BCC Quick Reference
Getting Started
• Start a Technician Interface session with the router by connecting a PC or ASCII terminal
to the router’s console port or through a dial-up connection.
• Enter
Manager
at the login prompt, then enter
bcc
to start a BCC
™
session, then enter
config
to enter configuration mode.
• A BCC configuration is a hierarchy of
objects
representing interfaces, protocols, and other
entities. The hierarchy starts at the root object (
box
for AN
®
, ARN
™
, BN
®
, Passport
™
2430,
and Passport 5430;
stack
for ASN
™
and System 5000
™
) and cascades down to lower
objects (see Figure 1 on the next page).
• Objects have attributes called
parameters
, with values that you can change. Some
objects have required parameters; the BCC prompts you to enter values for required
parameters.
• BCC indicates when you must configure one object prior to another. For example, if you
have not configured IP on an interface and you try to add global OSPF from box level (
ip;
ospf
), a message tells you to first configure IP on at least one interface.
• Enter the
?
command to display a list of the objects that you can configure next. Enter the
info
command to display the parameters and their values for the current object.
• Some protocols (for example, IP) have both
global
and
interface
-
level
objects that
configure different aspects of the protocol.
• Configure interface-specific protocols by configuring the interface first, then the protocol.
For example, configure an
ethernet
interface, then add
ip
.
• Configure a new object by entering only the object’s name. For example, to configure
Telnet, enter
telnet
(
not
config
telnet
or
set telnet
).
• Configure global protocols (for example, telnet) that apply to the whole router at the
box
or
stack
prompt.
• Configure an
ethernet
interface on a specific connector and slot. For example, enter
ethernet slot 2 connector 1
or
eth 2/1
. A slash (
/
) must separate parameter values.
