106CS 1000 on Linux base
Note 1: To establish a connection using SSH or SFTP you need to have a valid server address, and you must connect through port 22.
Note 2: If SFTP or SCP is not available, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used. Invoke the CLI command ftpenable to access FTP; and invoke the CLI command ftpdisable to close FTP. The ftpenable command opens a timed window that closes after 5 minutes of inactivity. The patch folder is the only folder that is visible if FTP is chosen.
Patching
Linux base supports two patch categories:
•Patch: This category of patch changes program behavior for a period of time. You can use it for such things as fixing bugs or for diagnostic purposes. In some instances, you can apply this category of patch without a program restart.
•Service Update: A service update (SU) is a cumulative update of patches. A service update is a full application Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package distribution that contains all patches that you apply to a specific application, and replaces previous service updates.
An overview of the patching operation is provided in “Patching Operation” (page 106).
