2.2.9 Managing Configuration and Image Files
Matrix Series devices provide a single configuration interface which allows you to perform both
switch and router configuration with the same command set. The device also provides redundant,
distributed copies of each image file in the event that DFE modules are added or removed from the
Matrix chassis. When managing configuration and image files on the Matrix Series device, it is
important to remember the following considerations:
• All modules will have the same image files loaded. If a module is inserted into a chassis, any
images unique to that module will be deleted, and any images not on that module will be copied
to it.
• Configuration files are stored per slot, with each slot in the chassis carrying unique files with it
and not inheriting files.
The Matrix Series devices now support a script feature that allows you to execute a previously
created script file containing CLI commands, and at the time of execution, enter optional arguments
that modify the actions of the commands. This feature is intended to simplify the configuration of
ports and VLANs, by creating script files containing groups of commands that you want to run on
the same port-string or VLAN id. At the time of execution, you pass in the port-string, VLAN id,
and any other required arguments that you want the commands to operate on. Refer to the script
command, Section 2.2.9.7.
The following section describes the command set for managing both switch and router
configuration.
For details on performing a basic routing configuration (while operating in router mode), refer to
Section 12.2.3.
For details on downloading a new firmware image, refer to Section 2.2.6.
