5.2.2.12 The sw command
The sw command enables you to manage the process of upgrading your Multinet4
software version. It is used in conjunction with the SFTP utility. Many versions of the SFTP
(Secure File Transfer Protocol) client and server applications are freely available. Use one of
these to access versions of Multinet4 software.
When you have obtained a new software image move a copy of it to the /swupgrade
directory with the sftp put command. That file will be displayed, marked as a New version,
when you run the sw show command. A detailed example of the upgrade process begins
below.
The table below explains the commands available for software upgrade management
when the Multinet4# prompt is displayed.
Note that entering sw at the Multinet4# prompt does not produce a Multinet4(sw)#
prompt. All sw commands are entered at the Multinet4# prompt. You must enter
sw plus a
specific command.
For example:
MN4
# sw finalize
show show Show current SSH server setting and state:
• CLI Mode–Possible values are Allow Telnet
and SSH Only.
•
SSH Server State – Possible values are No
Key and Running.
No Key is seen only when no Digital
Signature Algorithm (DSA) key has been
generated for the SSH server with the ssh
keygen command or when a complete
reformat of the Multinet4 flash has
eliminated a previously generated key.
keygen keygen Generate a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) key. This
must be done once to start the SSH server.
