8850/B, Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830 and Cisco MGX 8830/B switches. It also describes how to
setup and install the MGX 8880 Media Gateway.
After completing the installation procedures covered in this guide, refer to the appropriate related
guidance on which documents to use.
Organization
This guide is organized as follows:
•
Chapter 1, “Product Overviews,” provides an overview of the MGX switches, MGX media gateway,
and their related components.
•
Chapter 2, “Illustrated Card List for MGX Switches and the MGX 8880 Media Gateway,” provides
an overview of all cards used in Cisco MGX switches and the MGX 8880 Media Gateway from
MGX software Releases 2 through 5.1.
•
•
•
Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation,” lists site specifications and tools required for installing each
switch or gateway and its related components.
Chapter 4, “Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution,” describes
how to plan for card redundancy, line redundancy, and bulk distribution.

Notes, Warnings, and Cautions
This section explains the conventions used for notes, warnings, and cautions.
Note
A Note highlights helpful information, such as suggestions or references to material not covered in the
guide.
Tip
Caution
Warning
A Tip contains information that might help you solve a problem or save time.
A Caution emphasizes a situation in which equipment can be damaged or data can be corrupted or lost.
A Warning emphasizes a safety concern, where a very serious and hazardous situation could result if
instructions are not carefully adhered to.
Notes about Warnings
Warnings used in this document are translated into many languages in the Regulatory Compliance and
Safety Information for Cisco Multiservice Switch Products (MGX, BPX, and SES).
There are 3 types of Warnings in hardware guides:
•
•
•
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
Safety
Telecom
Warning statements are numbered. The numbering makes it clearer which Warning translation goes with
which source Warning.
Scope of this Guide
This guide consolidates the following guides into one document and adds information about MGX
Release 5 (and greater) hardware features. Thus, this guide covers all MGX switches supported by
software Release 2.0 through 5.1, and makes the following guides obsolete:

Note
Additional guides, such as command reference guides and error message documentation, can help with
the daily operation and maintenance of your switch.
User guide titles may be different for earlier software releases. The titles shown in Table 3 are for the
September 2005 release.
User Guide Titles and Descriptions
Table 3 lists the technical guides and release notes that support the September 2005 multiservice switch
product releases. User documentation and release notes in Table 3 are listed in order of use and include
information about which multiservice switch or media gateway the document supports.
The Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) switch documentation was not
updated for the September 2005 release. Therefore, some information about configuring and using the
new MPSM-8-T1E1 card in these switches is included in the following guides:
•
•
•
Cisco ATM Services (AUSM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command Reference for
MGX Switches, Release 5.2
Cisco Frame Relay Services (FRSM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command Reference
for MGX Switches, Release 5.2
Cisco Circuit Emulation Services (CESM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command
Reference for MGX Switches, Release 5.2
Information about how to install or upgrade to the MPSM-8-T1E1 card in Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco
MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) switches is in the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco
MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) Switches, Release 1.3.14.
Note
Refer to each product’s release notes for the latest information on features, bug fixes, and more.

replaced by the new MPSM-8-T1E1 card.
MPSM stands for Multiprotocol Service Module.
RPM stands for Route Processor Module.
SES stands for Service Expansion Shelf.
VISM stands for Voice Interworking Service Module.
VXSM stands for Voice Switch Service Module.

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products
Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them,
and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability
in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
•
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which
a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered
nonemergencies.
•
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:
•
•
1 877 228-7302
1 408 525-6532
Tip
We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to
encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been
encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.
Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence
with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page
at this URL:
The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.
If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers
before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.
Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco

In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your
reseller.

Obtaining Technical Assistance
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user
ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can
register at this URL:
Note
Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting
a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support &
Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose
Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco
Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by
product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command
output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location
highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a
service call.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3
and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides
recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations.
You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco
will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
