SYSTEM COMMANDS

Terminating and Restarting the CyberSWITCH

CONFIGURATION-RELATED COMMANDS

The following commands provide configuration file information, and restore backup configuration files:

cfg

Provides information on the status of system configuration changes. With Manage Mode and/ or CFGEDIT, you can make changes to the system configuration. (This, in turn, changes the .nei files.) If you do not commit these changes (Manage Mode) or restart your system (CFGEDIT), these changes do not become current. This command identifies whether or not changes have been made which are not yet current. The command will display the following information:

Unsaved Manage Mode Changes Exist	.........YES (or NO)
Cfgedit Changes Have Been Saved		...........	YES (or NO)
System Data Differs from Config		Files	YES (or NO)
To Synchronize System Data With		Config Files
	RESTART THE	SYSTEM
	(or COMMIT FROM MANAGE MODE)

restore

Replaces the current configuration files with the configuration backup files (.bak files) located in the \CONFIG directory, thus restoring the previous system configuration. Because this command will destroy your current configuration, a warning is displayed when issued:

WARNING:This command overwrites your current configuration files. Are you sure you want to restore your old configuration? (Y or N)

If you indeed want to restore the old configuration, type “Y”. If not, type “N” (default).

Note that you must have saved configuration changes at least one time before the restore command will work.

TERMINATING AND RESTARTING THE CYBERSWITCH

The following commands are used to terminate and restart the system program:

quit

Terminates the system program. You may need to “quit” in order to perform a system function such as a system upgrade, configuration change or a configuration backup.

start_ne

Restarts the system program and is available only after you issue the quit command. After issuing the start_ne command, you must again login to the system.

restart

Generally used from a remote site (when using Telnet or TFTP), although it is functional from a local console as well. The restart command reboots the system and automatically starts up the system software. Issue this command after making configuration changes with CFGEDIT, in order for these changes to take effect.

If you prefer, you can make configuration changes and store them remotely. Later, you can transfer the changes (the .nei files) to the system using TFTP. In order for these changes to take
