USER’S GUIDE

atalk.nei

This file contains configuration information used when AppleTalk Routing is enabled. This file also contains information regarding ports and static routes. Information from this file is configured and used only when the AppleTalk routing is enabled.

platform.nei

This is a text file that contains a list of platform names and the currently selected platform. Each line in the file contains an ASCII string representing a platform name and a corresponding integer value. The integer value is the crucial item, since this is what the system software uses to determine whether any special action is necessary. The string is displayed when the ver command is issued.

sdconf.rec

This is not a system file; it is a configuration file delivered on the ACE Server. However, you may TFTP this file to the system’s \config directory as an alternate method of providing the system with ACE Server configuration information.

OPERATIONAL FILES

While the CyberSWITCH is running, it collects system statistics and logs system messages. The system maintains these statistics and messages in separate memory-resident tables. The ten most recent versions of each table are available on the system disk.

You can retrieve and view the current memory-resident tables at any time by using the following console commands:

dr This command will display system messages.

da This command will display authentication messages.

ds This command will display system statistics.

You can write the tables to disk by using the following commands:

wr This command will write the current system messages to disk.

wa This command will write the current system messages to disk.

ws This command will write the current system statistics to disk.

Note: When the system is shut down, the tables are automatically written to disk.

The system stores the tables in ASCII format files on the System disk. When the system writes system messages to disk, it stores them in the following location:

Directory: \log

File Name: rprt_log.nn

Where “nn” is an integer that is incremented each time a new file is written.

When the system writes system statistics to disk, it stores them in the following locations:

Directory: \log

File Name: stat_log.nn

Where “nn” is an integer that is incremented each time a new file is written.
