Software Overview 2.3 Introduction SOFTWARE OVERVIEW This section describes the features and capabilities of the RS 8000/8600 in greater detail. 2.3.1 Bridging The RS provides the following types of wire-speed bridging: Address-based bridging – The RS performs this type of bridging by looking up a packet’s destination address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet.
Introduction Software Overview Note All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP. By default, the RS uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The RS can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface.
Software Overview 2.3.4 Introduction Layer-4 Switching In addition to layer-2 bridging and layer-3 routing, the RS performs layer-4 switching. layer-4 switching is based on applications and flows. Layer-4 Applications – The RS understands the application for which an IP or IPX packet contains data and therefore enables you to manage and control traffic on an application basis. For IP traffic, the RS looks at the packet’s TCP or UDP port number to determine the application.

Powering on the RS 8000/8600 Initial Configuration L2-Cache 256 KB, linesize 32, cache enabled. Mounting 16MB external flash card . . .
Initial Configuration Note Powering on the RS 8000/8600 If the message “SYS-E-NOFLASHCARD” appears while booting the RS, the system has not detected a PC card. If this occurs, ensure that the PC card is properly inserted, then reboot. If the system still does not recognize the card, contact Riverstone Networks, Inc. technical support.
Starting the Command Line Interface 4.2 Initial Configuration STARTING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE To start the Command Line Interface (CLI), power on the system, as described in 4.1, "Powering on the RS 8000/8600." After the software is fully booted, press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI. If prompted for a password, simply press Return; the factory default passwords for all access levels is blank. 4.2.
Initial Configuration 4.2.2 Starting the Command Line Interface Basic Line Editing Commands The CLI supports Emacs-like line editing commands. The following table lists some commonly used commands. For a complete set of commands, see the Riverstone RS Switch Router Command Line Interface Reference Manual.
Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File 4.3 Initial Configuration CONFIGURATION CHANGES AND SAVING THE CONFIGURATION FILE The RS uses three special configuration files: Table 4-3 Configuration file contents File Descriptions Scratchpad The configuration commands you have entered during a management session. These commands do not become active until you explicitly activate them.
Initial Configuration Note 4.3.2 Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File If you exit the Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+z), the CLI will ask you whether you want to make active the changes in the scratchpad. If you do not make the changes in the scratchpad active, the changes will be lost when you log out.
Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File 4.3.3 Initial Configuration Viewing the Current Configuration To view the current configuration: 1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command. 2. Enter the following command to display the status of each command line: system show active-config Note Remember that the Active configuration contains both the Startup configuration and any configuration changes that you’ve made active in the current configuration session.
Initial Configuration 4.4 Setting the Basic System Information SETTING THE BASIC SYSTEM INFORMATION Follow the procedures in this section to set the following system information: • • • • • System time and date System name System location Contact name (the person to contact regarding this router) IP address for the management port on the Control Module Note Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value.
Setting the Basic System Information Initial Configuration rs(config)# system set name rs rs(config)# system set location "Houston, TX" rs(config)# system set contact "John Smith" 5. Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface. The en0 Ethernet interface is used by the management port on the Control Module. Here is an example: rs(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16 Note 6.
Initial Configuration 9. Setting the Basic System Information Save the Active configuration to the Startup configuration file using the following command: copy active to startup 10.
Setting Up Passwords 4.5 Initial Configuration SETTING UP PASSWORDS You can password-protect CLI access to the RS 8000/8600 by setting up passwords for User mode access, Enable mode access, and Diag mode access. Users who have a User password but not an Enable password can use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can use commands available in the Enable and Configure modes, as well as the commands in User mode.
Initial Configuration Setting Up Passwords Test all new passwords before saving the active configuration to the Startup configuration file. Caution 4.5.1 If You Forget Your Passwords If you forget your passwords follow the procedure below to regain access to your RS 8000/8600. Note To perform this procedure, you must use a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software that is connected directly to the RS through its DB-9 console port. 1. Power cycle the RS 8000/8600. 2.
Setting Up Passwords Initial Configuration boot LPDJH QDPH! skipconfig=yes Here is an example: rs-boot> boot /pc-flash/boot/ros80 skipconfig=yes 5.
Initial Configuration 4.6 Setting Up SNMP SETTING UP SNMP To use SNMP to manage the RS 8000/8600, you need to set up an SNMP community and specify the IP address of the target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using the snmp stop command. For additional information about configuring SNMP, see the Riverstone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide. 4.6.
Setting Up SNMP Initial Configuration By default, SNMP information is sent and received on the Control Module’s en0 Ethernet port. If you want SNMP to use a different port on the RS, use the following command. snmp set trap-source | Here is an example: rs(config)# snmp set trap-source 134.152.78.192 SNMP will now use the port with IP address 134.152.78.192. Remember, to make this change permanent, enter the save startup command. 4.6.
Initial Configuration Setting Up SNMP For additional information about RS 8000/8600 security and ACLs, see the Riverstone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide. 4.6.3 Supported MIBs The following lists the MIBs that are supported by the RS 8000/8600 SNMP agent.

Initial Configuration 4.7 Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address SETTING THE DNS DOMAIN NAME AND ADDRESS Associating a DNS name server with your RS 8000/8600 allows you to use device names (rather than IP addresses) when entering certain commands. For example, you can use a device’s name (which the DNS server knows) when using the ping command. If you want the RS to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to specify the domain name and IP address for the DNS server. 1.
Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address 7. Initial Configuration Exit Configure mode, then enter the system show dns command to verify the new DNS settings: Here is an example: rs# system show dns DNS domain: mrb.com, DNS server(s): 16.50.11.12 8. Use the ping command to verify that the RS can resolve the DNS server name into its IP address. Here is an example: rs# ping rs PING rs.mktg.mrb.com (16.50.11.22): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 16.50.11.22: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms --- rs.mktg.mrb.
Initial Configuration 4.8 Setting the SYSLOG Parameters SETTING THE SYSLOG PARAMETERS The RS 8000/8600 can use SYSLOG messages to communicate the following types of messages to a SYSLOG server: Table 4-5 Types of SYSLOG messages Message Type Description Fatal Information about events that caused the RS to crash and reset. Error Information about errors. Warning Warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions that are not necessarily errors.
Using Redundant Control Modules Note Initial Configuration The is a string of the form: user, kern, or local0 through local7. These strings are reserved by the SYSLOG server daemon. for information on how is used by the SYSLOG server, see the documentation for your server’s syslog.conf file. Here is an example: rs# config rs(config)# system set syslog server 16.50.11.12 rs(config)# system set syslog level info rs(config)# system set syslog facility local0 5.
Initial Configuration Using Redundant Control Modules Each message confirms that the Active and Startup Configurations were saved to the backup CM. 4.9.1 Fail Over There are two ways that the primary CM can fail – either by a software failure (which causes a soft fail over) or by a hardware failure (which causes a hard fail over). Each of these failures cause the backup CM to assume the role of primary CM in a different way.
Using Redundant Control Modules 4.9.2 Initial Configuration Communicating with the Backup Control Module There are two ways to establish communication with the backup CM: through the backup CM’s console port or through a telnet session from the primary CM to the backup CM using the keyword backup-cm. For Instance, the following example shows a telnet session from the primary CM to the backup CM.
Initial Configuration Using Redundant Control Modules For example, enter Enable mode on the backup CM, and then enter the help command (?).
Using Redundant Control Modules Initial Configuration Software/Hardware Versions Make sure that the software images are the same on the primary CM and backup CM – it is possible to have two different software images on each Control Module. If the images are not the same and fail over occurs, the image on the backup CM may or may not be able to process the configuration of the failed primary CM.
5 MANAGING SOFTWARE This chapter describes how to perform operations regarding RS 8000/8600 operating software and bootPROM images software. The following topics are covered: • • • • • • Upgrading the system image software Upgrading the Boot PROM image software Loading RS software from a TFTP server Loading RS software from a BootP/TFTP server Upgrading the operating software without rebooting the RS Upgrading FPGA code on line cards 5.
Upgrading System Image Software Managing Software system image add Note The is the full directory path and filename to the image software file on the TFTP server. Here is an example: rs# system image add 134.152.178.5 tftpboot/ros81 Downloading image 'tftpboot/ros81' from host '134.152.178.5' to local image ros81 (takes a while) . . . download: done save: kernel: 100% done Image checksum validated. %SYS-I-BOOTADDED, Image 'ros81' added. 4.
Managing Software Note 6. If the RS has a redundant Control Module, the upgrade performed on the primary CM will occur automatically on the backup CM. Use the system image list command to verify the change. Note 7. Upgrading Boot PROM Software You do not need to activate this change. Reboot the RS to load and run the new system software image. 5.2 UPGRADING BOOT PROM SOFTWARE The RS boots using the boot PROM image software installed on the Control Module’s internal memory.
Upgrading Boot PROM Software Note Managing Software The is the full directory path and filename to the bootPROM image file on the TFTP server.
Managing Software Upgrading Boot PROM Software Here is an example: rs# system promimage upgrade 134.152.178.5 tftpboot/prom-211 Downloading image 'tftpboot/prom-211' from host '134.152.178.5' image is a prom upgrade to version 'prom-2.0.1.1' tftp complete checksum valid. Ready to program. Active-CM: flash found Active-CM: erasing... Active-CM: programming... Active-CM: verifying... Active-CM: programming successful. Active-CM: Programming complete. rs# 4. Reboot the RS. 5.
Loading Software from the Network 5.3 Managing Software LOADING SOFTWARE FROM THE NETWORK Typically, the RS loads its operating software from the PC flash card inserted in the Control Module. Alternately, the RS can be configured to ignore its PC flash image and obtain its software from a network server. The RS can obtain its image software from either a TFTP or BootP/TFTP server. 5.3.
Managing Software rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-root> set set set set set Loading Software from the Network netaddr netmask gateway bootsource bootaddr Here is an example: rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-boot> rs-boot> 6. set set set set set netaddr 134.152.179.132 netmask 255.255.255.224 gateway 134.152.179.129 bootsource /tftpboot/ros80 bootaddr 134.152.176.5 Enter the set command to view the changes.
Loading Software from the Network 5.3.2 Managing Software Loading Image Software from a BootP/TFTP Server The RS contains a BootP client and can be configured to obtain its image software from a BootP/TFTP server. Using the BootP client allows the RS to obtain its software network address from the server using only its MAC address. This eliminates the need to initially configure the RS’s IP address, subnet mask, and boot source.
Managing Software 6. Hitless Software Upgrade Reboot the RS by entering the reboot command at the Boot prompt. Here is an example: rs-boot> reboot Ethernet Base address = 00:00:1d:12:34:56 Ethernet CPU address = 00:00:1d:12:34:57 Performing Bootp with timeout in 5 seconds. ** plen = 300 plen - sizeof(struct bootp) = 0 BOOTPD='134.141.179.134' netaddr='134.141.179.132' * bootp source is C:\TFTPBOOT\ROS80 Booting boot file C:\TFTPBOOT\ROS80. source: tftp://134.141.179.
Hitless Software Upgrade 5.4.1 Managing Software Hitless Upgrade Example The following is a step-by-step example of performing a hitless upgrade.Note that for this example, the TFTP server IP address is 134.141.178.5 and the upgrade image path and filename is “/tftpboot/ros12.” Furthermore, in this example, the primary CM resides in slot CM and the backup CM resides in slot CM/1. 1. Load the new RS operating software image onto a TFTP server that is reachable by the RS. 2.
Managing Software 3. Hitless Software Upgrade Enter the system image choose backup-cm command and choose the new software image as the image to use for the next reboot. rs# system image choose ros12 backup-cm **Warning: Be sure to also choose this image on the Primary Control Module so that the same images are chosen for next reboot on the Control Modules. Failure to do so may prevent hot failover from working correctly. Choosing image on Backup CM Making image ros12 (version 12.0.0.
Upgrading FPGA Code 7. Managing Software When satisfied with the software upgrade, you can repeat the previous steps to load the upgraded software onto the Control Module in slot CM (currently the backup CM) and return its state to primary CM. 5.5 UPGRADING FPGA CODE On occasion, Riverstone Networks may make upgraded Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) code available for certain line cards. To download an FPGA upgrade, use the system linecard command from Enable mode.

Upgrading FPGA Code 1. Managing Software Load the FPGA code files onto the TFTP server. Make sure that the RS can reach the server across the network. Enter the system linecard upgrade command, specifying the IP address of the TFTP server, the full path and filename of the FPGA code, and the slot number within which the flash RAM card resides. rs# system linecard upgrade 10.50.89.88 posrel/oc12_mpls_38k/oc12mr38.000 slot0 Downloading package 'posrel/oc12_mpls_8k/oc12mr8x.000' from host '10.50.89.
