Application Examples for File Management

Managing System Files

 

 

 

 

3Enter the FTP mode by using the ftp command followed by the IP address or the name of the host you are connecting to. (If you enter a host name, please refer to “Using Zmodem” on page 2-24.)

->ftp 10.255.11.101

220 Connecting to [10.255.11.101]...connected. Cosmo Windows FTP server ready

Name : Myhost1

Note. You can only use a host name instead of an IP address if the DNS resolver has been configured and enabled. If not, you must specify an IP address.

4Enter a valid user name and password for the host you specified with the ftp command. A screen similar to the following displays:

Name (d) : Jsmith

331 Password required for Jsmith Password: *****

230 User Jsmith logged in.

5Use the FTP “put” command to transfer the file from your switch to the host as shown here.

ftp> put rrtest.txt

The following will display.

6To exit the switch’s FTP client mode, use the “quit” FTP command. Your current directory on the switch is /flash/working, which is the location from which you initiated the FTP client session. Use the pwd CLI command to verify your current directory.

ftp> quit

221Bye -> pwd /flash/working

Creating a File Directory Using Secure Shell FTP

The following example describes the steps necessary to create a directory on a remote OmniSwitch and to transfer a file into the new directory using Secure Shell FTP.

1Log on to the switch and issue the sftp CLI command with the IP address for the device you are connecting to. The following command establishes a Secure Shell FTP interface from the local OmniSwitch to another OmniSwitch at IP address 10.222.30.125.

-> sftp 10.222.30.125 login as:

omniswitch specifications

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.
