Managing the Directory Structure (Non-Redundant)

Managing CMM Directory Content

 

 

 

 

Show Currently Used Configuration

When a switch is booted, the certified and working directories are compared. If they are the same, the switch runs from the working directory. If they are different, the switch runs from the certified directory. A switch running from the certified directory cannot modify directory contents. (This topic is covered in “Where is the Switch Running From?” on page 4-4.)

To check the directory from where the switch is currently running, enter the following command:

->show running-directory

 

CONFIGURATION STATUS

 

Running CMM

: PRIMARY,

CMM Mode

: DUAL CMMs,

Current CMM Slot

: 1,

Running configuration

: WORKING,

Certify/Restore Status

: CERTIFY NEEDED

SYNCHRONIZATION STATUS

 

Flash Between CMMs

: SYNCHRONIZED,

Running Configuration

: NOT AVAILABLE,

Stacks Reload on Takeover: ALL STACKs (SW Activation)

The command returns the directory the switch is currently running from (working or certified) and which CMM is currently controlling the switch (primary or secondary). It also displays whether the working and certified directories are the same, and if a synchronization is needed between the primary and secondary CMM.

The show running-directorycommand is described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
