Overview

Introduction

MSR 30 Routers were self-developed by our company for use on enterprise-level networks. Depending on the network size, MSR 30 Routers can be either core routers on small and medium enterprise networks, or access routers for network branches on some large-sized enterprise networks. Therefore, MSR 30 Routers are suitable for the application on the carrier-level networks, such as telecom management networks and billing networks. MSR 30 Routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional smart interface cards (SICs) and multi-function interface modules (MIMs). The MSR 30-16 can adopt AC and PoE, and the MSR 30-20, 30-40 and 30-60 can adopt AC, DC, and PoE.

Except the MSR 30-11 and the AC-powered MSR 30-16, the MSR 30 routers each provide a redundancy power system (RPS) interface to enhance the routers’ reliability. The PoE-powered routers can remotely supply power to its powered devices (PDs).

MSR 30 include these models:

• MSR 30-10

• MSR 30-11

• MSR 30-11E

• MSR 30-11F

• MSR 30-16

• MSR 30-20

• MSR 30-40

• MSR 30-60

Generic Modules

The MSR 30 Routers support generic modules SIC and MIM. For details about the interface cards, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

For the types of interface modules that each model of the MSR 30 routers can accommodate, refer to

Appendix A Interface Card and Interface Module Purchase Guide in the MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

SIC/DSIC Cards

MSR 30 routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional SIC/DSIC cards that provide various interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet interface, E1/T1, ISDN BRI/PRI, ADSL, audio interface, and Layer 2 switching interface.

SIC cards mainly differ from DSIC cards in that a SIC card occupies one ordinary SIC slot while a DSIC card occupies two (horizontal) SIC slots. You need to remove the slide rails from the router before installing a DSIC card.

NOTE:

A PoE-capable interface card can supply power remotely only when it is installed in a PoE router. If it is installed in a non-PoE router, it serves as an ordinary switching module only.

For the MSR 30-16, SIC/DSIC cards are subject to the following limitations:

• SIC-4FSW/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I can be installed only in slot 2 or slot 4.

• SIC-2BS/2BU/2BSV can be installed only in slot 1 or slot 3.

For the MSR 30-20/40/60, SIC/DSIC cards are subject to the following limitations:

• SIC-4FSW/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I can be installed only in slot 2 or slot 4.

MIM/DMIM Cards

MSR 30 routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional MIM/DMIM cards that provide various interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet interface, E1/T1 interface, ISDN BRI/PRI interface, ADSL interface, audio interface, and Layer 2 switching interface.

MIM cards, DMIM cards, mainly differ in the following aspects:

A MIM card occupies one ordinary MIM slot, while a DMIM card occupies two ordinary (horizontal) MIM slots. You need to remove the slide rails from the router before installing a DMIM card.

ESM

• High-performance network data encryption ESM module (ESM-ANDE)

• Standard network data encryption ESM module (ESM-SNDE)

ESM module supports IPSec and by using hardware encryption expedites IP packet encryption. The use of hardware encryption/decryption and hashing operation allows the router to encrypt packets with high performance and reliability.

The encryption card is optional. On a router installed with an encryption card, the main control board functions to route IP packets and implement encryption-enabled VPN, while the encryption card functions to encrypt packets.

Installation Preparations

Requirements on Environment

The MSR 30 routers are designed for indoor applications. To ensure the normal operation and prolong their service life, the following requirements for installation site must be met.

Requirements on Temperature/Humidity

To ensure the normal operation and prolong their service life, certain requirements on temperature and humidity in the equipment room shall be met. If the relative humidity is too high, the insulation materials in it will deteriorate easily or even lead to electric leakage. Sometimes this will result in change to the mechanical performance of the materials and rusting of the metal components. If the relative humidity is too low, the fastening screw will become loosen due to shrinkage of the isolation spacer. In an environment with dry climate, static electricity may be produced, putting the CMOS of the router to risk. High temperature is of the greatest risk: for it will significantly degrade the router’s reliability, speed up aging process of the insulating materials, and shorten the service life of the router.

The requirements on the temperature and humidity for MSR 30 are shown in the following table:

Table 17 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room

Temperature Relative humidity

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) 5% to 90% (noncondensing)

Requirements on Cleanness

Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result in static absorption, t hus causing poor contact of the metal connection components or points. Especially under the condition of low indoor humidity, dust is easier to be absorbed.

The requirements on the dust concentration and diameter of MSR 30 Routers are shown in the following table:

Table 18 Limitation on dust content in equipment room

Diameter (μm) 0.5 1 3 5

Concentration (particle/m³) 1.4 × 10

Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the Router should also meet the rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and aging process of some parts. The specific limits of these harmful gases as SO NH

and CI2 are given in the following table.

Requirements on Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

Although many antistatic considerations have been given to MSR 30 Routers, damage to the router’s circuit or even the whole equipment may still happen when the static electricity exceeds the tolerance threshold.

In the communication network to which the routers are connected, static induction mainly comes from two aspects: external electric fields such as outdoor high voltage power line or thunder and internal environment like flooring materials or the whole equipment structure. Thus, the following should be considered to safeguard the equipment against the ESD:

• Make sure that the equipment and the floor are well grounded.

• The equipment room is dust-proof.

• Maintain an appropriate humidity and temperature.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when contacting the circuit board.

• Place the uninstalled circuit board on the antistatic workbench, with its face upward, or put it into

the static shielding bag.

• When observing or removing the uninstalled circuit board, please touch the edge of the circuit

board, and avoid contacting the devices on it.

Requirements on Electromagnetic Environments

The interference sources, no matter where they come from, affect the routers with capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, radiation of electromagnetic wave, common impedance (including the grounding system) or conducting line (power line, signal line and transmission line etc.). So the following should be considered:

• Take effective measures to prevent the power system from being interfered with by the power grid

system.

• Use an earthing system or lightning protection grounding different from that for the power supply

equipment and keep them as far as possible.

• Keep the router far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and high-frequency devices

working in high current.

• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Requirements on Preventing Lightning

Although many measures have been taken to protect MSR 30 from lightning, if the lightning intensity exceeds a certain range, damage to the router may still happen. To protect the router from lightning better, the following should be considered:

• Ensure the PGND wire of the chassis is well grounded.

• Ensure the ground point of the socket of AC power supply is well grounded.

• To enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply, a lightning arrester could be

installed at the input end of the power supply.

• As for the signal line outdoors to which the interface modules of MSR 30 routers are connected,

such as ISDN line, telephone line, E1/T1 line, etc, a special lightning arrester should be installed at the input end of the signal line to enhance the lightning protection capability.

Requirements on Workbench

When installing MSR 30 Routers, observe the following:

• There is spacing reserved at the air inlet and outlet in the router so as to facilitate the radiation of

the router cabinet.

• Make sure that the rack has a good ventilation system.

• Make sure that the rack is sturdy enough to support the weight of the device and the installation

accessories.

• Make sure that the rack is well-grounded.

Safety Precautions

When reading this manual, pay attention to the following:

WARNING: indicates that this operation is incorrect and may seriously damage the router or

endanger the operator. Please follow the correct operation procedures for sake of safety.

CAUTION: indicates that during the installation and usage of the router, the operation needs

attention. If this operation is performed incorrectly, it might affect the operation of the router.

When installing or working on the router, you are recommended to:

• Keep the router far away from the heat sources and water/liquid.

• Make sure that the router has been correctly grounded.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap in installation and maintenance, making sure that the strap has

good skin contact.

• Do not hot swap the interface modules and interface cards of the router.

• Do not hot swap any cable.

• Correctly connect the interface cable for the router. Do not connect the telephone cable (including

the ISDN cable) to the AUX port or the console port.

• Use laser with caution. Do not directly stare into apertures or fiber-optic connectors that emit laser

radiation.

• Adopt uninterrupted power supply (UPS).

Install the router after you have completed the installation preparations. The router can be installed:

• On a workbench

• In a cabinet

Physical dimension (H × W × D) (excluding feet and mounting brackets)

Installing the Router on a Workbench

In many circumstances, you may not own a 19-inch standard rack. Usually, the router will be installed on a clean workbench. The operations are very simple, but still, you should be aware of the following items:

• Ensure the stability and well-grounding of the workbench.

• Leave a space of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the router for heat dissipation.

• Do not place heavy objects on the router to avoid extruding the device and affecting heat

dissipation performance.

Installing the Router in a Cabinet

You can install an MSR 30 router in a 19-inch standard cabinet, such as an H3C N68 rack. For the installation of an N68 rack, refer to N68 Cabinet Installation Guide.

Do not place heavy objects on the router to avoid extruding the device and affecting heat dissipation performance.

Installation process

Step1 Check the grounding and stability of the rack. Use the screws to fix the mounting ears at both sides of the

front panel or the rear panel of the router.

Step2 Put the router in a rack tray. For MSR 30-16/30 -20 routers, use mounting ears on the rear panel if no tray

is available. Depending on the actual situation, slide the router along the chassis guides to an appropriate place.

Step3 Fasten the mounting ears with the recess screws to fix the router in the rack horizontally and firmly. The

specifications of recess screws should satisfy the installation requirements and the surface of the screws should be anti-rust.

Installing Generic Modules

Installing generic modules includes installing the memory, ESM cards, and FICs. For more information about the memory and ESM cards and their installation, refer to Chapter 6 “Hardware Maintenance” in this manual. For more information about FICs and their installation, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

Connecting the PGND

WARNING!

The normal connection of the protection ground (PGND) on the router chassis is an essential safeguard against the lightning shocks and interference. You must correctly connect the PGND when installing or using the router.

As shown in the following figure, the router provides a protection ground (PGND) screw at the top right -rear of the chassis. You must securely connect it to the earth ground to safely channel faradic current and leakage electricity to the ground and have the device less susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI).This PGND wire can also protect the router against the lightning caused by the connection with the external network lines, such as E1/T1 line, ISDN/PSTN line.

NOTE:

The MSR 30-1X provide grounding terminals only. You need to purchase PGND cables as needed.

The grounding screw of MSR 30 Router, which is marked with grounding label, is located near the AC power socket and its switch on the rear panel of the chassis, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 23 Grounding terminal of the router

Use a PGND wire to connect the screw to the earth ground, and the grounding resistance should not be greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the router is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to be grounded too.

WARNING!

When the router is in normal operation, it is required to be well reliably avoid lightning, which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.

AC power socket (recommended)

You are recommended to use a three-terminal single-phase power socket with ground contact, which must be grounded reliably. Normally, the ground contact of the power supply system in a building was buried during construction and cabling. Still, before connecting the AC-input power cord, you must make sure that the power supply of the building is well grounded.

Connecting the AC-input power cord

Step1 Make sure that the PGND is securely connected to the earth ground. Step2 Insert one end of the power cord accompanying the router into the power socket on the chassis rear

panel, and fix the cable onto the cable-retention clip with a cable strap. Connect the other end of the cable to an AC power source at your installation site.

Step3 Place the power switch of the router to the ON position. Step4 Check that the PWR LED on the front panel of the router is on for correct connection.

Connecting the DC Power Cord

Step1 Make sure that the PGND is properly grounded to the earth. Step2 Insert one end of the DC power cord accompanying the router into the power socket on the chassis rear

panel. Then connect the other end of the power cord (with a PGND connector and a –48 VDC connector) to a –48 VDC power supply.

WARNING!

When connecting the DC power cord, notice the labels on the power cord to avoid wrong connection.

Step3 Check the POWER LED on the front panel of the router. ON indicates correct connection.

Connecting the RPS Power Cord

All models of the MSR 30-20/30-40/30-60 and the PoE model of the MSR 30-16 offer remote power supply (RPS) support. As an external power supply, RPS can provide power supply for the device in case of power module abnormality. It enhances the reliability of the device. Follow these steps to install the RPS power cord:

Figure 27 Prize the protective barrier of RPS

Figure 28 Take the protective barrier of RPS

Figure 29 Connect the RPS cable

NOTE:

• The MSR 30-1X do not support RPS.

• The MSR 30-16 PoE model and the MSR 30-20 use a label to cover the RPS power interface, while the

MSR 30-40 and MSR 30-60 use a protective barrier to cover it. Both methods can effectively protect the RPS power interface.

Connecting the Console Terminal

Console port

MSR 30 provides an RS232 asynchronous serial console (CON) port for router configuration, through which you can complete the configuration of the router. For its attributes, refer to the following table:

Ethernet cable

1. Electrical Ethernet interface cable

Ethernet interfaces usually use category 5 twisted pair cables, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 31 Ethernet cable

RJ-45

MDI/MDIX autosensing

Ethernet_II

Ethernet_SNAP

10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing (10/100 Mbps autosensing for FEs)

Full duplex/half duplex

Ethernet cables fit into the following two categories:

NOTE:

• Standard cable, also called straight-through cable, at both ends of which, wires are crimped in the

RJ-45 connectors in the same sequence. The cable connects different categories of devices, such as a terminal device (PC for example) or router to a Hub or LAN switch. The cable accompanying the router is straight-through cable.

• Crossover cable, at both ends of which, wires are crimped in the RJ-45 connectors in different

sequences. The cable connects the same category of devices, such as PC to PC or PC to router. You can make crossover cables yourself as needed.

In making network cables, shielded cables are preferred for electromagnetic compatibility sake.

2. Optical Ethernet interface cable

For the 10/100/1000 Mbps optical Ethernet interfaces, select single mode or multi-mode optical fibers depending on the type of the installed 1000Base-X SFP modules. As the interfaces that these SFP modules provide use LC-type optical connectors, you must use fibers with LC-type connectors for them. All these SFP modules are hot swappable.

SFP modules are optional. They are provided only when ordered.

Connecting the Ethernet cable

NOTE:

For 10/100/1000 Mbps fiber and electrical interface, the system considers the electrical interface as the operating interface by default. Users can use the combo enable command to switch between them in interface view.

1. Connect an electrical Ethernet interface cable.

Follow the steps below to connect an Ethernet cable:

Step1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the router and the other end to another

device.

• For a 10/100 Mbps port provided by the RPU, connect it to a PC or another router using a crossover

cable or to a Hub or LAN switch using a straight-through cable.

• For a 10/100/1000 Mbps port provided by the RPU, connect it to a PC or another router using a

crossover cable or to a Hub or LAN switch using a straight-through cable.

Step2 View the LINK LED of the Ethernet interface: ON means a link is present and OFF means no link is

present. Check the line for the cause.

2. Connect an optical Ethernet interface cable

CAUTION:

In connecting optical fibers, observe the following:

• Do not over-bend the fiber. Its curvature radius must be greater than 10 cm (3.9 in.).

• Ensure that the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.

• Ensure that the fiber ends are clean.

WARNING!

Laser danger: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the optical ports which are connected with lasers. To protect your eyes against radiation harm, never stare into an open optical port.

Follow these steps to connect a fiber to a 10/100/1000 Mbps optical interface:

Step1 Use two fibers to connect the Rx and Tx ends of the interface to another device: Rx to Tx, and Tx to Rx. Step2 View the LINK LED of the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface: ON means a link is present. OFF

means no Rx link is present; check the line for the cause.

Connecting AUX to a Modem

AUX port

AUX is an RS232 asynchronous serial interface, which can back up a WAN interface and provide dial connection. In case of console failure, AUX can function as a console interface.

NOTE:

The console port and AUX port on an MSR 30-1X share the same physical port.

AUX cable

AUX cable is an eight-wire shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector for connecting the console port on the router. At the other end are DB-9 (male) connector and DB-25 (male) connector. You can plug either of them into the serial port on a modem as needed.

Figure 32 AUX cable

Connecting the AUX cable

Follow these steps to connect the AUX cable.

Step1 Plug the RJ-45 connector of the cable into the AUX port on the main board. Step2 Plug the DB-25 or DB-9 connector into the serial port on the analog modem.

When using the AUX interface for remote configuration or dial backup, you need to connect the local modem to the remote modem through PSTN and then to the remote device. For the configuration procedures, refer to MSR Series Routers Configuration Guide.

Interface Cards and Interface Modules

The MSR 30 routers support various types of interface cards and modules. For detailed information, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

Installing and Removing Interface Modules

With support for removable slide rails, the MSR 30 routers deliver great flexibility and expandability by applying DSIC/DMIM/XMIM interface cards. Slide rails are installed in slots and can be removed for the installation of these interface cards.

CAUTION:

• Keep the removed slide rails for future use.

• Make sure the device is disconnected from the power supply before installin

Figure 39 Draw the left MIM slide rail out of the slot

Figure 40 Draw the right MIM slide rail out of the slot

Figure 41 Install the interface card and fix it

The example shown above illustrates how to install a DMIM interface card. For the installation of a DSIC card however, only one slide rail needs to be removed, with other steps the same as those of the installation of a DMIM card.

Removing a DSIC/DMIM Interface Card

After rem ovi ng a DSI C/DM IM card or when inst alli ng two SIC/M IM ca rds, you need to inst all a slide rail, which divides a DSIC/DMIM slot into two SIC/MIM slots. Removal is in the reverse order of installation.

Follow these steps to remove a DSIC/DMIM card:

Step1 Loosen the screws on the interface card and remove the card. Step2 Insert a slide rail into the slot and fasten the captive screws on the slide rail. Step3 Install a blank panel if no cards are to be installed in the slot.

Installing an XMIM Interface Card

Follow these steps to install an XMIM interface card:

Figure 42 Remove the slide rail

Removing an XMIM Interface Card

After removing an XMIM card or when installing two MIM cards, you need to install a slide rail, which then forms a MIM slot. Removal is in the reverse order of installation.

Follow these steps to remove a DSIC/DMIM card:

CAUTION:

• The design of demountable slide rail greatly facilitates users to extend their services. The slide rail is fixed

on chassis through special structure. When you need to install a DMIM, you only need to uninstall the rail and install the module. The rail may deviate out of external force when you install a DMIM, thus the DMIM on the other side cannot be installed normally. You can ri

ht the rail manually and then install the

DMIM normally.

• When installin

a DMIM, it is recommended that you fasten the release screw first and then install the

DMIM on the other side of the rail.

• The 30-20/30-40/30-60 supports DSIC interface cards, the MSR 30-10/30-11 supports XMIM, and

the MSR 30-40/30-60 supports DMIM.

Verifying Installation

During router installation, you must verify installation each time you power on the router, making sure that:

• There is enough space around the router for heat-dissipation and the workbench is stable enough.

• The power supply that the power cord connects to is compliant with that required by the router.

• The PGND wire of the router is correctly connected.

• The router is correctly connected to the console terminal and other devices.

CAUTION:

The check after installation is very important. The stability, directly affect the operation of the router.

Configuration Fundamentals

In general, the configuration steps are as follows:

Step1 Before configuring the router, the networking requirements should be made specific, which include

networking purpose, the role of the router in the network, the division of subnets, WAN type and transmission medium, the network security policy and reliability.

Step2 Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram. Step3 Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, configure the physical operating parameters (e.g., the

operating mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, the user also needs to configure DCC parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating parameters according to the WAN type.

Step4 Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the

division of the subnets.

Step5 Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user should configure

the related operating parameters of the protocol.

Step6 If special security is required, perform the security configuration for the router. Step7 If special reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router.

Please see MSR Series Routers Configuration Guide for the configuration details of the protocols or functions of the router.

Basic Configuration Procedures

Command Line Interface

Characteristics of the command line interface

The command line interface of MSR 30 Routers provides a number of configuration commands, which can be used to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following characteristics:

• Local configuration through Console port

• Performs the local or remote configuration through the telnet command, which can be used to

directly log on and manage other routers.

• Users can enter ? anytime to get online help.

• Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of

the network.

• Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.

• The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. If the user

enters the conflict-free keyword for a command, the command will be interpreted accordingly. For example, for a display command, the user can just enter dis.

Command line interface

The command line interface of MSR 30 routers provides plenty of configuration commands. Hierarchical user protection is adopted to prevent unauthorized users from illegal invading. Each group corresponds to a view. The user can use these commands to switch between different configuration views. In general, only certain commands can be executed under a particular view. But some common commands (such as ping and display current-configuration) can be executed in any view.

Arranging Slots and Numbering Interfaces

Slot arrangement

The MSR 30 provide many types of interfaces, such as console, AUX, Ethernet, serial (synchronous/asynchronous), and asynchronous port. The following figures describe how these interfaces are numbered.

Interface numbering

The MSR 30 Router interface adopts “two dimension” numbering rules, shown in the following:

• The interfaces are represented by interface-type X/Y, where interface-type can be serial,

asynchronous, ethernet or ATM, and so on; X specifies the slot number; Y specifies the interface number.

• Different interfaces on an interface module share the same slot number X.

• For every interface, Y starts from 0 and indicates the interface sequence on the interface module,

from left to right.

If you install a MIM-1FE and an MIM-2FE respectively in slot 5 and slot 6 on the MSR 30-20, the Ethernet interfaces are numbered as follows:

• Fixed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are GigabitEthernet 0/0 and GigabitEthernet 0/1;

• The Ethernet interface on the FIC-1FE is Ethernet 5/0;

• The Ethernet interfaces on FIC-2FE are Ethernet 6/0 and Ethernet 6/1.

Software Maintenance

Introduction

Files

BootWare program file

The file is stored in the flash memory to boot an application. A complete BootWare file includes two segments: basic and extended.

• The basic section is used for the basic initialization of the system.

• The extended section provides abundant human-computer interaction (HCI) functions and is used to

initialize interfaces and update the applications and the boot system.

• After the basic section is loaded, you can load and update the extended section through the menu

of the basic section.

Application files

The router is available with Dual Image function. By default, the system defines and attempts to boot in order with three boot files: main, backup, and secure, provided they are available with CF card. If the router fails to boot with the secure boot file, it prompts the boot failure. For more information about the boot files, refer to

The following table gives default names and types of boot files.

Table 25 Default names and types of the boot files

Maintaining Application and Configuration Files on page 68.

rams for system boot can be type M, B and S, but not type N. You can store them

e the file type of another file to B, the M+B file becomes a type M file.

• Secure boot file is the last resort for system boot. You can download it in the BootWare menu and mus

name it secure.bin. However, you cannot modify this file or change the type of another file to S. If you change the name of the secure boot file with the rename command after the system boots, the file is removed from CF card. To use the secure boot file after that, you need to download it again.

• You can store type M, B, S files in storage media, but only one for each type in each storage medium.

For example, if a type M+B file exists in the Flash memor y, there will be no type M or B file. If you chan the type of a file to B, the M+B file will become a type M file.

Configuration file

The file stores configuration information of the router.

By default, the system defines three configuration files for booting: main, backup, and default file. If the three configuration files are loaded in a storage medium, the system selects them in sequence until the router is successfully loaded. To change the sequence of these configuration files or modify them, refer to

Maintaining Application and Configuration Files on page 68.

The details about the three configuration files and file selection sequence are as follows:

• Main configuration file: The configuration file used for booting by default. The file type is M.

• Backup configuration file: The file type is B. The system uses the backup configuration file when it

fails to boot using the main configuration file.

• Default configuration file: The file type can be M, B, or N. The system uses the default configuration

file when it fails to boot using the backup configuration file. If the system fails to boot using the default configuration file, it boots with null configuration. The name of the default configuration file varies with router brands. The main and backup configuration operations on the default configuration file are the same as those on common configuration files.

NOTE:

• The configuration files for system boot can be type M, B and default configuration file of type N, but no

non-default configuration file of type N (i.e. neither M nor B).

• You can modify the file name of a configuration file in a storage medium using the command after the

configuration file is loaded. You cannot modify the type of the default configuration file, but you can modify the file type of type M/B and N configuration files in the BootWare menu or usin after the configuration file is loaded.

CAUTION:

• The file name cannot be longer than 64 characters (including drive letter and a string terminator. If the

drive letter is “CFA0: /”, the file name can be at most [ 64-1-6 ] = 57 characters in len occur in file operation. Typically, the file name is recommended to be not more than 16 characters.

• The extension ASCII characters (ASCII>=128) and invisible characters (ASCII<33) cannot be included in

the file name.

• The following characters cannot be included in the file name: ”, ‘, ?, \, space, *, |, <, /, :, >, ~.

• The character “.” can be included in the file name, but cannot be the first or last character of the file

name. Two consecutive “.”s are not allowed.

Software Maintenance Methods

• Upgrade BootWare and an application using the XModem protocol through a serial port.

• Upgrade an application from a TFTP/FTP server through an Ethernet interface in BootWare.

Maintaining Application Program and Configuration Through Command Lines

After the router is booted, you can upgrade and back up an application program, and back up and restore configurations through command lines.

Maintaining the Router Through TFTP Server

In the TFTP service, the router is TFTP client and the file server is the TFTP server. You can enter commands on the terminal to upload or download configuration files or application programs to or from the file server.

Setting up a configuration environment

Step1 Set up a hardware environment (refer to Upgrading an Application Program Through an Ethernet

Interface on page

Figure 54 Network diagram for maintenance through command lines

60 for details), and point the server path to the directory where the file is stored.

Step2 Configure the IP addresses of both sides on the same network. For example, the IP address of the TFTP

ser ver is set to 192.168.0.1, and that of the Ethernet interface connected to it (GigabitEthernet 0/0 in this example) is set to 192.168.0.2. Use the ping command to check whether the connection successful.

Backing up and restoring application programs and configuration files

After setting up the environment, perform the following operations on the console terminal:

Step1 Use the dir command to view the files in the current file system:

CAUTION:

• When you back up a file, the file will directly overwrite the one with the same name on the server.

• The above operations are performed in user view.

• The backup configuration file can be modified by a text editor. You can change the configuration by

downloading the modified configuration file and the modification takes effect after you reboot the router. Similarly, you can also up

rade the main application file by downloading a new application file

to overwrite the original main application file.

• The above operations are performed in user view.

• Before upgrading an application, save the current configuration of the device.

• When upgrading an application, use the dir command to view the size of the downloaded file and

whether the file is the same as that on the server to ensure that the application is complete and correct.

Maintaining the Router Through FTP Server

Maintaining the router serving as the FTP server

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application-layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is mainly used for file transfer between remote hosts. Over TCP, FTP provides reliable and connection-oriented data transfer service, but does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism.

In the FTP service, the router can serve as the FTP server. You can run the FTP client to log in to the router access files on the router.

Before using FTP, you need to install the FTP client. No FTP client is shipped with the MSR 30 routers. In the following example, the FTP client application program is the built-in Windows XP FTP client.

Step1 Set up a hardware maintenance environment, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 55 Maintain the router serving as the server

Router

TFTP/FTP Server

Console cable

Ethernet cable

TFTP/FTP Client

Configure the IP addresses of both sides on the same network. In this section, the IP address of the FTP client (PC) is set to 192.168.1.1, and that of the connected Ethernet interface on the router (Ethernet 0/0) is set to 192.168.1.2. Use the ping command to check the connectivity.

Step2 Enable the FTP service.

After configuring authentication and authorization, you can enable the FTP service. The FTP server supports multi-user access. Upon receiving the request from a remote FTP client, the FTP server executes an action accordingly and returns the execution result to the client. Use the following command to enable the FTP service:

[SYSTEM]ftp server enable

% Start FTP server

Add an authorized username and password:

[SYSTEM]local-user guest

[SYSTEM-luser- guest]service-type ftp

[SYSTEM-luser- guest]password simple 123456

Step3 Maintain the router.

After enabling the FTP service and configuring the username and password, you can enable the FTP client on the PC. In the following example, the FTP client application program is the built-in Windows XP FTP client.

Type ftp in the DOS window, and the system prompt is changed to ftp>:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ftp

ftp>

ftp> open 192.168.1.2

Connected to 192.168.1.2.

220 FTP service ready.

User (192.168.0.2:(none)): guest

331 Password required for guest

Password:

230 User logged in.

After you correctly enter the username and password, the system prompts login success. You can then maintain the router, for example, modify transmission mode and local path, and back up files. In this example, the main.bin file on the router is copied to the PC.

ftp> binary

200 Type set to I.

ftp> lcd c:\temp

Local directory now C:\temp.

ftp> get main.bin main.bin

200 Port command okay.

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for main.bin.

226 Transfer complete.

ftp: 14323376 bytes received in 16.81Seconds 851.87Kbytes/sec.

Use the following command to recover the backup file to the router:

ftp> put main.bin main.bin

200 Port command okay.

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for main.bin.

226 Transfer complete.

ftp: 14323376 bytes sent in 8.29Seconds 1727.37Kbytes/sec.

ftp> quit

221 Server closing.

Maintaining the router serving as a client

You can also maintain the router file system by setting up an FTP environment where the router serves as an FTP client.

Step1 Set up a maintenance environment.

Figure 56 Maintain the router serving as a client

The router serves as the client, while the PC running FTP server program serves as the FTP server. Set the FTP server path and add username and password for the router.

Configure the IP addresses of both sides on the same network. In this section, the IP address of the FTP server is set to 192.168.1.1, and that of the connected Ethernet interface on the router (Ethernet 0/0 in this example) is set to 192.168.1.2. Use the ping command to check the connectivity.

Step2 Maintain the router through the terminal connected with the console interface of the router.

The following gives an example:

<SYSTEM>ftp 192.168.1.1

Trying 192.168.1.1 ...

Press CTRL+K to abort

Connected to 192.168.1.1.

220 3Com 3CDaemon FTP Server Version 2.0

User(192.168.1.1:(none)):guest

331 User name ok, need password

Password:

230 User logged in

[ftp]

Step3 Use the following commands to maintain the router.

Here, the get and put commands are used to restore and back up files.

[ftp]get main.bin main.bin

flashcfa0:/main.bin has been existing. Overwrite it?[Y/N]:y

200 PORT command successful.

150 File status OK ; about to open data connection

226 Closing data connection; File transfer successful.

FTP: 14323376 byte(s) received in 69.256 second(s) 206.00K byte(s)/sec.

[ftp]put main.bin main.bin

200 PORT command successful.

150 File status OK ; about to open data connection

226 Closing data connection; File transfer successful.

FTP: 14323376 byte(s) sent in 15.974 second(s) 896.00Kbyte(s)/sec.

[ftp]quit

221 Service closing control connection

After an application is uploaded to the device, you can use the boot-loader command to upgrade the device. For the upgrade procedure, refer to

BootWare Menu

Main BootWare Menu

When the router is powered on and reboots, the console terminal displays:

Upgrading Procedure

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), a protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite, is used to transfer trivial files between clients and the server. It provides not-so-complex and low-cost file transfer services. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer services over UDP and does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs timeout and retransmission to guarantee the successful delivery of data. The TFTP software is much smaller than the FTP software in size:

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application-layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It mainly transfers files among remote hosts. Over TCP, FTP provides reliable and connection-oriented data transfer service but does not provide access authorization and authentication mechanism.

Step1 Set up an upgrade environment.

Figure 57 Set up a TFTP/FTP upgrade environment

Connect GigabitEthernet 0/0 to a PC with a crossover cable. Start the TFTP/FTP program on the PC, and set the path of TFTP/FTP server to directory of the application program. You need to set username and password if FTP server is used.

extended BootWare, or basic BootWare.

Upgrading BootWare Through Serial Interface

Use XModem to upgrade BootWare through a serial interface.

XModem Protocol Overview

To upgrade the BootWare and application program through a serial interface, use the XModem protocol.

XModem is a file transfer protocol widely used for its simplicity and good performance. Modem transfers files through serial interfaces. It supports transmission of packets in 128 bytes and 1 KB, error check (checksum and CRC), and error retransmission (generally the maximum number of retransmission attempts is 10).

XModem transmission is completed by the cooperation of a receiver and a sender. The receiver sends a negotiation message to the sender to negotiate an error check method. After the negotiation, the sender starts to transmit data packets. After a complete packet is received, the receiver checks the packet using the agreed method.

• If the check is passed, the receiver sends an acknowledgement message to the sender. Upon

receiving the message, the sender continues to send the next packet.

• If the check fails, the receiver sends a negative acknowledgement message to the sender. Upon

receiving the message, the sender retransmits the packet.

Modifying Serial Interface Parameters

Sometimes, we need to increase the baud rate of a serial interface to save software upgrade time, or lower the baud rate to guarantee transmission reliability. This section describes how to adjust the baud rate of a serial interface.

Enter 2 in the main BootWare menu to enter the serial interface submenu. Then, enter 5 and the system prompts for changing a baud rate.

==============================<BAUDRATE SET>==============================

|Note:'*'indicates the current baudrate |

| Change The HyperTerminal's Baudrate Accordingly |

|--------------------------<Baudrate Avaliable>--------------------------|

|<1> 9600(Default)* |

|<2> 19200 |

|<3> 38400 |

|<4> 57600 |

|<5> 115200 |

|<0> Exit |

==========================================================================

Enter your choice(0-5):

Select a proper baud rate, 5 for 115200 bps for example. The following prompt appears:

Baudrate has been changed to 115200 bps.

Please change the terminal's baudrate to 115200 bps, press ENTER when ready.

Since the baud rate of the serial interface on the router is changed to 115200 bps, whereas the terminal baud rate remains 9600 bps, they cannot communicate with each other. Change the baud rate on the console terminal to the one selected for downloading software.

Perform the following configurations on the console terminal:

Figure 58 Disconnect terminal

Select File > Properties, and press Configure… to change the baud rate to 115200 bps:

Figure 59 Modify baud rate

Select Call > Call to establish a new connection.

Press Enter to view the current baud rate and return to the previous menu. The system displays:

The current baudrate is 115200 bps

NOTE:

Restore the baud rate in the HyperTerminal to 9600 bps after upgrading the BootWare. This ensures tha the information can be displayed on the console terminal after system boot or reboot.

Upgrading BootWare

First, enter 7 in the main BootWare menu (refer to Main BootWare Menu on page 56) to enter the BootWare operation submenu, through which all BootWare operations are performed. For details, refer to

Returning to the main BootWare menu

Return to the main BootWare menu.

Dealing with Password Loss

Use the following solutions when your BootWare password, user password or Super Password is lost.

User Password Loss

You cannot enter the system if you lose your user password. In this case, you can boot the system by ignoring the system configuration. Perform the following operations to set a new user password:

Step1 Enter the main BootWare menu, and enter 6 to boot the system by ignoring the system configuration.

The system displays:

Flag Set Success.

The system prompts the setting succeeds.

Step2 When the main BootWare menu appears again, enter 0 to reboot the system. Step3 Set a new password in system view.

[SYSTEM]user-interface console 0

[SYSTEM-ui-console0]authentication-mode password

[SYSTEM-ui-console0]set authentication password simple 123456

The above information indicates that the password authentication is adopted on the console interface and the password is set to 123456 and stored in plain text.

NOTE:

• After reboot, the system runs the initial default configuration, but the original confi

in the Flash memory. To restore the original configuration, you can use the display saved-confi command to display it, and then copy and execute it.

• If the password is stored in plain text, you can use the display current-configuration command to vie

the password in the current configuration. If you use the set authentication password cipher 123456 command to set a password, the password is stored in cipher text.

Step4 Save the new configuration.

[SYSTEM] save

NOTE:

Use the save command to save your new password.

BootWare Password Loss

Contact the agent or the technical support personnel to set a new BootWare password in the event of BootWare password loss.

You can modify the BootWare password under the main BootWare menu. Enter 5 in the main BootWare menu to modify the password: The console terminal displays:

please input old password:

Please input new password:

Please input new password again:

Password Set Successfully.

uration file is stored

uration

NOTE:

The password modification fails when the old password is not correct or new password is inconsistent. Then the system will exit this operation.

Super Password Loss

The super password enables you to switch between four super levels. In the event of super password loss, you cannot perform higher level operations.

You can clear the super password by entering 8 in the main BootWare menu.

After you clear the super password, quit the menu and reboot the router, you can directly enter system view. The setting is valid for the first reboot of the router only. The super password will be restored after a second reboot.

Backing Up and Restoring BootWare

Enter 7 under the main BootWare menu to enter the BootWare operation submenu. Refer to BootWare

operation submenu on page

Enter 1 under the menu, and the system starts to backup the entire BootWare. The system prompts:

Will you backup the Basic BootWare? [Y/N]Y

Begin to backup the Basic BootWare................................Done!

Will you backup the Extend BootWare? [Y/N]Y

Begin to backup the Extend BootWare................................Done!

Now, the entire BootWare is backed up to the memory.

Enter 2 under the menu to restore the BootWare in the memory to the system:

Will you restore the Basic BootWare? [Y/N]Y

Begin to restore Normal Basic BootWare................................Done!

Will you restore the Extend BootWare? [Y/N]Y

Begin to restore Normal Extend BootWare................................Done!

60 for details.

Note that the MSR 30-11 does not support backup and restoration of the extended BootWare.

When you perform the backup operation, the system displays the following information:

The function of backuping Extended BootWare is not support!

When you perform the restoration operation, the system displays:

The function of restore Extended BootWare is not support!
