Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Installing a PCMCIA Flash Card The Control Module PCMCIA flash card contains a version of the system image software that is installed at the factory. If you have a more recent system image and want to boot the SSR using the newer software, you must boot either from a PCMCIA card or from a TFTP server. To install a PCMCIA card: 1. Power off the SSR. You cannot install or remove a PCMCIA card while the SSR is running. 2.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup – Run the following command to display the boot log and look for the messages shown in the example above: system show bootlog Note: If the message “SYS-E-NOFLASHCARD” appears, the system has not detected a PCMCIA card. Check to ensure that the card is properly inserted, then reboot. If the system still does not recognize the card, contact Cabletron Systems. (See “Technical Support” on page 111.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Access Modes The SSR CLI has four access modes. • User – Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not allow you to display SNMP, filter, and access control list information or make other configuration changes. You are in User mode when the command prompt ends with the “>”character.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup 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 SmartSwitch Router User Reference Manual.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Setting the Basic System Information Use the procedure 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 SSR) • IP address for the management port on the Control Module Note: Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value. String values can be up to a maximum of 255 characters in length including blank spaces.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Here is an example: ssr(config)# system set name "ssr" ssr(config)# system set location "Houston, TX" ssr(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: ssr(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16 Note: 6.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup The CLI displays the following message: Do you want to make the changes Active (yes)? 8. Type yes to activate the changes. Note: 9. If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z), the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the changes in the scratchpad active.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Setting Up SNMP Community Strings To use SNMP to manage the SSR, you need to set up an SNMP community on the SSR. Otherwise, the SSR’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode unless you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the SSR’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup not configured. Trap Table: Index Trap Target Addr Community String ----- none configured ----- Status Traps by Type: Authentication trap: enabled Link Up/Down trap: enabled Community Table: Index Community String 1. public Privilege READ-WRITE SNMP statistics: 247019 packets received 246346 get requests 745 get-next requests 184 get-bulk requests 50 set requests 0 bad SNMP versions 1 bad community names 0 ASN.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup configuring the SSR for TACACS and RADIUS can be found in the SmartSwitch Router User Reference Manual. Note: If a password is configured for Enable mode, the SSR prompts for the password when you enter the enable command. Otherwise, the SSR displays a message advising you to configure an Enable password, then enters Enable mode. From Enable mode, you can access Configure mode to make configuration changes. The default password for each access level is blank.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Caution: Test all the new passwords before saving the active configuration to the Startup configuration file. As shown in the example above, the passwords are shown in the active configuration in an encrypted format and will also appear this way in the Startup configuration. To keep your passwords secure, the SSR does not have a command for displaying passwords.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup 5. Enter the following command to specify the domain name for which the DNS server(s) have authority: system set dns domain where is the domain name (for example: yagosysterayon.com). 6. Enter the following command to “add” the DNS server to the SSR: system set dns server [,[,]] where is the IP address of the DNS server. You can specify up to three DNS servers.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Setting the SYSLOG Parameters The CLI can use SYSLOG messages to communicate the following types of messages to a SYSLOG server: • Fatal – Provide information about events that caused the SSR to crash and reset. • Error – Provide information about errors. • Warning – Provide warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions that are not necessarily errors. This is the default.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup 5. Enter the show command to show the commands you just entered. Because you have not activated these configuration changes yet, they are listed in the scratchpad section of the show output. Here is an example. Notice that the other configuration changes made during this CLI session also are listed. Active changes are listed in the “Running system configuration section” and unactivated changes are listed in the “Noncommitted changes in Scratchpad” section.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Loading the System Image Software By default, the SSR boots using the system image software installed on the Control Module’s PCMCIA flash card. To upgrade the system software and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure. 1. Display the current boot settings by using the system show version command: Here is an example: ssr# system show version Software Information Software Version : 3.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Here is an example: ssr# system image choose ssr3000 Making image ssr3000 the active image for next reboot 6. Use the system image list command to verify the change. Note: You do not need to activate this change. Loading the Boot PROM Software The SSR boots using the boot PROM software installed on the Control Module’s internal memory. To upgrade the boot PROM software and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure. 1.
Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup Upgrading the VFS A new VFS files system called VFS2 is now available. The new VFS2 dramatically decreases the time required for deleting and adding system images. Note: Upgrading the file system to VFS2 will not erase your configuration image. The new VFS2 file system is only compatible with: • boot PROM version v.1.1.0.8 • system image version 3.1 or later To upgrade the VFS file system to VFS2, perform the following steps: 1.
