Deployment Scenario 2: Adding Units to a Ring or Linear Topology Using the SPX Interactive-Setup Utility

Ruckus recommends the SPX interactive-setup utility for adding new units to an existing topology. New units can be added to form a linear or ring topology.

For example, in the following topology, a new unit is added to the PE 17-18-19-20-21 chain to make it a ring, and a new unit is added to chain 23.

The New Unit 1 is added in a PE Ring Topology: 
Link 1: 1/2/2, 1/2/4 to 1/2/7 to 21/2/2, 21/2/4 to 21/2/7 
Link2: 1/2/1, 1/2/3 to 1/1/47 1/1/48

The New Unit 2, is added in a PE Linear Topology
Link 1: 1/2/4 to 23/2/4 
  • Because the new units have a startup configuration, SPX interactive-setup option 3 is used.

  • You must cable the connections to the new units per topology and PE requirements.

  1. On an ICX 7750 stack or standalone unit, enter the spx cb-enable command.
    SPX# configure terminal
    SPX(config)# spx cb-enable
    
  2. If zero-touch is enabled, make sure that the utility is turned off before running SPX interactive-setup.
    SPX# configure terminal
    SPX(config)# spx cb-configure
    SPX(config-spx-cb)# no zero-touch-enable
    
  3. Configure zero-touch ports or SPX ports or SPX LAGs that connect to the CB.

    To add new units, Ruckus recommends configuring SPX ports or SPX LAGs when SPX ports are known.

    Configuration on CB for Adding New Unit 1 (In Ring Topology)

    SPX# configure terminal
    SPX(config)# spx cb-config
    SPX (config-spx-cb)# spx-lag 1/1/47 1/1/48 
    
    SPX(config)# spx unit 21
    SPX(config-spx-unit-21)# spx-lag 21/2/2 21/2/4 to 21/2/7
    
    Configuration on CB for adding New Unit 1 (In Linear Topology)
    SPX(config)# spx unit 23
    SPX(config-spx-unit-23)# spx-port 23/2/4

    For a linear topology: Specify the SPX ports or SPX LAGs connecting from the new PE unit.

    For a ring topology: Specify the SPX ports or the SPX LAG connecting the CB to the new unit and from the edge PE to the new unit that completes the ring.

  4. Run SPX interactive-setup on the CB master. Use option 3 because both new units have a startup configuration. The discovered topology is presented.

  10. Once the topology is active, verify the CSP operational state using the show spx csp all command. If there is a ring in the topology, verify the ring operational state using the show spx ring all command.

    Note: There are no specific show commands for ZTP. All commands that apply to SPX apply to ZTP. Refer to Debugging and Verification Commands.
