Card and mda configuration in Alcatel routers


Card and mda both need to be configured for alcatel to work.
Follow the commands below exactly to configure card and mda

A:NS085167016# configure
A:NS085167016>config# card 1
A:NS085167016>config>card# card-type "iom-9g"
*A:NS085167016>config>card# mda 1
*A:NS085167016>config>card>mda# mda-type "c1-1gb-sfp"
*A:NS085167016>config>card>mda# exit
*A:NS085167016>config>card# mda 2
*A:NS085167016>config>card>mda# mda-type "c8-10/100eth-tx"
*A:NS085167016>config>card>mda# exit
*A:NS085167016>config>card# exit


You can use show card and show mda command to check the configurations:

*A:NS085167016# show card

  1. Hi Sandesh,
    Thank you for sharing the knowledgeable facts.
    What if the IOM is configured in slot 3 and MDA in slot 1. So the port ID will be 3/1/1, 3/1/2 and so-on. Right, not-right? Thank you.
