On the equipment tree, right-click on a device and choose Properties. The Network Element form opens.

On the Network Element tree, expand the Shelf object→Card Slot object.

Perform one of the following:

1. To add a daughter card to an empty daughter card slot, right-click on the daughter card slot and choose Configure Daughter Card. The Daughter Card Slot form opens.

2. To modify an existing daughter card, click on the daughter card slot. The Daughter Card Slot (Edit) form opens.

   Note: If a daughter card in your configuration is managed by NFM-P but becomes no longer supported by NFM-P (for instance, an obsoleted MDA), it will be displayed under the equipment tree as type Unspecified. To delete such a card from NFM-P, you must remove the MDA from the device. Once a card is removed from the device, it is also automatically deleted from NFM-P.

Configure the required parameters.

The Clock Mode parameter value must be set to Differential in order to configure the Differential Timestamp Frequency (kHz) parameter.

The Assigned Daughter Card Type and In MDA Carrier Module Slot parameters are configurable only during daughter-card creation.

Note: The ATM Mode parameter must be set to a value of max16k-vc for PPPoA and PPPoEoA to be supported.

Click on the Daughter Card tab and configure the required parameters.

Note: Before you configure the MDA Mode parameter, you must shut down all of the ports and remove all of the subchannels and bundles from the MDA.

To configure named buffer pools:

Note: You must enable pool mode on the parent I/O card to enable named buffer pool support. See To enable named pool mode for more information.

1. Select a policy in the Ingress Pool Policy panel.

2. If you are configuring an HSMDA daughter card, go to Step 10 .

   Note:

   HSMDA daughter cards support only ingress named buffer pool policies, and not egress named buffer pool policies.

3. Select a policy in the Egress Pool Policy panel.

If required, select a policy in the Network Queue Policy panel.

For 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, and 7950 XRS NEs, network queue policies are assigned to forwarding planes; see To assign a network queue policy to a forwarding plane.

If required, select a Network Ingress Fabric Profile and an Access Ingress Fabric Profile in the Fabric Profiles panel.

If required, select a Network Ingress Security Queue and an Access Ingress Security Queue in the Security Queue Policies panel.

If required, select a policy in the Egress HSMDA Pool Policy panel.

Note: You must enable pool mode on the parent I/O card to enable HSMDA pool support. See To enable named pool mode for more information.

Configure the required parameters in the HSMDA Aggregate Queue Burst panel.

To assign a network queue policy and network policy of ring type to a 7705 SAR:

1. Select a network queue policy (also called an add-drop queue policy) in the Ring Policies panel.

2. Select a network policy in the Network Policy panel.

   Note:

   To assign a network policy of ring type to a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18 MDA, you must set the Network Policy Type for 7705 parameter to Ring when you configure a network policy on the MDA. See To configure a QoS network policy for more information.

Select an Access Ingress Shaper policy in the Shaper Policies panel.

Note: The Shaper policy is supported on all Ethernet MDAs on the 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18 except the following:

• 2 × 10-Gig Bridged Ethernet + 1 × 2.5G Virtual Ethernet MDA

• 6 × 10/100 Ethernet + 2 × 10/100/1000 Ethernet SFP v2

The Shaper policy is supported on all integrated MDAs on all 7705 SAR variants except the following:

• 7705 SAR-M — 2 × 10-Gig Bridged Ethernet XFP + 1 × 2.5G Virtual Ethernet

• 7705 SAR-H — 4 × 10/100 MDA

To configure MAC management:

1. Click on the MAC Operation tab and configure the required parameters.

2. To create an FDB Mac entry, click on the FDB Entries tab. The MDA MAC FDB Management form opens.

3. Configure the required parameters.

4. Select a port in the Port panel.

   Note:

   You can only bind a ring port to an FDB Mac entry.

5. Click OK.

To configure the cellular MDA on 7705 SAR-Hm, click on the Cellular tab and configure the required parameters.

When the 7705 SAR-Hm is operating in dual SIM mode, you can configure the SIM switchover behavior to be automatic based on specified failover criteria. When you set the Active SIM Card parameter to Automatic, you can configure the Down Recovery Interval (Min) and Down Recovery Criteria parameters for each SIM card. These parameters specify failover criteria to determine when to automatically switch to the backup SIM.

If you set the Down Recovery Interval (Min) parameter to be less than the Fail Duration (Min) value set on the cellular port, a node reboot happens instead of a SIM switchover.

If required, click on the Wlan Radio tab and configure the parameters.

If required, click on the Network Interfaces tab to add a network interface card.

Click Add. The Create Network Interface - Routing Instance form opens. See To create an L3 network interface on a routing instance for information on creating a network interface.

If required, perform To configure IMPM on an MDA to configure IMPM on the daughter card.

For 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, and 7950 XRS NEs, network ingress pools are configured on forwarding planes; see To configure a network ingress pool on a forwarding plane.

To configure ATM:

1. Click on the ATM tab, select an ATM configuration, and click Properties. The ATM Configuration form opens.

2. Click on the VP Shaping tab and click Create. The ATM VP Shaper form opens.

3. Configure the VP ID parameter.

4. Select an ATM QoS Policy in the ATM QoS Policy panel.

5. Click on the QoS tab and configure the VP Shaping Weight parameter.

6. Save your changes and close the forms.

7. If required, repeat 1 to 6 to create additional ATM VP shapers.

Save your changes and close the forms.
