2-2 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING EXTENDED SWITCHING SOFTWARE
Copying to UNIX The LANplex software for a UNIX-based hard disk is distributed on four
floppy diskettes. Diskettes #1, #2, and #3 contain the LANplex software.
Diskette #4 contains the SNMP MIBs.
The SNMP MIBs, on diskette #4, are provided so that you can compile on 3rd
party applications.
To copy software to a UNIX hard disk, follow the instructions below:
If the directory “/usr/lp6000R” does not exist on your computer, create the
directory before proceeding. If your “/usr” directory is full, you can use a
different directory. In this case, substitute the actual directory used for
“/usr” in this and subsequent examples.
1Insert diskette #1 into a disk drive (these instructions assume drive fd0).
2Extract the first part of the LANplex software file using the following
commands:
cd /usr/lp6000R
tar xvf /dev/rfd0
3Remove diskette #1 using the following command:
# eject
4Insert diskette #2 into a disk drive and extract the second part of the file
using the following commands:
tar xvf /dev/rfd0
5Remove diskette #2 using the following command:
# eject
The following files should be in your current default directory:
■README1
■lp6000R00
■lp6000R01
■lp6000R02
■restore_lpxR
