Remote Management
You can manage remote switches as easily as you manage the local switch a
terminal is connected to. From a terminal connected to any port (with either
USER or MANAGER privilege), enter the command:
TELNET ipadd
to Telnet to the remote switch, specifying the remote router’s IP address.
switchFor information about how to set routes and on how you assign an IP
address to your switch, see “Setting Routes” on page16 and “Assigning an IP
Address” on page 15.
If the connection is successful, a login prompt from the remote switch is
displayed. Login using a login name that has been defined with MANAGER
privilege (such as the default MANAGER login name), and enter the
password.
To return to the local switch and terminate the connection, enter the command:
LOGOFF
For more information about using Telnet, see the Terminal Server chapter in the
AT-8800 Series Switch Software Reference.
Storing Files in FLASH Memory
When you purchase the switch, the switch software release, the online help
files, and a default configuration file are stored in FLASH memory, where they
are saved even if the switch is powered down. You will use the FLASH
memory to store updated software releases or patch es, and files tha t record the
router’s configuration. FLASH memory is like a flat file system, with no
subdirectories.
The switch also has Random Access Memory (RAM). The switch software uses
RAM to run the switch. When you enter commands to configure the switch
these commands affect the dynamic configuration in RAM.
FLASH memory is like a flat file system, with no subdirectories.
File names of up to 16 characters long, with extensions of 3 characters (DOS
16.3 format), are supported on the switch. However, files on the switch are
stored in FLASH using the DOS 8.3 format of 8 characters long, with
