Summary

Preface

About This Guide

Describes system concepts, configuration explanations, and examples for SR-OS boot option file (BOF), file system, and system management.

Audience

Intended for network administrators responsible for configuring 7450 ESS-Series routers, assuming understanding of networking principles.

Getting Started

In This Chapter

Provides process flow information to configure basic router and system parameters, operational functions, and boot option tasks.

CLI Usage

CLI Structure

Explains the hierarchical, inverted tree structure of the SR OS CLI, including contexts and scopes.

Navigating in the CLI

Details how to access, configure, and manage routers using the CLI, including context navigation and command syntax.

Basic CLI Commands

Lists and describes console control commands used for navigating the CLI and displaying session information.

CLI Environment Commands

Covers commands for controlling session preferences and CLI prompt display within the root>environment context.

CLI Monitor Commands

Describes monitor commands for displaying statistical information related to subjects at a configurable interval.

Getting Help in the CLI

Explains using 'help' and '?' commands for assistance with CLI commands, syntax, and keywords.

Editing Keystrokes

Lists special keystrokes for editing commands while typing in the CLI.

Absolute Paths

Explains executing CLI commands in any context by specifying the full path from the CLI root.

Entering Numerical Ranges

Details using numerical ranges as arguments in command lines, limited to positive integers.

Pipe/Match

Explains using the pipe feature to search files for strings or patterns and provides examples.

VI Editor

Introduces the 'vi' visual editor for editing ASCII files like configurations and BOF.

EX Commands

Lists commonly used line-editing commands in the EX editor, accessed via ':' in vi.

Configuration Rollback

Feature Behavior

Describes the detailed behavior and CLI usage of the rollback feature, including creating checkpoints and reverting.

File System Management

The File System

Explains the SR OS file system for storing system files like images, configurations, and logs.

Compact Flash Devices

Details the file system's basis on DOS, naming of compact flash devices (cf1, cf2, cf3), and removability.

URLs

Describes file arguments modeled after URLs, categorizing them into local, ftp, and tftp types.

Wildcards

Explains using standard DOS wildcard characters (*) and (?) in file commands for pattern matching.

File Management Tasks

Outlines basic system tasks for file management: modifying attributes, creating directories, copying, moving files.

Creating Directories

Explains using the 'md' command to create new directories in the local file system, one level at a time.

Copying Files

Details 'copy' and 'scp' commands for uploading/downloading files and copying between hosts via SSH.

Moving Files

Explains using the 'move' command to relocate files or directories from one location to another.

Removing Files and Deleting Directories

Describes using 'delete' and 'rd' commands to remove files and empty directories; data is unrecoverable.

Displaying Directory and File Information

Explains using 'dir' to list files/subdirectories and 'type' to display file contents.

Repairing the File System

Describes using the 'repair' command to check compact flash devices for errors and repair them.

Boot Options

System Initialization

Covers SR OS software on compact flash for system initialization, including hardware init and boot file search.

Configuration and Image Loading

Details locating and loading runtime images and config files per BOF parameters.

Persistence

Explains the BOF persist parameter for preserving system indexes across reboots, crucial for NMS.

Lawful Intercept

Describes LI for monitoring communications, configurable for all service types.

Initial System Startup Process Flow

Illustrates startup process, assuming successful location of boot loader, BOF, and config files.

Configuration Notes

Provides BOF config caveats: compact flash install and loading sequence.

Configuring Boot File Options with CLI

Provides information on configuring BOF parameters using the CLI.

BOF Configuration Overview

Outlines tasks performed by the BOF file: port setup, IP addressing, static routes, system parameters.

Basic BOF Configuration

Details essential BOF parameters: primary address, image, config locations.

Common Configuration Tasks

Overview of basic system tasks: BOF setup, CLI access.

Configuring BOF Parameters

Explains configuring BOF parameters: address, static routes, persistence.

Service Management Tasks

Covers service management tasks: viewing, modifying, saving configs, deleting BOF params, rebooting.

Modifying and Saving a Configuration

Explains saving running configs to files, with options for default/non-default parameters and index files.

Saving a Configuration to a Different Filename

Details saving configs with unique filenames for backup copies and text editor editing.

Rebooting

Explains reboot command for routers, CPMs, IOMs, and upgrading boot ROMs.

BOF Command Reference

Provides reference for BOF configuration commands and syntax.

Management Ethernet Configuration

Covers management Ethernet port config: address, autonegotiation, duplex, speed.

Persist

Specifies if system indexes are preserved across reboots when save command is executed.

Primary Configuration

Details specifying primary config file name and location, with fallbacks.

Primary Image

Specifies primary directory for runtime image loading, with fallbacks.

Address

Assigns IP address to management Ethernet port on active/standby CPM.

System Management
