QUICK START

For a more complex configuration, CFGEDIT is the comprehensive utility you may wish use to
initially set up your system; you may use it later to make configuration changes as well. However,
CFGEDIT is NOT dynamic. This means you will have to interrupt normal system operations in
order to update configuration files. 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.
Manage Mode provides a real-time management mechanism that allows you to change the
configuration, without interrupting the current execution state of the system software. But, because
it is dynamic, Manage Mode does have its limitations. So, when making configuration changes, you
usually need to use a combination of both of these two tools. Enter the Mode by entering the
>
manage
command at the system prompt. To save your changes, enter the
commit
command. To
leave the Manage Mode, enter the
exit
command.

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).
