spx interactive-setup

Allows you to configure several options interactively: change existing PE IDs, discover and assign IDs to new PE units, and convert existing or new standalone devices to PE units.
Syntax
spx interactive-setup
Modes

Privileged EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

You cannot use the spx interactive-setup or the zero-touch-enable command from a device running FastIron release 08.0.90 or later to discover PE candidates running a pre-08.0.90 release, due to a difference in message types beginning with the FastIron 08.0.90 release. Be sure to load the same FastIron 08.0.90 or later image to the potential PE units before executing either command.

You can abort SPX interactive-setup at any time by pressing <CTRL>-C.

SPX interactive-setup will abort afer two minutes of inactivity.

You can use SPX interactive-setup for configuration that is not possible with SPX zero-touch features.

You can use SPX interactive-setup to handle invalid topologies by specifying units to form a valid topology.

If not all units are discovered when you run spx interactive-setup, you can run the utility again.

Examples

Consider replacing deprecated example with a similar example based on an ICX 7650 CB stack. Be sure to replace the exposed ICX 7750 CB example when a replacement can be provided by a SME.
The following example shows options available under spx interactive-setup.

device# spx interactive-setup
You can abort interactive-setup at any stage by <ctrl-c>
0: quit
1: change PE IDs
2: discover and convert new units (no startup-config flash) to PEs
3: discover and convert existing/new standalone units to PEs
Please type your selection:

Keep this example in as is and replace with an ICX 7650 CB stack example when one is made available. At least this much is needed to understand how the command works.
The following example uses spx interactive-setup to discover and add a connected ring of two PEs (ICX 7250 units).

device# configure terminal
device(config)# spx cb-enable
System is now in 802.1br control bridge (CB) mode.
device(config)# spx cb-config
device(config-spx-cb)# spx-port 1/1/3
device(config-spx-cb)# spx-port 1/1/16
device# spx interactive-setup
You can abort spx interactive-setup at any stage by <ctrl-c>
0: quit
1: change PE IDs
2: discover and convert new units (no startup-config flash) to PEs
3: discover and convert existing/new standalone units to PEs
