CHAPTER 5: IP ADDRESSING

IP ADDRESSING

Additional capabilities have been added to save and load configurations. The commands are:

ftp <getputlistdel> type=<appconfigoldconfscripthostslog> host=<hostname> ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename> user=<user> pass=<password>

tftp <getput> type=<appconfigoldconfscripthostslog> host=<hostname> ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename>

xmodem <getput> type=<appconfigoldconfscripthostslog>

The arguments are describe below:

type: Specifies whether a log file or host file is uploaded or downloaded. This can also perform the task of exporting a configuration file or uploading a new image to the switch

host, ip, file, user, pass: These parameters are associated with ftp/tftp server communications.

The user can save the configuration in old (v2 format) and new (v3 format). The v3 format must be used to utilize the ASCII and CLI Script capability.

save [format=v2v3]

With release 1.7 and higher, the configuration can be saved in the older format (binary object) or in a new format as an ASCII file. The new format is recommended by GE Multilin. Use the old format only if there are multiple MultiLink switches on the network running different versions of software. GE Multilin recommends upgrading all switches to the most current software release.

To ease the process of uploading and executing a series of commands, the ML1200 can create a host (equivalent to creating a host table on many systems). The command for creating a host is:

host <addeditdel> name=<host-name> ip=<ipaddress> user=<user> pass=<password>

The show host command displays the host table entries

ML1200# access

ML1200(access)## host add name=server ip=192.168.5.2

Host added successfully

ML1200(access)## show host

No Host Name IP Address User Password
