About This Guide

Introduction

Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the edge of the
network. This requires extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities to the network edge—
whether in a metro network, a campus network or in a data center. The challenge at the edge of the network is
compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily manage customer services in an intuitive manner. Further,
of many rollouts. Whether deployed from a central office or from remote huts, space is an important constraint for
such providers.

In order to meet these challenges, the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series was purpose-built to
offer flexible, secure and advanced processing capabilities in a compact form factor. The NetIron CES 2000 Series
is a compact 1 RU, multi-service edge/aggregation switch with a powerful set of capabilities chosen to combine
performance with rich functionality at the edge of the network. The NetIron CES 2000 Series switches offer
network planners a rich set of high-performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge (PB) and Provider
Backbone Bridge (PBB) functionalities in the same device. With these capabilities, a diverse set of applications
ranging from metro edge networks, ISPs, data centers, large enterprises, government networks, and education/
research can be addressed with the NetIron CES 2000 Series.

There are six flavors to the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series:

NetIron CES 2000 Series Network Interfaces

This section describes the port types in the NetIron CES 2000 Series.

10/100/1000 Mbps Ports

The 100/1000 ports on the NetIron CES 2000 Series use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the
speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other
end of the link and adjust port speed accordingly.

Combination Ports

On devices with combo ports, one port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. Combo
ports are numbered 1-4. For example, you can use either copper port 2 or fiber port 2, but not both at the same
time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.

If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence
over the copper connectors. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device selects the

fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device selects the
copper media.

10-Gbps Ports

The NetIron CES 2048CX and the NetIron CES 2048FX comes with 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports installed. A 24 port
NetIron CES has a slot to accommodate a 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. If your device does not include a 10-GbE
module, you can optionally install one. See “Installing or Replacing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module” on page 6-5.

The 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports use 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant transceivers.

6 Cooling Fans

Cooling System and Fans

This section describes the fans in the NetIron CES 2000 Series device with 6 fans.

NetIron CES 2000 Series Fans

The NetIron CES 2000 Series device cooling fans use pull configuration to move the air from the front to the back
of the device.

The fans in the NetIron CES Series switches include six four-speed fans that operate at low speed, medium
speed, medium-high speed, and high speed based on the ambient temperature and configured or default
temperature thresholds. All fans operate simultaneously at the same speed. If one fan fails, it does not affect the
operation of the other fan.

The system uses a default or configured temperature threshold associated with it to determine at which speed the
fan should operate. If desired, you can change the settings of the temperature thresholds associated with fan
speed switches.

Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing the unit.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium battery is a long life battery and it is very possible
that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace it, do not dispose of the battery along
with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit
site.

WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed

40ο C (104ο F).

CAUTION: Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.

CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the chassis.

Installation

Lifting Precautions

WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming

unstable or falling over.

WARNING: Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power Precautions

CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the

circuits fails.

CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere rat­ings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

CAUTION: Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside down,
although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down.

CAUTION: Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device. Oth­erwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power
supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.)

CAUTION: The power supply is designed exclusively for use with the NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series
devices. The power supply produces extensive power. Installing the power supply in a device other than the
NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series devices will cause extensive damage to your equipment.

March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 3 - 3

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

WARNING: Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies

installed in the chassis. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply.

WARNING: Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power
supply from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply is
being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source. Otherwise, you
could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.

WARNING: Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the device to connect it to the power source.

WARNING: If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure
you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your
country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.

CAUTION: All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A
restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool,
lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

CAUTION: For the DC input circuit (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), make sure there is a Listed 20
amp circuit breaker, minimum 48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the power supply. The input wiring for connec­tion to the product should be Listed copper wire, 12 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 C.

CAUTION: For a DC system (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), use a grounding wire of at least 6
American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire should be attached to an agency-approved crimp connector,
crimped with the proper tool.

Preparing the Installation Site

Cabling Infrastructure

Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. See “Hardware Specifications” on page C-1 or
www.foundrynetworks.com for a summary of supported cabling types and their specifications.

WARNING: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isola­tion from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to con­nect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Installation Location

Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least
3" of space at the front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of
3" of space between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.

The NetIron CES 2000 is suitable for installation in Network Telecommunications facilities and locations where the
NEC (National Electric Code) apply.

NOTE: The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

NOTE: If the outlet is not rated 115/120V, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet.

WARNING: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building

or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isola­tion from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to con­nect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

WARNING: Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug insure the bare copper wire has been
cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare wire.

WARNING: To insure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 PSI of torque is
required to be applied to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug."

Verifying Proper Operation

After you have installed any redundant power supplies, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into
a power source and verifying that it passes its self test.

If your device has more than one power supply installed, repeat this procedure for each power supply.

1. Connect the power cord supplied with the device to the power connector on the power supply on the rear of
the device.

2. Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

3. Verify that the LED for each power supply is a solid green.

4. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs:

All the port LEDs should flash momentarily, usually in sequence, while the device performs diagnostics. After
the diagnostics are complete, the LEDs will be dark except for the ones that are attached by cables to other
devices. If the links on these cables are good and the connected device is powered on, the link LEDs will light.

Observing the Power Status LEDs

Table 3.2 lists the LEDs that show power status. The power supplies themselves do not have LEDs.

The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status information from
any management session. In addition, the software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if
a status change occurs.

Attaching a PC or Terminal

To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based
interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through Telnet connections.
The CLI is described in detail in the Foundry Switch and Router Command Line Interface Reference.

You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the Console
port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web management interface,
or IronView Network Manager.

To attach a management station using the serial port:

1. Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through cable. The serial port has a
male DB-9 connector.

NOTE: You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.

2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:

• Baud: 9600 bps

3 - 16 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. March 2009

Installation

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal
emulation window. For example:

• NetIron>

If you see this of these prompt, you are now connected to the system and can proceed to “Assigning Permanent
Passwords” on page 4-1.

You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. See the Foundry NetIron Configuration Guide.

If you do not see one of these prompts:

1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Foundry system.

2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make
sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Foundry system.

The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP
workstation.

Connecting a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch

to a Network Device

This chapter provides information about performing the following tasks:

• Securing access to the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch’s CLI by assigning passwords

• Configuring IP addresses for the management, Ethernet, virtual, and loopback interfaces

• Understanding how the management port functions

• Connecting a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to another networking device

Chapter 4

• Testing network connectivity

This chapter also includes information about troubleshooting a network connection in case a problem arises

WARNING: The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.

Assigning Permanent Passwords

By default, the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch’s CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access,
Brocade strongly recommends assigning passwords. (For additional information on security, see the Foundry
Security Guide.)

The CLI contains the following access levels:

• Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can
perform tasks such as manage files on the management module’s flash memory or a PCMCIA flash card in
the management module’s slots 1 or 2, save the system configuration to flash memory, and clear caches at
this level.

• CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and configure routing
features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC
mode.

NOTE: You can assign passwords using the IronView Network Manager if an Enable password for a Super User
is already configured on the device.

March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 4 - 1

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:

• Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.

NOTE: You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.

• Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)
parameters.

• Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.

To set passwords:

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode:

NetIron> enable
NetIron#

2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:

NetIron# configure terminal
NetIron(config)#

3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password:

NetIron(config)# enable super-user-password <text>

NOTE: You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.

4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:

NetIron(config)# enable port-config-password <text>
NetIron(config)# enable read-only-password <text>

NOTE: If you forget your super-user password, see the Release Notes.

Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password <text>

Passwords can be up to 48 characters long.

Configuring IP Addresses

The NetIron CES 2000 Series switch implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how
you assign IP addresses. Table 4.1 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.

In this table, “in band” refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while “out of band” refers to an
interface over which control packets related to system management are forwarded.

Support of Sub-Net Masks

The NetIron CES 2000 Series switch supports both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net masks,
and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C sub-net mask.

• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask
immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network
mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.

Assigning an IP Address to a Management Interface

Instead of assigning a global IP address to the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch for system management
purposes, you now assign an IP address to the management interface. The IP address is assigned to the active
management module port. If the active management module becomes unavailable and the redundant module
becomes the active module, the IP address is assigned to the new active management module port.

For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management interface, do the following:

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable:

NetIron> enable

2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, NetIron#), then press Enter.
This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:

NetIron# erase startup-config

CAUTION: Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a sys­tem you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally erase the configura­tion on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup­config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 4 - 3

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

NetIron# configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level
NetIron(config)# Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering the following commands:

NetIron(config)# interface management 1
NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0

Syntax: enable [<password>]

Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: interface management 1

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>

or

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>

Assigning an IP Address to an Interface, Virtual Interface, or Loopback

As you have done with other Brocade devices, you must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual
interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback interface, which is
generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.

You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the
CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface. You can use IronView Network Manager to assign IP
addresses to virtual routing interfaces only.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each interface, virtual interface, and loopback interface.

For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and sub-net mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet interface 1/1, do
the following.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

NetIron> enable

2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases
the factory test configuration if still present:

NetIron# erase startup-config

CAUTION: Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to
the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

NetIron# configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level
NetIron(config)# Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP address and sub-net mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by entering the following commands:

NetIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
NetIron(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

Syntax: enable [<password>]

Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask> [secondary]

or

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits> [secondary]

Connecting a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch to a Network Device

Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same sub-net on the
interface.

Enabling and Disabling the Interfaces

By default, all NetIron CES 2000 Series interfaces are disabled. To enable an interface, you must enter the enable
command at the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management
interface, enter the enable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI:

NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# enable

Syntax: enable

You can disable each of these interfaces using the disable command at the appropriate interface configuration
level of the CLI. For example, to disable the management port, enter the disable command at the management
interface configuration level of the CLI:

NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# disable

Syntax: disable

NOTE: For security reasons, by default, the telnet server is disabled on the NetIron CES 2000. To enable the
telnet server and allow access via telnet to the NetIron CES 2000 from an external host, execute the following:

NetIron(config)# telnet server

Understanding How the Management Port Functions

You must be aware of how the NetIron CES 2000 Series system’s management port functions as described in the
following:

• The management port allows you to configure, monitor, and manage the NetIron CES 2000 Series system
only. As a result, this port has the same limited functionality as an IP host port.

• You cannot enable and run routing protocols on the management port.

• The management port supports static routes and directly connected routes, which are installed in the
management module’s routing table. However, these routes are not installed in the interface module’s routing
table. Therefore, the interface modules are not aware of the management port’s static or directly connected
routes.

• If you configure the redistribution of directly connected or static routes for a particular routing protocol, the
routing protocol will redistribute directly connected or static routes associated with the interface module ports
but not those associated with the management port.

To display configuration information and statistics about the management port, you can enter the show interface

management 1 command at any CLI level.

Connecting a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch

You can connect a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to another Ethernet network device. The NetIron CES 2000
Series switch supports connections to other vendors’ as well as Brocade network devices.

To connect a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to another network device, you must do the following:

• Install the fiber-optic modules if required

• Cable the modules with either copper cable or fiber optic cable as required

The following sections provide information about performing these tasks as well as cleaning the fiber-optic
connectors and troubleshooting network connections.

March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 4 - 5

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

Installing a Fiber-Optic Module

To connect a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to another network device using a fiber port, do the following:

• Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or XFP as required by your interface module)

WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.

Before installing a fiber-optic module, have on hand an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD
connector on the NetIron CES 2000 Series chassis.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor.

To install a fiber-optic module into an Ethernet port, do the following:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the
upper right corner of the chassis front.

2. Remove the module from its protective packaging.

3. Remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module’s control panel.

4. Gently insert the fiber-optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The fiber-optic modules are
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a Fiber-Optic Module

To cable a fiber-optic module, do the following:

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2. Before cabling a fiber-optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the
port connectors.

3. Gently insert the two cable connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connectors
until the tabs lock into place.

Cleaning Fiber-Optic Modules

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic module port and the fiber cable connector, Brocade
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors before making this connection. In particular, dust can accumulate
in either connector and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. You can purchase
this type of cleaner from the following Website:

http://www.fisfiber.com/

When not using a fiber-optic module port connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

Chapter 5

Getting Familiar With

the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch

Management Applications

This chapter describes the different applications you can use to manage the NetIron CES 2000 Series switches.
The NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch supports the same management applications as other Foundry devices.

As with other Foundry devices, you can manage a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch using any of the following
applications:

• Command Line Interface (CLI) – a text-based interface accessible directly from a PC or terminal attached to
the device’s serial (Console) port or 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet (management) port, or from a Telnet
connection to the PC or terminal.

• IronView Network Manager Network Manager – An optional SNMP-based standalone GUI application.

The following section describes how to log on to these applications.

Logging on Through the CLI

Once an IP address is assigned to the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch’s management port, you can access the
CLI through a PC or terminal attached to the device’s serial (Console) port or 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet
(management) port, or from a Telnet or SSH connection to the PC or terminal.

You can initiate a local Telnet, SSH or SNMP connection by specifying the management port’s IP address.

The commands in the CLI are organized into the following levels:

• User EXEC – Lets you display information and perform basic tasks such as pings and traceroutes.

• Privileged EXEC – Lets you use the same commands as those at the User EXEC level plus configuration
commands that do not require saving the changes to the system-config file.

• CONFIG – Lets you make configuration changes to the device. To save the changes across software reloads
and system resets, you need to save them to the system-config file. The CONFIG level contains sub-levels for
individual ports, for VLANs, for routing protocols, and other configuration areas.

NOTE: By default, any user who can open a direct or Telnet connection to a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch
can access all these CLI levels. To secure access, you can configure Enable passwords or local user accounts, or
you can configure the device to use a RADIUS or TACACS/TACACS+ server for authentication. See the Foundry
Security Guide.

Unrecognized command

Command Completion

The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command or option. As
long as you enter enough characters of the command or option name to avoid ambiguity with other commands or
options, the CLI understands what you are typing.

Scroll Control

By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the number of rows in your
terminal emulation window. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the global CONFIG level but
your terminal emulation window does not have enough rows to display them all at once, the page mode stops the
display and lists your choices for continuing the display.

Here is an example:

aaa
access-list
all-client
arp
banner
base-mac-addr
boot

some lines omitted for brevity...

default-vlan-id
enable
enable-acl-counter
end
exit

--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c

The software provides the following scrolling options:

• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at time).

• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).

• Press Ctrl-C cancel the display.

Line Editing Commands

The CLI supports the following line editing commands. To enter a line-editing command, use the CTRL-key
combination for the command by pressing and holding the CTRL key, then pressing the letter associated with the
command.

Searching and Filtering Output from CLI Commands

You can filter CLI output from show commands and at the --More-- prompt. You can search for individual
characters, strings, or construct complex regular expressions to filter the output.

Searching and Filtering Output from show commands

You can filter output from show commands to display lines containing a specified string, lines that do not contain a
specified string, or output starting with a line containing a specified string. The search string is a regular
expression consisting of a single character or string of characters. You can use special characters to construct
complex regular expressions. See “Using Special Characters in Regular Expressions” on page 5-6 for information
on special characters used with regular expressions.

Displaying Lines Containing a Specified String

The following command filters the output of the show interface command for port 3/1 so it displays only lines
containing the word “Internet”. This command can be used to display the IP address of the interface.

NetIron # show interface e 3/1 | include Internet
Internet address is 192.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet

Syntax: <show-command> | include <regular-expression>

NOTE: The vertical bar ( | ) is part of the command.

Note that the regular expression specified as the search string is case sensitive. In the example above, a search
string of “Internet” would match the line containing the IP address, but a search string of “internet” would not.

Displaying Lines That Do Not Contain a Specified String

The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays only lines that do not contain
the word “closed”. This command can be used to display open connections to a NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch.

Syntax: <show-command> | exclude <regular-expression>

Displaying Lines Starting with a Specified String

The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays output starting with the first line
that contains the word “SSH”. This command can be used to display information about SSH connections to the
NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch.

Syntax: <show-command> | begin <regular-expression>

As with the commands for filtering output from show commands, the search string is a regular expression
consisting of a single character or string of characters. You can use special characters to construct complex
regular expressions. See the next section for information on special characters used with regular expressions.

Using Special Characters in Regular Expressions

You use a regular expression to specify a single character or multiple characters as a search string. In addition,
you can include special characters that influence the way the software matches the output against the search
string. These special characters are listed in the following table.

Table 5.2: Special Characters for Regular Expressions

Character Operation

. The period matches on any single character, including a blank space.

For example, the following regular expression matches “aaz”, “abz”, “acz”, and so on, but
not just “az”:

a.z

* The asterisk matches on zero or more sequential instances of a pattern.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains the string
“abc”, followed by zero or more Xs:

abcX*

+ The plus sign matches on one or more sequential instances of a pattern.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains "de", followed
by a sequence of “g”s, such as “deg”, “degg”, “deggg”, and so on:

deg+

Getting Familiar With the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch Management Applications

Table 5.2: Special Characters for Regular Expressions (Continued)

Character Operation

? The question mark matches on zero occurrences or one occurrence of a pattern.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains "dg" or "deg":

de?g

Note: Normally when you type a question mark, the CLI lists the commands or options at
that CLI level that begin with the character or string you entered. However, if you enter Ctrl­V and then type a question mark, the question mark is inserted into the command line,
allowing you to use it as part of a regular expression.

^ A caret (when not used within brackets) matches on the beginning of an input string.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that begins with “deg”:

^deg

$ A dollar sign matches on the end of an input string.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that ends with “deg”:

deg$

_ An underscore matches on one or more of the following:

• , (comma)

• { (left curly brace)

• } (right curly brace)

• ( (left parenthesis)

• ) (right parenthesis)

• The beginning of the input string

• The end of the input string

• A blank space

For example, the following regular expression matches on “100” but not on “1002”, “2100”,
and so on:

_100_

[ ] Square brackets enclose a range of single-character patterns.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”,
or “5”:

[1-5]

You can use the following expression symbols within the brackets. These symbols are
allowed only inside the brackets.

• ^ – The caret matches on any characters except the ones in the brackets. For

example, the following regular expression matches output that does not contain “1”,
“2”, “3”, “4”, or “5”:

[^1-5]

• - The hyphen separates the beginning and ending of a range of characters. A match

occurs if any of the characters within the range is present. See the example above.

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

Table 5.2: Special Characters for Regular Expressions (Continued)

Character Operation

| A vertical bar separates two alternative values or sets of values. The output can match one

or the other value.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains either “abc” or
“defg”:

abc|defg

( ) Parentheses allow you to create complex expressions.

For example, the following complex expression matches on “abc”, “abcabc”, or “defg”, but
not on “abcdefgdefg”:

((abc)+)|((defg)?)

If you want to filter for a special character instead of using the special character as described in the table above,

Installation Precautions and Warnings

Follow these precautions when installing a power supply in the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch.

WARNING: Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power Precautions” on page 3-3.

CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed

40o C (104o F).

CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the chassis.

Determining Which Power Supply Failed

If you are replacing a power supply that has failed and you are not sure which supply has failed, enter the following
command at any CLI command prompt:

This command displays status information for the power supplies and the fans. The power supplies are numbered
from left to right. These numbers assume you are facing the front of the device, not the rear.

If the display indicates “Installed (Failed)” for any of the slots, the power supply installed in that particular slot has
failed.

AC Power Supplies

Use the following procedures for AC power supplies in NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series devices.

You will need the following tool to perform this procedure:

• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver

2. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

3. If necessary, remove the power supply locking screw located in the left rear of the device.

4. Hold the bar on the front panel of the power supply and pull outward. This will disconnect the power supply
from the backplane.

5. Continue to pull the power supply until it is removed from the device.

6. Place the power supply in an anti-static bag for storage.

7. Insert a new supply, or place the cover plate over the empty power supply.

8. Replace the power supply locking screw.

Installing an AC Power Supply

To install an AC power supply, do the following:

1. If necessary, remove the power supply locking screw located on the upper right quadrant and the lower left
quadrant of the power supply (illustrated below).

2. If the empty power supply bay has a cover plate, remove the two screws near the edges of the cover plate to
unlock the plate, then remove the plate.

3. Remove the power supply from its packaging.

4. With one hand, hold the bar on the front panel of the power supply. With the other hand, support the
underside of the power supply, and insert the power supply into the empty power supply slot. Press until the
supply is completely in the slot, so that the connectors on the back of the supply are fully engaged with the
pins on the power backplane.

CAUTION: Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.

5. Insert the two locking screws near the edges of the supply and tighten to lock the supply in place.

6. Connect the power cord to the power supply.

7. Connect the plug end of the power cord into an outlet.

Verifying Proper Operation

To verify the proper operation of the power supply after power on, you can observe the LEDs on the power supply.

After the NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series devices device powers on, you can observe the LEDs on the front of
the device to verify that it initialized successfully. Table 6.1 outlines the LEDs, the desired state of each LED,
possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.

Bail Latch

Replacing a Fiber Optic Module

You can remove an SFP or XFP from a port and replace it with a new one while the NetIron CES and CER 2000
Series devices device is powered on and running.

This section provides information about the following tasks:

• Removing a fiber optic module

• Installing a new fiber optic module

• Cabling a fiber optic module

Removing a Fiber Optic Module

You can remove a fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC) or an XFP from a port while the NetIron CES 2000 device is
powered on and running.

Before removing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:

• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the NetIron CES 2000 device.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

• The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially installed the module.

To remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, do the following:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.

3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.

4. Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the
module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.

NOTE: The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.

5. Grasping the bail latch, pull the fiber optic module out of the port.

6. Store the fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.

7. Install a new fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task, see “Installing a New
Fiber Optic Module” .

6 - 6 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. March 2009

Maintaining the Hardware

Installing a New Fiber Optic Module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet
fiber port you want to use.

You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the NetIron CES 2000 device is powered on and running.

Before installing one of these modules into the port, obtain an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal
surface.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

To install a fiber optic module, do the following:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack) to act as ground.

2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to
prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a Fiber Optic Module

To cable a fiber optic module, do the following:

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the
port connectors. See “Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 6-7.

3. Gently insert the cable connector(s) (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector(s)
until the tabs lock into place.

4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.

WARNING: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-build­ing or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isola­tion from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to con­nect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and the fiber
cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and
reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the
optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner that shipped with
your NetIron CES and CER 2000 Series devices chassis. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the
following Website:

http://www.fisfiber.com/

When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

In most cases, this is all that will be required. If you are directed by the release notes to upgrade the Monitor or
Boot images, use the following procedures:

1. Upgrade the NetIron CES 2000 Series switches Monitor and Boot images.

Use the procedures described in “Upgrading the Device’s Monitor and Boot Images” on page 7-6.

2. Reboot the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch.

Displaying Flash Memory and Version Information

Prior to upgrading the images on a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch, it is advisable to check the versions already
installed. This allow you to determine which versions need to be upgraded. It is also useful to check the versions
installed immediately after an upgrade has been done to make sure that you have installed the versions required
in your installation. The following sections describe how to use the show flash and show version commands to
display this information.

the device’s flash memory.

Syntax: cp <original-file-name> <backup-file-name>

Virtual Interface Module

The NetIron CES 2000 Series switch features a virtual interface module. These commands open an rconsole
session with the virtual interface module in virtual slot 1, enter the Privileged EXEC level of the interface module's
CLI, and make a backup copy of the monitor file. Entering the two exit commands returns you to the Privileged
EXEC level of the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switches CLI.

Syntax: Ctrl-X"

Upgrading the Device’s Monitor and Boot Images

If you are upgrading, you should only upgrade the monitor and boot images as described in the relevant release
notes.

To upgrade a device’s monitor and boot images, perform the following steps:

1. Place the new monitor and boot images on a TFTP server to which the switch has access.

2. Copy the new monitor and boot images to the switch. Enter one of the following commands at the Privileged
EXEC level of the device’s CLI (example: NetIron#):

Table 7.4: Command Syntax for Upgrading Monitor and Boot Images

on the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch

Command Syntax Description

copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name>
monitor

copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name>
boot

For information about the image name to specify, see Table 7.1.

3. Verify that the new monitor and boot images have been successfully copied to flash or slot 1 or 2 by entering
one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

• show flash

• dir /<path-name>/

Check for the boot image, monitor image, and the date and time at which the new images were built.

4. If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If you
have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switch to
complete the upgrade process.

Copies the latest monitor image from the TFTP
server to flash.

Copies the latest boot image from the TFTP server
to flash.

Upgrading the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switches Multi-Service IronWare Image

To upgrade the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switches Multi-Service IronWare image (primary or secondary), you
must perform the following steps:

1. Copy the new Multi-Service IronWare image from the TFTP server to the code flash. To perform this step,
enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name> primary | secondary

For information about the image name to specify, see Table 7.1.

2. Verify that the new Multi-Service IronWare image has been successfully copied to the specified destination by
entering one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

• show flash (if the destination was code flash)

• dir /<path-name>/

7 - 6 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. March 2009

Upgrading Software Images and Configuration Files

Check for the primary or secondary image and the date and time that it was placed in the directory.

3. If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If you
have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the device to complete the upgrade
process.

Loading and Saving Configuration Files

For easy configuration management, the switch supports both the download and upload of configuration files
between the switch and a TFTP server on the network.

You can upload either the startup configuration file or the running configuration to the TFTP server, or code flash
and use in booting the system.

• Startup configuration file – This file (startup-config) contains the configuration information that is currently
saved in the NetIron CES 2000 Series Switches code flash. To display this file, enter the show configuration
command at any CLI prompt.

• Running configuration – This active configuration is in the system RAM but not yet saved to code flash.
These changes could represent a short-term requirement or general configuration change. To display this
configuration, enter the show running-config or write terminal command at any CLI prompt.

Each device can have one startup configuration file and one running configuration. The startup configuration file is
shared by both flash modules. The running configuration resides in DRAM.

Replacing the Startup Configuration with the Running Configuration

After you make configuration changes to the active system, you can save those changes by writing them to code
flash. When you write configuration changes to code flash, you replace the startup configuration with the running
configuration.

To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command at any Enable or
CONFIG command prompt:

NetIron# write memory

Replacing the Running Configuration with the Startup Configuration

If you haven’t yet executed a write memory command to overwrite the startup configuration with the running
configuration and you want to back out of the changes you have made to the running configuration and return to
the startup configuration, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

NetIron# reload

When the system detects differences between the running and startup configurations, it prompts you as follows:

Running Config data has been changed. Do you want to continue
the reload without saving the running config? (enter 'y' or 'n'):

Enter y, and press the Enter key

Copying a Configuration File To or From a TFTP Server

To copy the startup-config or running-config file to or from a TFTP server, use one of the following methods.

NOTE: You can name the configuration file when you copy it to a TFTP server. However, when you copy a
configuration file from the server to a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch, the file is always copied as “startup-config”
or “running-config”, depending on which type of file you saved to the server.

To initiate transfers of configuration files to or from a TFTP server, enter one of the following commands at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

• copy startup-config tftp <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to upload a copy of startup-config
from the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to a TFTP server.

March 2009 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 7 - 7

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

• copy running-config tftp <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to upload a copy of the running
configuration from the NetIron CES 2000 Series switch to a TFTP server.

• copy tftp startup-config <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to download a copy of the startup­config from a TFTP server to a switch.

• copy tftp running-config <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> [overwrite] – Use this command to download the
running configuration from the system’s runtime memory to a TFTP server. The running configuration is then
appended to the current configuration of a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch.

Making Local Copies of the Startup Configuration File

You can copy the startup-config file in code flash to a TFTP server or to a PCMCIA flash card inserted in a NetIron
CES 2000 Series Switches slot 1.

For example, to make a backup copy of the startup-config file and save the backup file to a TFTP server, enter a
command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level in the CLI:

NetIron# copy startup-config tftp 10.28.40.21 startup-config.bak

Syntax: copy startup-config tftp <ip-address> <dest-file-name>

The <ip-address> variable specifies the IP address of the TFTP server that you want to save the startup
configuration to.

The <dest-file-name> specifies the name of the file you copied to a new destination.

Dynamic Configuration Loading

You can load dynamic configuration commands (commands that do not require a reload to take effect) from a file
on a TFTP server into the switch’s running-config. You can make configuration changes off-line, then load the
changes directly into the device’s running-config, without reloading the software.

Usage Considerations

• Use this feature only to load configuration information that does not require a software reload to take effect.
For example, you cannot use this feature to change statically configured memory (system-max command).

• Do not load port configuration information for secondary ports in a trunk group. Since all ports in a trunk group
use the port configuration settings of the primary port in the group, the software cannot implement the
changes to the secondary port.

Preparing the Configuration File

A configuration file that you create must follow the same syntax rules as the startup-config file the device creates.

• The configuration file is a script containing CLI configuration commands. The CLI reacts to each command
entered from the file in the same way the CLI reacts to the command if you enter it. For example, if the
command results in an error message or a change to the CLI configuration level, the software responds by
displaying the message or changing the CLI level.

• The software retains the running-config that is currently on the device, and changes the running-config only
by adding new commands from the configuration file. If the running config already contains a command that is
also in the configuration file you are loading, the CLI rejects the new command as a duplicate and displays an
error message. For example, if the running-config already contains a command that configures ACL 1, the
software rejects ACL 1 in the configuration file, and displays a message that ACL 1 is already configured.

• The file can contain global CONFIG commands or configuration commands for interfaces, routing protocols,
and so on. You cannot enter User EXEC or Privileged EXEC commands.

• The default CLI configuration level in a configuration file is the global CONFIG level. Thus, the first command
in the file must be a global CONFIG command or “ ! ”. The ! (exclamation point) character means “return to
the global CONFIG level”.

7 - 8 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. March 2009

Upgrading Software Images and Configuration Files

NOTE: You can enter text following “ ! “ as a comment. However, the “ !” is not a comment marker. It returns

the CLI to the global configuration level.

NOTE: The CLI changes to the global CONFIG level if you load the configuration as a startup-config file
instead of the running-config (using the copy tftp startup-config <ip-addr> <filename> command or ncopy

tftp <ip-addr> <from-name> startup-config command).

NOTE: If you copy-and-paste a configuration into a management session, the CLI ignores the “ ! “ instead of

changing the CLI to the global CONFIG level. As a result, you might get different results if you copy-and-paste
a configuration instead of loading the configuration using TFTP.

• Make sure you enter each command at the correct CLI level. Since some commands have identical forms at
both the global CONFIG level and individual configuration levels, if the CLI’s response to the configuration file
results in the CLI entering a configuration level you did not intend, then you can get unexpected results.

For example, if a trunk group is active on the device, and the configuration file contains a command to disable
STP on one of the secondary ports in the trunk group, the CLI rejects the commands to enter the interface
configuration level for the port and moves on to the next command in the file you are loading. If the next
command is a spanning-tree command whose syntax is valid at the global CONFIG level as well as the
interface configuration level, then the software applies the command globally. Here is an example:

The configuration file contains these commands:

interface ethernet1/2
no spanning-tree

The CLI responds like this:

NetIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
Error - cannot configure secondary ports of a trunk
NetIron(config)# no spanning-tree
NetIron(config)#

• If the file contains commands that must be entered in a specific order, the commands must appear in the file
in the required order. For example, if you want to use the file to replace an IP address on an interface, you
must first remove the old address using “no” in front of the ip address command, then add the new address.
Otherwise, the CLI displays an error message and does not implement the command. Here is an example:

The configuration file contains these commands:

interface ethernet 1/1
ip address 10.10.10.1/24

The running-config already has a command to add an address to 1/1, so the CLI responds like this:

NetIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
NetIron(config-if-e1000-1/1)# ip add 10.10.10.69/24
Error: can only assign one primary ip address per subnet
NetIron(config-if-e1000-1/1)#

To successfully replace the address, enter commands into the file as follows:

interface ethernet 1/1
no ip address 10.10.10.1/24
ip address 10.10.10.69/24

This time, the CLI accepts the command, and no error message is displayed:

NetIron(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
NetIron(config-if-e1000-1/1)# no ip add 10.10.10.1/24
NetIron(config-if-e1000-1/1)# ip add 10.10.10.69/24

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

NetIron-if-e1000-1/1)

• Always use the end command at the end of the file. The end command must appear on the last line of the file,
by itself.

Loading the Configuration Information Into the Running-Config

You can load the configuration information from a TFTP server. To load the file from a TFTP server, use either of
the following commands:

• copy tftp running-config <ip-addr> <filename> [overwrite]

• ncopy tftp <ip-addr> <filename> running-config

Using SNMP to Save and Load Configuration Information

You can use an SNMP management application such as Brocade's IronView Network Manager or any third-party
SNMP management application to save and load a NetIron CES 2000 Series switch's configuration. To save and
load configuration information using such an SNMP management application, use the following procedure.

1. Enable the SNMP agent on the switch using the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

snmp-server

2. On the switch, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

no snmp-server pw-check

This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. If a third-party SNMP management
application does not add a password to the password field when it sends SNMP set requests to a Foundry
device, by default the Foundry device rejects the request.

3. From a management station, send the following SNMP PDU to the agent:

SnmpSet (1.3.6.1.4.1.1191.1.1.2.1.5.0 = <TFTP IP address>

1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.8.0 = <config-file-name>

1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.9.0 = <command-integer>

where:

<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server’s IP address.

<config-file-name> is the configuration file name.

<command-integer> is one of the following:

20 – Upload the startup-config file from the Foundry device’s code flash to the TFTP server.

21 – Download a startup-config file from a TFTP server to the Foundry device’s code flash.

22 – Upload the running-config from the Foundry device’s code flash to the TFTP server.

23 – Download a configuration file from a TFTP server into the Foundry device’s running-config.

30 – Download the config to DRAM from a TFTP server, clear the running-running config, and overwrite
with the new config.

7 - 10 © 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. March 2009

Upgrading Software Images and Configuration Files

NOTE: Command option 23 adds configuration information to the running-config on the device, and does

not replace commands. If you want to replace configuration information in the device, use “no” forms of the
configuration commands to remove the configuration information, then use configuration commands to create
the configuration information you want. Command option 30 erases the entire running-config and replaces it
with the new configuration file.

Erasing Image and Configuration Files

To erase software images or configuration files, use the commands described below. These commands are valid
at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

• erase flash primary erases the image stored in primary flash of the system.

• erase flash secondary erases the image stored in secondary flash of the system.

• erase startup-config erases the configuration stored in the startup configuration file; however, the running
configuration remains intact until system reboot.

Scheduling a System Reload

In addition to reloading the switch manually, you can configure the system to reload itself at a specific time or after
a specific amount of time has passed.

NOTE: The scheduled reload feature requires the system clock. You can use a Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server to set the clock or you can set the device clock manually.

Reloading at a Specific Time

To schedule a system reload for a specific time, use one of the following methods.

To schedule a system reload from the primary flash module for 6:00:00 AM, January 19, 2006, enter the following
command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

NetIron# reload at 06:00:00 01-19-06

Syntax: reload at <hh:mm:ss> <mm-dd-yy> [primary | secondary]

<hh:mm:ss> is the hours, minutes, and seconds.

<mm-dd-yy> is the month, day, and year.

primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash module or the
secondary code flash module. The default is primary.

Reloading After a Specific Amount of Time

To schedule a system reload to occur after a specific amount of time has passed on the system clock, use one of
the following methods.

To schedule a system reload from the secondary flash one day and 12 hours later, enter the following command at
the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

NetIron# reload after 01:12:00 secondary

Syntax: reload after <dd:hh:mm> [primary | secondary]

<dd:hh:mm> is the number of days, hours, and minutes.

primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash image or the secondary
code flash image.

Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the NetIron CES 2000 Series

CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current

protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the
ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device.
Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings
are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

VORSICHT: Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät

überbelastet werden. Addieren Sie die Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte,
die am selben Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie feststellen,
ob die Gefahr einer Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen
Sie diese Summe mit der Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme
(in Ampere) stehen normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben den
Eingangsstromanschlüssen.

MISE EN GARDE: Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation,

le câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des
circuits d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les
dispositifs installés sur le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors
ce total avec la limite de charge du circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères
est généralement imprimée sur chaque dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée
d'alimentation.

PRECAUCIÓN: Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la

protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los
circuitos de suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de
todos los instrumentos instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare
esta suma con el límite nominal para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de
corriente máximas están generalmente impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los
conectores de corriente de entrada.

CAUTION All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access

areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service
personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security,
