Chapter 2 Installing CNS NetFlow Collection Engine

Installing on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Platform

b.If downloading the image over the web:

Download the distribution file to a directory with as least 200 MB of available space.

Untar the distribution tar:

tar xf <download-file>

The following files are created:

NFC_setup.sh (the install script)

CSCOnfc-linux- <version>-<build>.<type>.i386.rpm (the install image)

Run the install script specifying the install image as the argument, for example:

./NFC_setup.sh CSCOnfc-linux-5.0-4.standard.i386.rpm

Note On Linux, the install image CSCOnfc-linux-<version>- <build>.<type>.i386.rpm is an RPM package file in the format recognized by the Red Hat RPM program

Note Software can only be installed in the directory /opt/CSCOnfc. If some other directory is desired, create a symbolic link to /opt/CSCOnfc before installing the software.

The following example illustrates these steps. The installation script is invoked while logged in as root.

#./NFC_setup.sh CSCOnfc-5.0-4.standard.i386.rpm
