Service Manual

Logging in to a NetBSD UNIX Shell

To log in to the NetBSD UNIX shell on a switch to directly use any of the UNIX commands described in Supported UNIX Utilities or to run a

script, use the start shell command.

You are prompted to enter a user name and password before you can access the shell. Login is performed using SSHv2.

• Access the shell to run UNIX commands or a script (see Running a Script from the UNIX Shell).

EXEC Privilege mode

start shell

Downloading Scripts to a Switch

Download a script to the switch using TFTP, FTP, or FLASH. Save the script to the dedicated script storage location, /usr/pkg/ss-

scripts. For S3100 series, the storage location is /f10/flash/pkg/ss-scripts.

Network File System (NFS)

A Network File System (NFS) allows you to mount the le systems over a network and locally interact with those le systems. To manage

the le systems, perform the following tasks:

1 Congure the folders to mount a remote directory in the local Dell Networking OS path through a network le system (NFS).

CONFIGURATION mode

mount nfs nfs-server-ip: remote_dir mount_name [username username | password password]

NOTE

: The NFS server exportfs setting must include the insecure keyword.

root@administrator-X8DTU-6:/usr# exportfs -v

/home/admin 1.1.0.0/16

(rw, wdelay, insecure, root_squash, no_subtree_check, sec=sys, rw, root_squash,

no_all_squash)

2 Copy a script to a switch and the downloaded les are stored at /usr/pkg/ss-scripts.

EXEC

script get url

NOTE

: For S3100 series, the downloaded les are stored at /f10/flash/pkg/ss-

scripts.

3 Remove a script from a switch.

EXEC

script remove {file_name file-name | all}

Setting a Search Path for Scripts

Create a path to the location where you stored the scripts. The Dell Networking OS uses this path when searching for the scripts. This way

you do not have to specify a specic path when executing a script.

• Set a search path for a script in the Dell Networking OS.

CONFIGURATION mode

script path path-name
