CHAPTER 5: IP ADDRESSING IP ADDRESSING
MULTILINK ML3000 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5–21
Additional capabilities have been added to save and load configurations. The commands
are:
ftp <get|put|list|del> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log> host=<hostname>
ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename> user=<user> pass=<password>
tftp <get|put> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log> host=<hostname>
ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename>
xmodem <get|put> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log>
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=v2|v3]
Note
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 ML3000 can
create a host (equivalent to creating a host table on many systems). The command for
creating a host is:
host <add|edit|del> name=<host-name> ip=<ipaddress> user=<user>
pass=<password>
The
show host
command displays the host table entries
