1.1.4 Creating a Management IP Address

Creating a Management IP Address

The SVI and router port address can be used as the management address of the layer 3 switch.

Layer 3 Switch:

The address of a layer-3 switch can be configured for management or communication, for example, as the gateway for a user.

Configuration Method 1:

Ruijie>enable

Ruijie#configure terminal

Ruijie(config)#interface vlan 10

Ruijie(config-if-VLAN 10)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Ruijie(config-if-VLAN 10)#end

Ruijie#write

Note: To configure the address for VLANs other than VLAN 1 in interface configuration mode, create the corresponding VLAN first; otherwise, a failure prompt is displayed.

 

Configuration Method 2:

Ruijie>enable

Ruijie#configure terminal

Ruijie(config)#int GigabitEthernet 1/1

Ruijie(config-if-GigabitEthernet 1/1)#no switchport------>configure the port as layer 3 port before configuring ip address

Ruijie(config-if-GigabitEthernet 1/1)#ip add 192.168.16.1 255.255.255.0

Ruijie(config-if-GigabitEthernet 1/1)#end

Ruijie#write------>save configuration after checking.

 

Verification

Ruijie#show ip int brief

Interface           IP-Address(Pri)           IP-Address(Sec)       Status        Protocol

GigabitEthernet 1/1       192.168.16.1/24        no address          up          up

VLAN 10                  192.168.1.1/24         no address          up          up

VLAN 100                 192.168.100.1/24      192.168.10.1/24      up          up

1.1.5 Configuring a Default Gateway

Note: The default gateway of a layer 3 switch is provided by static routing. A device can also learn network routing through a dynamic routing protocol so as to implement remote management. For the configuration specification of other routing protocols, see IP Route (for the configuration method, see Common Function Configuration > IP Route).

Configuring the Default Gateway of a Switch

Configure the default gateway, that is, default route, of a layer 3 switch.

Ruijie>enable

Ruijie#configure terminal

Ruijie(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254------>configure default gateway of switch as 192.168.1.254

Ruijie(config)#end

Ruijie#write------>save configuration after checking.

 

Verification

Ruijie#show ip route

1.2        Firmware Upgrade

Two upgrade packages are available to 11.X switches, namely rack package and patch package.

A rack package contains main installation packages of the supervisor module and all line cards and is used to upgrade all line cards on a rack device at one time.

A hot patch package contains hot patches for several functional components and is generally used to fix minor bugs. The functional component package can be patched by upgrading the hot patch package. After the upgrade, the device can immediately have new features without being restarted.

Both the rack package and the hot patch package are upgraded with their configurations saved.

 

 

Notes (Must-Read)

The difference between an 11.X box-type switch and a rack-type switch lies in that the former restarts after the upgrade command is run while the latter restarts after the reload command is run.

Ruijie#upgrade flash:S2910_RGOS11.4(1)B1_02162700_install.bin

Upgrade the device must be auto-reset after finish, are you sure upgrading now?[Y/N]y

 

Upgrade in the Running Mode

Rack Package Upgrade Using a USB Flash Disk

Notes

1. To fix software bugs or get new features, upgrade the switch software version in the running mode.

2. A USB flash disk is recommended for 11.X switch upgrade because the installation package is big and upgrade using other methods is slow. Upgrade with a USB flash disk is easy and quick.

3. The CM supervisor module only has a capacity of 512 MB. Therefore, the rack package can be directly upgraded only with a USB flash disk.

4. If the CM supervisor module has a capacity of 1 GB, upgrade the device by copying the installation package from TFTP to the installation partition as well as by using a USB flash disk. Run the dir install: command to view the corresponding drive.

5. If the CMII supervisor module has a large capacity, upgrade the device by copying the installation package from TFTP to the data partition as well as using a USB flash disk. Run the dir flash: command to view the corresponding drive.

 

Patch Package Upgrade Using a USB Flash Disk

Notes

1. To fix software bugs or get new features, upgrade the switch software version in the running mode.

2. A hot patch package contains hot patches for several functional components and is generally used to fix minor bugs. The functional component package can be patched by upgrading the hot patch package. After the upgrade, the device can immediately have new features without being started.

3. There is a baseline version for the patch package upgrade. Upgrade the device to the corresponding baseline version before upgrading the patch package. The device may be upgraded compulsively to the corresponding baseline version but it may cause version incompatibility. Therefore, compulsive upgrade is not advised.

4. To permanently activate patches, run the patch active command to temporarily activate the patch before running the patch running command.

 

1.2.2 Upgrade with USB Drive

I. Configuration Tips

Run the show version detail command to display the current version, that is, system software number.

Verify the upgrade file used by checking Release Notes.

Copy the upgrade file from the PC to the root directory of the USB flash drive.

Insert the USB flash drive to the USB port of the supervisor engine. The USB flash drive is automatically identified.

Note: Before removing the USB flash drive from the switch, run the show usb command to check the USB ID, and then run the usb remove xx command to remove the USB flash drive.

II. Configuration Steps

1.      On CLI, run the upgrade command.

Ruijie#dir usb0:  Checks whether the upgrade file exists on the USB flash drive.

Ruijie#upgrade usb0: /xxxxx_install.bin  (xxxx_install.bin is the upgrade file copied to the USB flash drive)

 

2.       Wait until the upgrade progress reaches 100%, or run the show upgrade status command to check the upgrade progress.

Ruijie#show upgrade status

 

3.      Wait until the upgrade process of all the line cards, FE cards, and supervisor engines reaches 100% and the result is success, run the reload command to restart the device. (The entire upgrade process generally takes four to five minutes and does not affect services. In this operation, the Flash file on the line card is upgraded, but the earlier version still runs on the memory.) After the device is restarted, the new version runs.

 

4.      Wait three to five minutes until the device is restarted.

 

III. Verification

Ruijie#show version detail

1.2.3      Upgrade with FTP

 

Run the show version detail command to display the current version, that is, system software number.

 

Verify the upgrade file used by checking Release Notes.

II. Configuration Steps

1.      Start the FTP server on the device, and designate the root directory as the USB0 root directory. (The space on the built-in Flash of CMI is small, and may be insufficient for storing the upgrade file. The CMII can be specified as the Flash root directory.) ,the reference commands are as follows:

Ruijie(config)#ftp-server username admin

Ruijie(config)#ftp-server password ruijie

Ruijie(config)#ftp-server topdir usb0: /                 //The USB flash drive must be installed in advance on the main engine.

Ruijie(config)#ftp-server timeout 300

Ruijie(config)#ftp-server enable

 

2.      The local PC serves as the FTP client. Start the client software (such as FLASHFTP) and connect to the FTP server (N18K). Ensure that the PC can communicate properly with the S86E.

 

3.      Use the FTP client on the PC to load the upgrade file to the FTP server.

 

4.      Run the upgrade command. (The subsequent procedures and methods are the same as those in the USB upgrade mode.)

The only difference between the FTP and USB onsite upgrade modes lies in the file transfer mode. In FTP upgrade mode, the upgrade file is transferred to the remote device through FTP to meet the remote upgrade requirement. In USB onsite upgrade mode, the upgrade file is directly copied from a PC to the USB flash drive.

 

The subsequent upgrade method is the same. That is, run the upgrade command to update the file and then restart the device to finish the upgrade.

1.2.4      Upgrade with TFTP

Run the show version detail command to display the current version, that is, system software number.

 

Verify the upgrade file used by checking Release Notes.

 

I. Configuration Steps

1. Start the TFTP server on the PC and specify the directory of the upgrade file. Ensure that the PC communicates properly with the S86E.

 

2. The S86E serves as the TFTP client. The upgrade method is the same as that in the common TFTP upgrade mode. Copy the upgrade file to the USB flash drive on the CMI, or to the built-in Flash on the CMII.

Ruijie#copy tftp://192.168.1.1/S86e_install.bin usb0:// S86e_install.bin

 

4.      Run the upgrade command. (The subsequent procedures and methods are the same as those in the USB upgrade mode.)

The only difference between the TFTP and USB onsite upgrade modes lies in the file transfer mode. In TFTP upgrade mode, the upgrade file is transferred to the remote device through TFTP to meet the remote upgrade requirement. In USB onsite upgrade mode, the upgrade file is directly copied from a PC to the USB flash drive.

 

The subsequent upgrade method is the same. That is, run the upgrade command to update the file and then restart the device to finish the upgrade.

 

The TFTP transmission rate is lower than the FTP transmission rate. Data is transmitted using TCP in FTP mode, and using UDP in TFTP mode. TFTP is simple and easy to use.

1.2.5      Install Patch

1. 11.X is a modular OS and the bug of a software function can be fixed by using a patch. After the patch is installed, the device can fix the bug and can run normally without being restarted. This OS is applicable to the scenario that imposes rigid requirements on the network interruption time during maintenance.

 

2. A patch is in the uninstalled, installed, or activated state, where:

 

The installed state indicates that the patch is installed on the memory of the device but the path function does not take effect yet.

 

Only a patch in the activated state takes effect.

 

I. Configuration Steps

1. Install a patch.

Copy the path file to a USB flash drive, and run the upgrade command to install the path.The reference command is as follows:

Ruijie#upgrade usb0: /N18K-octeon-cm_RGOS11.0(1b2)_20140708_patch.bin

 

2. Activate a patch.

The reference command is as follows:

Ruijie#patch active slot all

Ruijie#patch running slot all

Note: active means that the patch is currently effective and is ineffective after the device is restarted. running indicates that the patch is effective permanently.

 

3.      Display the patch status.

The reference command is as follows:

Ruijie#show patch slot all

1.3        Restore Password

I. Configuration Tips

1. Prepare console cable before recovering

2. Password recovery require system rebooting and network downtime

3. Improper operation may cause config file lost.

 

II. Configuration Steps

1.      connect console cable to the switch

 

2.      Refer to chapter system management>console management

1)      manually reboot the switch

 

2)      Press Ctrl+C when system rebooting

 

3)       Press CTRL +Ｑ to enter uboot CLI mode

 

4)      then system will reboot automatically

 

5)      At this moment, no password is required to enter CLI

Note: The password is reset just temporarily .Once you quit privilege mode, password is required again. You have to reset the password quickly.

 

6)      Reset new password

 

7)      Verify new password

Login with the new password
