ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
243
When specifying a local or remote filename, the switch permits only the following characters:
● Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z)
● Numerals (0-9)
● Period ( . )
● Dash ( - )
● Underscore ( _ )
● Slash ( / ) Permitted only for remote files
When naming a local or remote file, remember the requirements listed above.
Virtual Router Requirements. The
vr_name option specifies the name of the virtual router. The valid
virtual router names at system boot-up are VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default; however, you can
only TFTP on VR-Mgmt and VR-Default. On the BlackDiamond 10808 switch, you can also create and
configure your own virtual routers. In ExtremeWare XOS 10.1, the valid virtual routers are VR-0, VR-1,
and VR-2 respectively. For more information about virtual routers, see “Virtual Routers” in the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
Internal Memory and Core Dump Files. Core dump files have a .gz file extension. The filename format is:
core.<process-name.pid>.gz where process-name indicates the name of the process that failed and
pid is the numerical identifier of that process. If you have a modular switch and save core dump files to
the external memory card, the filename also includes the affected MSM: MSM-A or MSM-B.
If you configure and enable the switch to send core dump (debug) information to the internal memory
card, specify the
internal-memory option to transfer those files from the internal memory card to a
TFTP server. If you have a modular switch, you can transfer core dump information to and from the
external compact flash card.
If the switch has not saved any debug files, you cannot transfer other files to or from the internal
memory. For example if you attempt to transfer a configuration file from the switch to the internal
memory, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Error: tftp transfer to internal-memory not allowed.
For information about configuring and sending core dump information to the internal memory card, see
the
configure debug core-dumps and save debug tracefiles memorycard commands.
For more detailed information about core dump files, see Chapter B, “Troubleshooting,” in the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.
Modular Switches Only. If you specify the
memorycard option, you can copy and transfer files to and
from the external memory card using TFTP.
Other Useful Commands. On the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 10808 switch,
use the
download bootrom command to upgrade the BootROM. This command utilizes TFTP to
transfer the BootROM image file from your TFTP server to the switch. Only upgrade the BootROM
when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical representative. For more information about this
command, see “download bootrom” on page 1897.
To upgrade the image, use the
download image command. This command utilizes TFTP to transfer the
software image file from your TFTP server to the switch. For more information about this command, see
“download image” on page 1900.
