follows.
Do not remove a mounted PCMCIA device from the slot, unmount it first. You will get an error message if you remove a mounted device.

Installing a PCMCIA device
Installing a PCMCIA device
The procedure formats and initializes an external device (flash or disk), temporarily mounts it on /mnt , creates subdirectories and symbolic links, and creates a permanent site file for storing the symbolic links. The example installs a flash device into slot A and specifies that logs and dumps be sent to directories on the device. You do not need to specify whether the device is a flash or spinning disk.
The PCMCIA device is named according to the slot it occupies:
– /dev/wd2a , the device residing in slot A (often a spinning disk)
– /dev/wd3a , the device residing in slot B (a flash disk or modem)
1 Insert the PCMCIA device into slot A on the GRF control board.
The thickness of a spinning disk device requires it be installed in slot A. A flash disk or modem can be installed in either A or B.
2 Log in as root to the GRF, start the UNIX shell, and execute these commands from the shell: prompt> sh
#
# cd /
# iflash -A
# mountf -A -w -m /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/crash
# mkdir /mnt/portcards
# cd /var
# mv crash crash.orig
# mv portcards portcards.orig

# umountf -A
3 Edit the file /etc/fstab :
# cd /etc
# vi fstab
Use the UNIX editor to add this line as shown at the bottom of the excerpt:
/dev/wd2a /var/log ufs rw 0 2 #PCMCIA slot A, use wd3a for B
Here is the portion of the file where you will add the specified line:
# Filesystem mount table information. See the fstab(5) man page
# and the /etc/fstab.sample file for more information and examples.
#
# Each line is of the form:
# device mount_point type flags dump fsck_pass

4 Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf
to specify the location where the logs will be kept.
After you edit /etc/syslog.conf
, you need to send a HUP signal to syslogd.
When installing a spinning disk or flash disk
Uncomment the local log configuration lines in the “Log messages to Disk” section by removing #disk# from each line and specify /var/log as the directory for each log:
These are the first four lines in the section:
#disk#*.err;*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit
/var/log/messages
#disk# cron.info /var/log/cron
#disk# local0.info /var/log/gritd.packets
#disk# local1.info /var/log/gr.console
The entries should now look like the following:
*.err;*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages cron.info /var/log/cron local0.info /var/log/gritd.packets
local1.info /var/log/gr.console
local2.* /var/log/gr.boot
local3.* /var/log/grinchd.log
local4.* /var/log/gr.conferrs
local5.* /var/log/mib2d.log
Touch the files
Touch each file to create it, here is an example:
#cd /var/log
# touch gritd.packets gr.console gr.boot grinchd.log gr.conferrs mib2d.log
Restart syslogd
Determine the PID (process ID) for the syslog daemon and restart it:
# ps -ax | grep syslogd
# kill -HUP < PID>
Optional task:
Step 5 is only for sites that had previously configured logging to syslogd or NFS.
New installations can go onto Step 6.

5 If you had previously configured your GRF to log messages to a directory other than
/var/log , you changed settings in /etc/grclean.conf
and
/etc/grclean.logs.conf
files. Go back into those files now and change the log directory.
Modify /etc/grclean.conf
and /etc/grclean.logs.conf
to reflect the new log directory.
The /etc/grclean.conf
file specifies which log and dump files the grclean program compresses, archives, and deletes.
The /etc/grclean.conf
file entries should look like the following:
##################################################################
# port card dump files.
################################################################## hold=4 size=1 remove=y local=y logfile=/var/portcards/grdump.*
##################################################################
# cleanup our own log file, if necessary.
##################################################################
DEFAULTS hold=2 local=y size=10000 logfile=/var/log/grclean.log
The /etc/grclean.logs.conf
file is used to set size limits on log files. Here are some sample entries:
******************************************************************
* Log files that used to be archived by the
/etc/{daily|weekly|monthly}
* scripts.
***************************************************************** size=150000 logfile=/var/log/gr.console
size=11000 logfile=/var/log/gr.boot
6 Save all changes and reboot:
# grwrite -v
# reboot -i
7 Verify that the PCMCIA interface and device are up. The csconfig command returns information about both external ports:
# csconfig -a
Slot 0: flags=0x3<UP,RUNNING>

If you specify the slot number ( 0 or 1), csconfig retunrs information about the specified slot. This example looks at the flash disk in slot B:
# csconfig 1

8 To run a quick test, execute the grconslog command. This command verifies that logging is correctly configured, so if it runs, the PCMCIA installation has been performed correctly:
# grconslog
iflash command - caution !
The PCMCIA procedure uses the iflash command. The iflash command determines the geometry of an installed PCMCIA ATA Type-II or Type-III storage device, and can format the device for use in a GRF.
!
Caution: By default, iflash does not initialize a flash that already has a file system installed.
The -f option overrides the check and forces any data on the target device to be overwritten.
Use this option only if you wish to erase the existing contents of a flash device.
When you use iflash without -f, you are informed when there is a file system already on the device and reminded that you must use the -f option to overwrite it. Because of its “force” capability, use the iflash -f command with caution.

Option 2: Set up a syslog server
Option 2: Set up a syslog server
One way to log over the network is to use syslog and set up a remote syslogd server (syslog host). A syslog server is another workstation on the maintenance/administrative LAN that has sufficient memory to store log files. You can configure remote logging during initial installation via the configuration script or you can change to remote logging at any time. Both procedures are described in this section.
In the shell, use a UNIX editor to edit the /etc/syslog.conf
configuration file and set up a remote syslog server. The remote syslog or logging server is another node on your LAN that runs the syslog daemon, syslogd.
The GRF /etc/syslog.conf
file configures the GRF to send log messages to a syslog server on your local network. These logs include: gritd.packets
gr.console
gr.boot
grinchd.log
gr.conferrs
mib2d.log
Follow these steps to configure the GRF and the syslog server for network logging:
1 On the GRF, open the /etc/syslog.conf
file and uncomment these lines in the
“ Log messages to Network” section by removing #net# from each line:
#Log messages to Network
#
#net#*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit @server.domain.com
#net#*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit
@server.domain.com
#net#cron.info @server.domain.com
#net#local0.info @server.domain.com
#net#local1.info @server.domain.com
#net#local2.* @server.domain.com
#net#local3.* @server.domain.com
#net#local4.* @server.domain.com
#net#local5.* @server.domain.com
While you are still in the /etc/syslog.conf
file, replace all instances of
“ server.domain.com
” with the domain name of the syslog server that will receive the log messages.
2 On the GRF, add the IP address and host name of the syslog server to /etc/hosts.
3 On the GRF, run the grwrite command to save the changes to the /etc configuration files
( /etc/syslog.conf
and /etc/hosts).
4 Now log in to the syslog server and add these file names to the server’s
/etc/syslog.conf
file: local0.info /var/log/gritd.packets
local1.info /var/log/gr.console
local2.* /var/log/gr.boot
local3.* /var/log/grinchd.log

Initial System Set-up
Option 2: Set up a syslog server local4.* /var/log/gr.conferrs
local5.* /var/log/mib2d.log
5 On the syslog server, use the touch command to create the log files in the server’s /var/log directory or wherever log files normally reside on the server:
# cd /var/log/
# touch gritd.packets gr.console gr.boot grinchd.log gr.conferrs mib2d.log
6 On the syslog server, kill and restart syslogd.
syslogd must be running with the -i option to enable "internet listening."
If syslogd is not running with -i , kill it and restart it. The syslogd pid can be found in the file /var/run/syslog.pid
. You will lose any messages sent to syslog during the kill/restart processes.
Note:
/etc/rc is shipped with -i enabled. Users cannot save a modified copy of
/etc/rc . Any changes made are lost at the next reboot.
7 On the GRF, kill and restart syslogd.
Because syslogd is usually run before the domain name server (named) at boot time, you need to add an entry to /etc/hosts that describes the host you want to send to.
Here is a sample entry in /etc/hosts:
222.222.11.93 server.domain.com
Now kill syslogd and restart it with the -i option.
Run grwrite to save changes made to the /etc files.
# grwrite
Note that the grconslog command does not differentiate among multiple log files sent to a single remote syslog server from multiple GRF systems.
This completes the network logging configuration. A copy of the /etc/syslog.conf
file is in the GRF Reference Guide.

Option 3: Use an NFS-mounted file system
Option 3: Use an NFS-mounted file system
The maintenance Ethernet interface de0 must be used for NFS-mounted file systems.
!
Caution: NFS mounting CANNOT be done through a media card interface (for example, gf0yz ). The maintenance interface is specified in the /etc/netstart file as the value assigned to the variable " iface ". This variable defines the external connection to the GRF and is set when the GRF is initially installed.
Setting up NFS on the GRF
You must add the appropriate host and IP information for any NFS server you are using into the /etc/host file if either of the following conditions apply:
– The name server(s) in /etc/resolv.conf point out one of the media card interfaces and are thus unavailable when the mount occurs.
– The name server(s) in /etc/resolv.conf
point to a network that is reachable only through a route off the administrative Ethernet and only when GateD is being run.
That is, if GateD is not active and a route entry exists in grroute.conf
, the
/etc/host entries are not needed.
Note: Programs writing to an NFS-mounted file system will block when the NFS connection to the remote file system is dropped.

Option: Attaching a modem to the GRF
Option: Attaching a modem to the GRF
Although you must connect a VT-100 terminal to do the initial configuration, after that you can install a modem connection.
The GRF supports two modem options. One option is to attach a terminal server to the control board serial port (RS-232) and then attach a modem to the terminal server. Another option is to attach a PCMCIA modem directly into one of the control board PCMCIA (PC-CARD) slots.
The modem connection is lost at reboot and you must dial up again to re-establish it.
Instructions for installing the PCMCIA modem are included here. Perform the configuration procedure after the GRF is powered on and the system has booted.
Installing a PCMCIA modem
PCMCIA modems have been tested and found to work reliably with the GRF and to be compatible with the modem configuration commands specified here.
A recommended modem is:
– US Robotics/MegaHertz 56K PC Card Modem, model xj5560
Although other PCMCIA modems have not been tested, some 56K models may work and be configurable with the GRF.
Unpack the PCMCIA modem and insert the modem card into an open PCMCIA slot on the
GRF control board. Attach the phone cable to the modem card and then connect the RJ-11 connector to your phone line (using the RJ-11 female adaptor provided, if needed).
Configuration procedure
To enable the PCMCIA modem to accept calls, configure it from the VT-100 terminal using the following procedure:
1 Turn off getty on the modem line. Enter:
# vi /etc/ttys
Find this line: tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty t9600-hf" vt100 on secure
Change the " on " to " off " so the line reads: tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty t9600-hf" vt100 off secure
Save the file and then enter:
# kill -HUP 1

2 Configure the modem – this procedure assumes you are connecting a USR 56K
PCMCIA modem.
You will enter a series of standard modem at commands. After you enter an at command, you get a response, usually “OK”. If you get an error message, please refer to the user documentation that comes with your modem.
To begin the configuration, enter:
# chown uucp.dialer /dev/tty02 <--- changes owner to uucp with group dialer,
# tip tty02 this allows tip program to open modem device.
at at&f <--- resets modem to factory settings
OK ats0=1 <--- sets answer after one ring
OK at&w <--- stores modem configuration to NVRAM
OK atz <--- resets modem
OK
~. <--- disconnects from tip
3 Now turn getty on for the modem line, this is basically the reverse of step 1. Enter:
# vi /etc/ttys
Find the line that looks like: tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty t9600-hf" vt100 off secure
Change the " off " to " on ": tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty t9600-hf" vt100 on secure
Save the file and then enter:
# kill -HUP 1
Save your changes. Enter:
# grwrite -v
This command saves your changes to the /etc/ttys file to system RAM. The -v option displays the names of files as they change.
4 Verify that the PCMCIA interface and device are up, information about the csconfig command is in the GRF Reference Guide:
# csconfig -a
You should now be able to dial in to your GRF system using the PCMCIA modem.

Minimum load requirement
To operate properly, the GRF 1600 requires that at least two media cards be installed. Also, a face plate cover must be installed in any unused slot to maintain cooling flows.
On-card connectors
Media cards are actually two logic boards joined to make a single component. As shown in
Figure 5-1, the smaller board on the right is the serial interface, also called the serial daughter
card. The larger one on the left is the media board and has the network ports. Together they comprise a GRF media card.

The two logic boards are joined by a pair of 100-pin connectors and reinforcing plates. Even so, this joint retains some flex and must be carefully supported, especially when inserting the media card into the chassis.
Warning: The backplane of the GRF contains hazardous energy levels. When replacing a media card, remove only one card at a time. Removing more than one card will expose the operator to this energy hazard.

Chassis insertion procedure
1 When you are properly grounded, remove the media card from its anti-static container.
2 Hold the media card with the network ports facing you.
4-card router
Turn the card horizontal, the top of the media card should be on the left, the bottom of the card should be on the right. As you start, make sure you visually identify the left and right guide pair for this particular slot.
Keeping the media card horizontally level, insert the card fully into the slot, you will feel the card joining with the 100-pin connector on the backplane.
16-card router
As you start, make sure you visually identify the top and bottom guide pair for this particular slot. Have one hand under the card, lightly supporting its weight. Rest just the edge of the bottom corner of the card in the bottom guide. Then, bring the top edge of the card into the top guide. This will help you keep the card level as you slide it in.
Keeping the media card vertically upright, insert the card fully into the slot.
You will feel the card joining with the 100-pin connector on the backplane.
3 When fully inserted, the card’s face plate should be flush against the chassis back panel.
Note: Do not force the card into the slot. Doing so can damage the card or slot connector.
4 Tighten the screws at each end of the face plate.

Cabling and Verifying Media Cards
Inserting a media card into the GRF
Hot swapping media cards
GRF media cards are hot-swappable per media type. That is, you can swap out a HSSI card and replace it with another HSSI card. When the new HSSI card starts up and boots, it is identified to the system and is ready to be configured. Any IP addresses assigned to the HSSI card removed from slot 5, for example, are automatically assigned to the new HSSI card inserted into slot 5.
If you plan to change the type of media card that will replace the HSSI card, then you must reset the system to re-identify the new card.
After you insert the new type of media card but before you reset the GRF, output from the
grcard command displays the actual media type but also indicates the previous media. This is the grcard output after a FDDI card has been inserted into the newly-vacated slot but before the GRF is reset:
# grcard
0 HSSI running
1 HSSI running
2 FDDI held-reset (ERROR: must be HSSI)
3 HSSI running
Q cards
A /Q card has dedicated hardware support for expanded route table lookup.
For FDDI and ATM cards, the _v2 after in grcard output indicates the card is a /Q version of that type of card. All Ethernet, HSSI, ATM OC-12c, and SONET cards have the /Q hardware although they appear in grcard output as _v1 . There is one version of HIPPI, these cards do not have /Q hardware.
Burning in media card flash memory
grflash provides the ability to upgrade flash code at customer sites. The grflash command reprograms (reburns) the code in internal flash (the boot loader). This is different than updating the system software with a new release. Typically, new software releases are loaded into the system and then downloaded into the specific type of media card, they do not require burning into internal flash. The reburn procedure is done only under direction of Customer Support.
Please work with Customer Support to schedule a session with them in the rare instance that the grflash command is needed. If not carefully and correctly done, the reburn process could disable the memory component and the GRF. A grflash man page is available, and the command is also described in the GRF Reference Guide.

Cabling the media cards
The GRF chassis is shipped with all media cards and the control board installed.
Other than making sure face plate screws are tight, media cards need no attention prior to attaching the media interface cables.
The GRF chassis enclosure must have all access panels in place and secured. All available slots must be filled with media cards or blank face platess.
ESD requirements
Note: Wear a grounded, conductive wrist strap when removing, replacing, and/or handling individual GRF electronic components.
Blank face plates
Note: Blank face plates are installed in all unused slots to maintain correct airflow for cabinet cooling. They must remain in place during system operation.
Cable specifications
All data, signal, and control cables connected to the equipment must be of the shielded type with metallic connector hoods, except for Ethernet cables, fiber optic cables, and power cables, which are unshielded. Connectors with jackscrews should be securely tightened.
GRF media cards use the following industry-standard cables:

Differences in media card loading
The same GRF system does not always come up the same way each time— cards can load in a different order each time the system is brought up.
This is normal and happens because the boot and load signals can catch different points on the communications bus clock cycle. Moving media cards to different slots can also cause variations. Media cards have different boot and diagnostic programs. For example, HIPPI media cards take significantly less time to load and come up than do FDDI.
Reset GRF when all cables are attached
When all cables are in place, reboot the system. This will also reset all media cards.
Use the shutdown -r now or grms command described at the end of the chapter. That last section describes ways to verify that your media cards are viable even though the system is not yet fully configured.

FDDI connector keys
Connector keys are small plastic fittings that physically prevent the wrong type of FDDI connector from being inserted into a media card interface. Lucent ships a set of keys with each
FDDI media card. Figure 5-8 shows a set of “B” keys installed on a FDDI connector and a set
of “A” keys as they are shipped with a FDDI card.

Figure 5-8. FDDI optic cable connector and keys
A set of keys physically installs in both the card interface and the cable connector. Installing keys in FDDI media card interfaces is easy even though installation requires removing the
FDDI media card from the chassis. The key “snaps” into a slot within the interface.
Different cables are required for single and dual attached interfaces. Dual attach FDDI cables have an “A” connector on one end and a “B” connector on the other. Single attach FDDI cables have an “M” connector on one end and an “S” connector on the other. Connector keys are site-installed according to site practice. Not every site uses them.
It is not necessary that connector keys be used. The GRF FDDI card already has “A” and “B” labels on its faceplate that provide visual “keys” for dual attachments. As a single attachment, the interface accepts both master and slave cable connectors without affecting configuration.
Connector key types
Once installed, a key limits the type of FDDI cable that can be inserted into that interface.
Different cables are matched to single and dual attached interfaces. Cables and interface ports are labeled or “keyed” so they will connect only to a compatible interface type.

A single attach FDDI interface on the GRF is a master interface when it directly connects to a workstation. It is a slave interface when connected to the master interface of a FDDI concentrator. Such concentrators connect, in turn, to the slave interfaces of single-attach workstations.
Dual attach - A and B interfaces
Dual attach interfaces connect to form two unbroken counter-rotating rings, one being a redundant backup. Each interface, or station, has both an “A” and a “B” interface. Dual attach cables have an “A” connector on one end and a “B” connector on the other.
The “A” interface connects a station to its downstream neighbor; the “B” interface connects a station to its upstream neighbor. To create a logical ring, “A” must connect to “B”, “B” must connect to “A”. Otherwise, the network does not operate as a logical ring and segments into
unconnected suborns. Figure 5-13 illustrates a logical ring.

Installing a FDDI optical bypass
Installing a FDDI optical bypass
Optical bypass capability is provided externally to the FDDI media card.
A miniature six-pin DIN connector is provided on the FDDI face plate for controlling two external optical bypass switches, one for each dual attachment transceiver pair.
An external converter cable is required to split out two optical bypass connectors from the single face plate connector. Control and status bits for the optical bypass switches are provided in the main processor's status and control registers.
As shown in Figure 5-14, two bypass switches can be attached with the Lucent-supplied
Y-cable adapter. The Y-cable is required to reconcile control pin assignments between the GRF and the external switch module.
Through the Y-cable, an optical bypass switch module attaches to a pair of media interface connectors on the FDDI card.

Figure 5-14. Optical bypass switch attachments
A bypass switch allows the GRF to remove itself from the dual ring during a failure or maintenance without causing the ring to wrap at upstream and downstream neighbors. If a
GRF failure occurs, the bypass switch connects upstream and downstream neighbors on both the primary and secondary rings, and allows the GRF node to remove itself from the ring while still retaining ring continuity.
A node failure without a bypass switch causes the dual ring to “wrap.” A wrapped ring absorbs the secondary ring into the primary ring and no longer has a backup ring.
Manual enable/disable
With the bypass physically installed, you can enable or disable the function in the Card profile for the specific FDDI card. Refer to the FDDI configuration chapter in the GRF Configuration
and Management manual.

Media card reset and checkout
This section describes tools available from the system software to check out newly-installed media cards. These tools are to be used on the GRF router
• The ping command tests whether a media card can process and return a message.
• The grcard command tells you the operating state of an installed media card.
• The grreset command allows you to reset all or an individual media card.
Verify media card operation using ping
Check media card viability using the ping command. This UNIX command is modified to support GRF board components. This use of ping only tests internal communication between the GRF control board and the specified media card. It does not test message routing between media cards or communication between media cards and external devices.
Note: The ping command can be used without disturbing normal GRF operations.
The ping -P grid <slot number> command sends a message to a specified media card asking the media card to respond back with another message.
1 Log in as root .
2 Enter a ping command. Specify the appropriate media card by its chassis slot number.
For example, to act on the media card in slot 3, enter:
# ping -P grid 3
This is what you see when the media card responds:
68 bytes from 0:0x3:0: time=0.293 ms
68 bytes from 0:0x3:0: time=0.251 ms

Media card states
The following states are reported:
POWER-UP
BOOT-REQUESTED
DUMPING
LOADING
CONFIGURING
RUNNING
NOT-RESPONDING
PANIC
HELD-RESET
STATE UNKNOWN
- initial state of a card at system power on
- card has requested its run-time code
- card is being dumped
- card is receiving run-time code
- card has requested its configuration tables
- card is configured and operating
- card does not respond to requests from the management software
- card has encountered a system fault
- card is being held in reset state
- state cannot be determined
The Power-up state is the normal condition as power is being applied to the media card.
The Boot-requested state is one step in the progress of a card during initial power-up, while a card is coming up, or while a card is being reset due to user or software direction.
Dumping is the resulting state when a card is directed to dump at reset, at a panic, or as user-specified in the Dump or Card profile.
Loading is a state during which the card receives its run-time image.
Configuring is a waiting state for the media card after it issues a request for configuration parameters. The card stays in the configuring state after being loaded until it has all necessary configuration information, is initialized, and the kernel recognizes that the card is up.
Running is the normal operating state, the card is able to receive and send packets.
Not-responding is a state in which the card does not answer requests from the operating software. The card could be hung. If it decides a card is hung, the kernel begins an automatic reset.

Media card reset and checkout
A system fault can cause a card to go into the Panic state. After a card panics, it needs operator or kernel intervention to start up. The kernel either reboots the card, or dumps and then reboots, depending upon how variables are set in the Dump or Card profile.
An operator can use the grreset -h command to put a card into the Held_reset state to keep it up but not transferring packets.
When the kernel cannot determine what a media card is doing, it places the card into State unknown, and either reboots the card, or dumps and then reboots the card, depending upon how variables are set in the Dump or Card profile.

Running media card hardware diagnostics
Running media card hardware diagnostics
You can run a basic diagnostic command that will tell you if a media card has a hardware problem. The grdiag command performs internal BIST-level diagnostics. A media card that fails this grdiag must be replaced and returned to Lucent. You can run grdiag on one or more cards without interrupting other media cards or system operation. Only HIPPI media cards do not support the grdiag command
The grdiag script puts the selected media card(s) into diagnostic mode and runs the diagnostics. After the diagnostics complete, grdiag reloads the media card’s software and configuration currently saved in flash memory, then reboots the card. For this reason, it is very important that you save any configuration changes before you run grdiag. Unsaved media card changes will be lost.
For grdiag to run, a card must be able to boot. If the grcard display does not include the slot in which the problem card resides, grdiag cannot operate on that card.
More information is available in the “Management Tools” chapter of the GRF Configuration
and Management manual.
Special login
Do not log in directly as root to use the grdiag command. To use grdiag, you must log in as a user and then su to root .
This example uses the netstar login (password = Ascend ) that a GRF is shipped with:
User: netstar
Password: ...... erase ^H, kill ^U, intr ^C status ^T
$
If you changed the default password as recommended, use the new password.
At the next prompt, enter su and use the root password at the prompt. You will see the UNIX prompt appear:
$ su
Password:

Now you can run grdiag.
Running grdiag
The grdiag command starts a script. The script is simple to run. Here are the choices you make:
– choose to save unsaved changes – y / n ?
– enter slot number(s) of media card(s) to test

Running media card hardware diagnostics already specified. If you answer No again to changing parameters, the grdiag script ends and you are back at the shell prompt.
Are you absolutely sure you want to proceed? y/n? [No]: n
Re-enter test parameters? y/n? [No]: n

If you enter Yes, continue with the diagnostic, grdiag automatically accesses the CLI and reads the target card(s) Card profile(s).
Activity during testing
grdiag saves the card’s last-saved configuration to a file, and then changes Card profile load parameters so that the diagnostic code is loaded and run as you specified. The new settings are saved just as they are when you change parameter settings.
You may see some of this activity on the screen, most of it speeds by too quickly to read.
During the test you see grdiag reports that show loading and testing events:
