Upgrading Software
The CyberSWITCH is configured using the configuration editor, CFGEDIT. To begin the
configuration process:
Start up the configuration editor, CFGEDIT. Your machine should be at the system prompt. To start
up the configuration editor simply type:
[system name]>
cfgedit
The main configuration menu should now be displayed. Refer to
Connectivity
for the configuration
steps required for the device you wish to connect.
Note:
If you are prompted for configuration information that you don’t know, use the default.
This document will provide detailed instructions if something other than the default is
required.
Once the system is working, minor configuration changes can be made in real time with the
Dynamic Management feature. This feature consists of console commands that enable you to
display current system parameters, change many parameters dynamically, and write changes to
disk files so that they remain permanent. Before using Dynamic Management commands, you must
first enter the special Manage Mode by typing the following command at the system prompt:
>manage
While operating in Manage Mode, only Dynamic Management commands are available. All other
system commands are ignored until you exit Manage Mode.

OFTWARE
An upgrade of system software may involve the upgrade of two components: the second stage boot
(SSB) and the operational software (OSW). For most upgrades, if you have a working SSB, you will
only need to upgrade the OSW. If the new OSW requires an upgraded SSB, you will be alerted in
the Release Notes.
The CyberSWITCH offers two different methods of upgrade—local and remote.
•
To perform a local upgrade refer to the section titled
Local Software Upgrade
. (A local upgrade
is performed via the administration console attached to the system’s RS232 port).
•
To perform a remote upgrade refer to the section titled
Remote Software Upgrade
. (A remote up-
grade is performed over the network using Telnet and TFTP).
For countries other than Japan, upgrade files are located on the CSX1200 CD. Refer to the immedi-
ately following section for CD file structure information.
For Japan, refer to the CSX1200 CD for documentation only. Note that Japanese upgrade files are
provided on diskettes. Keep this in mind while reading through the following file structure and
upgrade instructions.
