SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
THE SINGLE MODE INTERFACE MODULES USE CLASS 1 LASER
TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates
the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1
Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of
all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the
fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The
maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases
eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

Bridging
The XP-2000 provides the following types of high-speed bridging:
•
Address-based bridging – The XP-2000 performs this type of bridging by looking up the
destination address in an L2 lookup table on the expansion module that receives the bridge
packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet.
If the packet is addressed to the XP-2000’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than
bridged.
•
Flow-based bridging – The XP-2000 performs this type of bridging by looking up an entry in
the L2 lookup table containing both the source and destination addresses of the bridge packet.
Your choice of bridging method does not affect XP-2000 performance. However, address-based
bridging is more efficient because it requires fewer table entries while flow-based bridging provides
tighter management and control over bridged traffic.
The XP-2000 ports perform address-based bridging by default, but can be configured to perform
flow-based bridging instead of address-based bridging on a per-port basis. A port cannot be
configured to perform both types of bridging at the same time.
Port and Protocol VLANs
The XP-2000 supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs):
•
Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a set of ports that comprises a Layer-2 broadcast
domain. The XP-2000 confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which the
broadcast originates. XP-2000 ports outside the VLAN do not receive the broadcast.
•
Protocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that comprises an
IP or IPX broadcast domain. The XP-2000 confines IP or IPX broadcasts to the ports within the
IP or IPX based VLAN. Protocol-based VLANs sometimes are called subnet VLANs or Layer3 VLANs.
You can include the same port in more than one VLAN, even in both port-based and protocol-based
VLANs. Moreover, you can define VLANs that span across multiple
XP-2000s. To simplify VLAN administration, the XP-2000 supports 802.1q trunk ports, which
allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to another XP-2000 or switch
which supports 802.1q.
Routing
The XP-2000 provides high-speed routing for the following protocols:
4
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Features
•
Internet Protocol (IP) – the protocol switching and routing devices use for moving traffic
within the Internet and within many corporate intranets.
•
Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) – a protocol by Novell used in Netware products.
Note:
All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP.
By default, the XP-2000 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The XP-2000 can be configured
to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX
interface. When the XP-2000 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the XP2000’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the port that received the packet from the network uses
information in the module’s L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the motherboard) to route
the packet to its IP destination(s).
You can create only one IP and IPX interface on a single port or VLAN. You can add secondary IP
addresses to the same IP interface. When you add an interface to a set of ports, you are adding a
VLAN to those ports. Ports that contain IP and IPX interfaces can still perform Layer-2 bridging.
IP Routing
The XP-2000 supports the following IP unicast routing protocols:
•
RIP v1 and RIP v2
•
OSPF v2
•
BGP v2/v3/v4
IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for
routing, you also specify the routing protocol the interface will use.
IP Multicast Routing
The XP-2000 supports the following IP multicast routing protocols:
•
IGMP v1 and IGMP v2
•
DVMRP v3
The XP-2000 does not use a specific IP Multicast routing protocol by default. Configuring an
interface for IP Multicast also specifies its routing protocol.
IPX Routing
The XP-2000 supports the following IPX routing protocols:
•
IPX RIP – a version of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) tailored for IPX
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
5
Features
•
IPX SAP – the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX network
to reach printers, file servers, and other services
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the XP-2000 when an IPX interface is created.
Layer-4 Switching
In addition to Layer-2 bridging and Layer-3 routing, the XP-2000 performs Layer-4 switching.
Layer-4 switching is based on applications and flows.
•
Layer-4 applications – The XP-2000 understands the application for which an IP or IPX packet
contains data and therefore enables you to manage and control traffic on an application basis.
For IP traffic, the XP-2000 looks at the packet’s TCP or UDP port number to determine the
application. For IPX packets, the XP-2000 looks at the destination socket to determine the
application.
•
Layer-4 flows – The XP-2000 can store Layer-4 flows in each expansion module. A Layer-4
flow consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the
TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket
(for IPX). You can therefore manage and control individual flows between hosts on an
individual application basis.
A single host can have many individual Layer-4 entries in the XP-2000. For example, an IP host
might have separate Layer-4 application entries for email, FTP, HTTP, and so on, or separate Layer4 flow entries for specific email destinations and for specific FTP and Web connections.
Security
The bridging, routing, and application (Layer-2, Layer-3, and Layer-4) support described in
previous sections enables you to implement security filters that meet the specific needs of your
organization. You can implement the following types of filters to secure traffic on the XP-2000:
6
•
Layer-2 source filters (block bridge traffic based on source MAC address)
•
Layer-2 destination filters (block bridge traffic based on destination MAC address)
•
Layer-2 flow filters (block bridge traffic based on specific source-destination pairs)
•
Layer-3 source filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on source IP or IPX address)
•
Layer-3 destination filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on destination IP or IPX address)
•
Layer-3 flow filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on specific source-destination pairs)
•
Layer-4 application filters (block traffic based on UDP or TCP source and destination ports for
IP or source and destination sockets for IPX)
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Features
Quality of Service
Although the XP-2000 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the XP2000 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific
hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks
where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity.
The XP-2000 QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low. Control traffic has the
highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all traffic is low.
You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic:
•
Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)
•
Layer-3 source-destination flows
•
Layer-4 source-destination flows
•
Layer-4 application flows
Statistics
The XP-2000 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types
of statistics:
•
Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets
in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on)
•
Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast,
VLAN
•
Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP
Management Platforms
You can manage the XP-2000 using the following management platforms:
•
Command Line Interface (CLI) – An EMACs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands
and responds when applicable with messages or tables. You will use the CLI to perform the
basic setup procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide.
•
SNMP MIBs and traps – The XP-2000 supports SNMP v1 and many standard networking
MIBs. You can access the XP-2000’s SNMP agent using Enterasys integration software for HP
OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Enterasys Spectrum on Solaris 2.x. Chapter 3,
Firmware Installation and Setup, in this guide explains how to set up SNMP on the XP-2000.

Hardware Overview
External Controls
The XP-2000 has the following external controls. Where appropriate, this guide describes how to
use the controls.
•
A Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection from a
management terminal. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the
XP-2000. The default baud rate is 9600.
•
A 10Base-T/100Base-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network connection from a
management terminal. The port is configured as Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to
establish a management connection to the XP-2000 over a local or bridged Ethernet segment.
•
A Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the XP-2000’s motherboard from the internal
boot flash in the event of a system failure. The Reset switch is recessed in the XP-2000’s chassis,
so you will have to use a tool like a small allen wrench to activate the switch.
•
Status LEDs.
Table 3. Status LEDs
LED Label
Description
OK
When this LED is on, the XP-2000 and all expansion modules are functioning
correctly.
ERR
When this LED is on, a fatal system error has occurred. Activate the XP2000’s boot PROM to reboot the router.
HBT
This LED flashes when the XP-2000’s boot PROM is active.
DIAG
When this LED is on, the XP-2000 is in diagnostic mode. (While in diagnostic
mode, you will notice several other LEDs on the XP-2000 are active, as well.)
Motherboard Features
The internal “motherboard” performs all the XP-2000’s computing and routing functions. It
contains system-wide bridging and routing tables. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2
and L3/L4 lookup tables on individual expansion modules is handled by the motherboard. After
processing traffic, the motherboard updates the L2 and L3/L4 tables on the ports and/or expansion
slot(s) that received the traffic. The ports/expansion slot(s) thus “learn” about how to forward
traffic.
Boot Flash
The motherboard has a boot flash containing the XP-2000’s boot software and configuration files.
The system software image file resides on an internal flash chip and can be upgraded from a TFTP
server.

Hardware Overview
RAM Memory
The XP-2000’s motherboard uses 32MB of RAM to hold routing and other tables. This RAM is
“fixed” and is not removable or upgradable.
The XP-2000 uses 128MB of RAM to hold routing and other tables. This RAM is “fixed” and is
not removable or upgradable.
Power Supplies
The XP-2000 uses two power supplies, each delivering 3.3, 5, and 12 volts DC to the motherboard,
internal fans, and other components. Each power supply provides a portion of the power necessary
to operate the XP-2000, with the added bonus that, in the unlikely event that one of the power
supplies should fail, the remaining power supply will assume the entire load and provide enough
current to operate a fully-configured XP-2000 chassis.
Note:
Be sure to plug the XP-2000 into a single-phase grounded power source located within 6
feet of the installation site.
The following table lists the specifications for the power supplies.

Fans
The XP-2000 contains two internal fans to provide cooling air flow across the motherboard and
expansion slot(s). The fans are located near the middle of the chassis, between the power supplies
and the motherboard.
Note:
10
To ensure that the fans can provide adequate cooling, Enterasys recommends that you
allow a minimum of 3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis.

Figure 9. Installing the XP-2000 chassis in an equipment rack
To install the XP-2000 in an equipment rack:
1.
If your XP-2000 is not already equipped with rack-mounting brackets, take the following
steps. Otherwise skip to step 2.
a.
Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of the XP2000. The mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the side with two open mounting
holes is flush with the front of the XP-2000.
b.
Use the phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied phillips-head screws to attach the
mounting bracket to both the side and bottom of the chassis. (There are four holes for each
rack mounting bracket—the one on the side of the chassis that you exposed in step a, and
three holes in the bottom of the chassis.)
Note:
c.
Be sure to use the phillips-head screws supplied by Enterasys. If you use screws
that are longer than the ones included with your shipment, there is a danger of
damaging the XP-2000‘s internal components.
Attach the other mounting bracket.
2.
Along with an assistant, lift the XP-2000 into place in the mounting rack.
3.
While your assistant holds the chassis in place, use the phillips-head screwdriver and four
phillips-head screws to attach the mounting brackets to the mounting rack.
Caution: Make sure the screws are tight before your assistant releases the chassis. If you
accidentally leave the screws loose, the chassis can slip and fall, possibly becoming damaged.

Installing an Expansion Module
Warning: Before performing any upgrade or installation procedures, ensure that the
XP-2000 is powered off and that you are properly “grounded” to avoid electrostatic discharge
while working inside the XP-2000’s chassis.
Note:
A hardware restriction prevents the Xpedition 2000 from supporting configurations
consisting of:
– Two (2) 1000Base-SX or 1000Base-LX Gigabit modules.
– Two (2) 100Base-FX modules.
However, the router does support a configuration consisting of one (1) Gigabit module and
one (1) 100Base-FX module.
To install a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX gigabit expansion module:
1.
Ensure that the XP-2000 is powered off.
2.
If your XP-2000 is equipped for rack mounting, use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove
the mounting brackets from each side of the XP-2000.
3.

Dual Serial and Quad Serial – C/CE Expansion Modules
The Dual Serial and Quad Serial – C/CE expansion modules each use the same 60-pin LFH-60
high density connector to link to their respective Channel Service Units/Data Service Units
(CSU/DSUs). Figure 23 on page 39 shows how to plug your serial cable into a port on the Dual
Serial or Quad Serial – C/CE expansion modules.
Enterasys offers the following four cables, used to connect the XP to standard CSU/DSU modules:

The two remote ends of each type of connector cable is labeled “Port A” and “Port B”. “Port A” corresponds to
Port 1 on a Dual Serial WAN expansion module and Port 1 or 3 on a
Quad Serial – C/CE, depending upon which WAN expansion module port you are using. Similarly, “Port B”
corresponds to Port 2 on a Dual Serial WAN expansion module and Port 2 or 4 on a Quad Serial – C/CE.
Note:
Because the LFH-60 high density connectors on Dual Serial and Quad
Serial – C/CE expansion modules contain two serial WAN ports per interface, all four

Firmware
Installation and
Setup
This chapter provides the following firmware installation and basic setup procedures:
•
Powering on and booting the firmware
•
Starting the Command Line Interface (CLI)
•
Setting basic system information
•
Setting up SNMP community strings
•
Setting up passwords
•
Setting the DNS domain name and address
•
Setting SYSLOG parameters
•
Loading system image firmware
•
Loading the boot PROM firmware
•
Activating configuration changes and saving the configuration file
Powering On and Booting the Firmware
To power on the XP-2000 and boot the firmware:
1.
Make sure any exposed expansion slots are free of foreign objects, such as tools or your hands,
and are covered with coverplates.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
43
Starting the Command Line Interface
2.
Plug the XP-2000’s power supplies into a power source. If the power source is active, the
router will automatically power on and attempt to boot using the Boot Firmware image in the
motherboard’s boot flash. As it boots, the router performs a minimal hardware check and
searches for a valid System Firmware image. If a valid image is available, it is loaded onto the
router and booted up. As the firmware boots, the management console attached to the
XP-2000’s DB-9 DCE port displays messages related to the phases of the boot sequence The
Boot Firmware then transfers control of the router to the System Firmware and the CLI is
activated. When the firmware is fully booted, the following message appears on the
management console:
Press RETURN to activate console...
3.
Press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI on the console.
Starting the Command Line Interface
To start the Command Line Interface (CLI), power on the system. Startup messages appear on the
console (the terminal attached to one of the XP-2000’s ports).
After the firmware is fully booted and you press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI, the CLI
prompts you for a password. You can define separate passwords for Login access, Enable mode,
and Configure mode. The factory default password for these is set to blank. (Simply press Return.)
Access Modes
The CLI has the following access modes:
•
User – Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not
allow you to display SNMP, filter and access control list information, or make other
configuration changes. You can tell you are in User mode when the command prompt ends with
a “>” character.
•
Enable – Allows you to display SNMP, filter, and access control information as well as all the
information you can display in User mode. To enter Enable mode, enter the enable command,
then supply the password when prompted. When you are in Enable mode, the command prompt
ends with a “#“ character.
•
Configure – Allows you to make configuration changes. To enter Configure mode, first enter
Enable mode (enable command), then enter the configure command from the Enable command
prompt. When you are in Configure mode, the command prompt ends with “(config)#.”
•
Boot – This mode appears when the XP-2000 or the system image is not found during bootup.
You should enter the reboot command to reset the router. If the XP-2000 still fails to bootup,
please call Enterasys Technical Support.
Note:
44
The command prompt will show the name of the XP-2000 in front of the mode
character(s). The default name is “xp.” The procedure in Setting Basic System
Information on page 46 describes how to change the system name.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Starting the Command Line Interface
When you are in Configure or Enable mode, use the exit command or press Ctrl+Z to exit to the
previous access mode.
Note:
When you exit Configure mode, the CLI will ask you whether you want to activate the
configuration commands you have issued. If you enter yes or y, the configuration
commands you issued are placed into effect and the XP-2000’s configuration is changed
accordingly. However, the changes are not written to the Startup configuration file in the
XP-2000’s boot flash and therefore are not reinstated after a reboot. See Activating
Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File on page 60 for information
about saving configuration changes.
Basic Line Editing Commands
The CLI supports EMACs-like line editing commands. The following table lists some commonly
used commands. For a complete set of commands, see the The TeraLink 2000 Series Library: User
Reference.

Setting Basic System Information
Setting Basic System Information
Use the procedure in this section to set the following system information:
•
System time and date
•
System name
•
System location
•
Contact name (the person to contact regarding this XP-2000)
Note:
Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value. String values can be up a
maximum of 255 characters in length, including blank spaces. Surround strings that
contain blanks with quotation marks (example: “string with internal blanks”).
To set the system information:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Use the following commands to set the system time and date and then verify the setting
set date year <number> month <month-name> day <day> hour <hour> minute <minute>
second <second>
system show date
Here is an example:
xp# system set date year 2001 month may day 15 hour 11 minute 54 second 0
Time changed to: Mon May 14 11:54:00 2001
xp# system show date
Current time: Mon May 14 11:54:04 2001
3.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI. The
commands in Step 4 through Step 10 can be entered only from Configure mode.
4.
Use the following commands to set the system name, location, and contact information:
system set name “<string>”
system set location “<string>”
system set contact “<string>”
Here is an example:
xp(config)# system set name “xp-1”
xp(config)# system set location “Sunnyvale, CA”
xp(config)# system set contact “John Smith”
46
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Setting Basic System Information
5.
Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet
interface, as shown in the following example:
xp(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16
Note:
6.
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
XP-2000’s management port.
To show the changes accumulated in the scratchpad, enter the show command while in
Configure mode, as shown in the following example:
xp(config)# show
-EDIT-I-NOCONFIG, the running system has no configuration
******** Non-committed changes in Scratchpad ********
1*: system set name “xp-1”
2*: system set location “Sunnyvale, CA”
3*: system set contact “John Smith”
When you enter commands in Configure mode, the XP-2000 does not immediately execute the
commands. Instead, the XP-2000 checks the syntax of the commands and if they are
syntactically correct, stores them in a temporary scratchpad in memory. The scratchpad is
automatically cleared when you log out of the XP, so you must activate the changes and then
save them to the Startup configuration file to retain the changes, as explained below.
The scratchpad allows you to make configuration changes without worrying about the order in
which you issue the commands. Also, if you change your mind about configuration changes you
are making, you do not need to incrementally back out of the changes. You can simply choose
not to activate them. As you become more familiar with the XP-2000 and the CLI and begin to
make detailed configuration changes, you may find the scratchpad quite useful. For simple
changes such as the ones in this procedure, you might instead want to activate the changes as
you go, then use CLI commands to view the results of the changes.
7.
Enter the save active command to activate commands, such as the “system set...” commands
you used in Step 4, in the scratchpad.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before activating
any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the
changes in the scratchpad active by displaying the following message:
Do you want to make the changes Active [yes]?
8.
Enter yes or y to activate the changes.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide

Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
9.
To display the active configuration, enter the system show active-config command, as shown
in the following example:
xp-1# system show active-config
Running system configuration:
!

!
1 : system set name “xp-1”
2 : system set location “Sunnyvale, CA”
3 : system set contact “John Smith”
Changes in the active configuration take effect on the running system but will not be restored
following a reboot.
10. To ensure that changes are restored following a reboot, you must save the active database to the
Startup configuration file by taking the following steps:
a.
Enter the exit command to return to Enable mode.
b.
Enter the copy active to startup command.
The CLI displays the following message:
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]?
11. Enter yes or y to add the active configuration to the Startup configuration file.
Note:
You also can save active changes to the Startup configuration file from within Configure
mode by entering the save startup command.
See Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File on page 60 for more
information about the scratchpad, active database, and Startup configuration.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
To use SNMP to manage the XP-2000, you need to set up an SNMP community on the XP-2000.
Otherwise, the XP-2000’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until you disable it using
the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the
XP-2000’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.
To add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps, take the following steps:
48
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
3.
Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for the traps.
snmp set community <community-name> privilege read
snmp set target <IP-addr> community <community-name>
Note:
The target IP address must be locally attached to the XP-2000. You cannot specify a
target that is connected to the XP-2000 by another router. If the IP address is more
than one hop away from the XP-2000, configure the
XP-2000 with a static route to the target so that a cold start trap is sent.
4.
Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5.
Enter the save active command to activate the commands you entered in the previous steps.
6.
To verify the changes, enter the snmp show all command.

Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Setting Up Passwords
Setting Up Passwords
You can password protect CLI access to the XP-2000 by setting up passwords for login access and
Enable access. Users who have a login password but not an Enable password can use only the
commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can use the commands available
in Enable and Configure modes as well as the commands in User mode.
In addition, you can set up the XP-2000 for TACACS and/or RADIUS authentication on login and
password by a TACACS or RADIUS server. You can find a section describing configuration of the
XP-2000 for TACACS and RADIUS in the The TeraLink 2000 Series Library: User Reference.
Note:
If a password is configured for Enable mode, the XP-2000 prompts you for the password
when you enter the enable command. Otherwise, the XP-2000 displays a message
advising you to configure an Enable password before entering Enable mode. From Enable
mode, you can access Configure mode to make configuration changes.
The default password for each access level is blank. (Simply press Enter or Return without entering
a password.) If you want to add password protection to the CLI, use the following procedure.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
3.
Use the following command for each password you want to set:
system set password login|enable <string>|none
4.
Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5.
Enter the save active command to activate the commands.
6.
Enter the system show active-config command to verify the active changes.
Here is an example of the commands in the previous steps:
xp-1(config)# system set password login demo
xp-1(config)# system set password enable demo
xp-1(config)# save active
xp-1# exit
xp-1# system show active-config

Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address
Caution: Test all the new passwords before saving the active configuration to the Startup
configuration file. As shown in the example above, the passwords are shown in the active
configuration in an encrypted format and will also appear this way in the Startup configuration.
To keep your passwords secure, the XP-2000 does not have a command for displaying passwords.
If you forget a password, you can remove the password by entering the following command while
in Configure mode. (See the Enterasys X-Pedition Command Line Interface Reference Manual for
more information.)
system set password login|enable none
Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address
If you want the XP-2000 to be able to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to specify
the domain name and IP address for the DNS server.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Use the following command to verify that the XP-2000 can reach the DNS server by pinging
the server, as shown in the following example:
xp-1# ping 10.50.11.12
PING 10.50.11.12 (10.50.11.12): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.50.11.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms
--- 10.50.11.12 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
3.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
4.
If you have not done so already, use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and
netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface, as shown in the following example:
xp-1(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16
Note:
5.
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
XP-2000’s management port.
Use the following command to specify the domain name for which the DNS server(s) have
authority:
system set dns domain <domain-name>
where <domain-name> is your specified domain name (example: mktg.company.com).
52
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Setting SYSLOG Parameters
6.
Use the following command to “add” one or more DNS servers to the XP-2000:
system set dns server ["]<IP-address> [<IP-address>] [<IP-address>]["]
where <IP-address> is the IP address of the DNS server. You can specify up to three DNS
servers.
Note:
7.
If you specify more than one IP address, you must separate the addresses with a space
and surround them with a single pair of quotes. You do not need to surround a single
IP address with quotes.
Enter the save active command to activate the commands and enter yes or y to activate the
changes.
Here is an example of the commands above featuring the addition of two DNS server IP
addresses:
xp-1# config
xp-1(config)# system set dns domain “mktg.company.com”
xp-1(config)# system set dns server “10.50.11.12 10.50.12.11"
xp-1(config)# save active
8.
Enter the system show dns command to verify the new DNS settings, as shown in the
following example:
xp-1# system show dns
DNS domain: mktg.company.com, DNS server(s): 10.50.11.12 10.50.12.11
9.
Use the ping command to verify that the XP-2000 can resolve the DNS server name into its IP
address, as shown in the following example:
xp-1# ping xp1
PING xp-1.mktg.company.com (10.50.11.12): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.50.11.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms
--- xp-1.mktg.company.com ping statistics --1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
Setting SYSLOG Parameters
The CLI can use SYSLOG messages to communicate the following types of messages to a
SYSLOG server:
•
Fatal – Provide information about events that caused the XP-2000 to crash and reset.
•
Error – Provide information about errors.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
53
Setting SYSLOG Parameters
•
Warning – Provide warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions
that are not necessarily errors. This is the default.
•
Informational – Provide informational messages such as status messages. The SYSLOG
messages that the XP-2000 displays while booting the firmware and reading the startup
configuration file are examples of Informational messages.
The XP-2000 writes the SYSLOG messages to a SYSLOG daemon on UDP port 514. You can set
the CLI to send all or only some of the message types. By default, the CLI sends warning, error, and

Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Setting SYSLOG Parameters
Use the following procedure to specify the SYSLOG server and the types of messages you want the
CLI to log on the server.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Use the following command to verify that the XP-2000 can reach the SYSLOG server by
pinging the server:
ping <IP-addr>
3.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
4.
If you have not already done so, use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and
netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface, as shown in the following example:
xp-1(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16
Note:
5.
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
XP-2000’s management port.
Use the following commands to “add” the SYSLOG server to the XP-2000, set the message
level, and set the SYSLOG facility:
system set syslog server <hostname-or-IP-addr>
system set syslog level fatal|error|warning|info
system set syslog facility <facility-type>
Here is an example:
xp-1# config
xp-1(config)# system set syslog server 10.50.11.12
xp-1(config)# system set syslog level info
xp-1(config)# system set syslog facility local0

2.
Copy the firmware upgrade you want to install onto a TFTP server that the XP-2000 can
access. (Use the ping command to verify that the XP can reach the TFTP server.)
3.
Use the following command to copy the firmware upgrade onto the internal flash chip in the
XP-2000:
system image add <IPaddr-of-TFTP-host> <image-file-name>
Here is an example:
xp-1# system image add tftp-server 10.50.11.12 file-name /images/E9050-image

%SYS-I-BOOTADDED, Image 'E9050-image' added.
4.
Enter the system image list command to verify that the new image exists on the internal flash
chip, as shown in the following example:
xp-1# system image list
Images currently available on Master CM:
E9050-image (version E9.0.5.0)
**Warning: No local image is selected for next reboot on this CM.
Consider using the 'system image choose <imagename>' command
to choose an image for this CM. If you do not, the XP will
attempt to boot by first searching the bootsource variable in nvram.
When this variable is not set, you will be sent to the boot prom prompt.
When this variable is set, the XP will attempt to boot from the image set.
If this fails, the XP will search for a single image on the flash.
If a single image is found, the XP will use it to boot.
But if a single image is not found (perhaps no images are
on the flash or perhaps more than one image is on the flash)
the XP will send you to the boot prom prompt.
5.
Use the following command to select the image file the XP-2000 will use the next time you
reboot the switch.
system image choose <file-name>

Loading Boot PROM Firmware
Loading Boot PROM Firmware
The XP boots using the boot PROM firmware installed in the XP-2000’s internal memory. To
upgrade the boot PROM firmware and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure.
Note:
1.
X-Pedition routers use two versions of the boot PROM Firmware—one for the XP-2000
line and another for the X-Pedition 8000/8600 and ER16 lines. When you install a new
boot PROM image, check the version before you begin. Installing the incorrect image may
cause serious problems.
Display the current boot settings by entering the system show version command, as shown in
the following example:
xp-1# system show version

Upgrading the VFS
Upgrading the VFS
A VFS file system called VFS2 is available. VFS2 dramatically decreases the time required for
deleting and adding system images.
Note:
Upgrading the file system to VFS2 will not erase your configuration image.
The VFS2 file system is only compatible with:
•
boot PROM version v.1.1.0.8
•
system image version 3.1 or later
To upgrade the VFS file system to VFS2, perform the following steps:
1.
Upgrade the firmware to release version 3.1 or later.
2.
Upgrade the bootprom to version v.1.1.0.8. See Loading Boot PROM Firmware on page 59 for
instructions on upgrading the firmware.
3.
Reboot.
4.
Press esc during bootup to enter the bootprom mode.
5.
Type pcmakeversion2 to convert your old VFS1 flash card into a new VFS2 file system.
6.
Reboot.
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the
Configuration File
The XP-2000 uses three special configuration files:
•
Active – The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration commands
that you have made active from the scratchpad (see below).
Caution: The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power cycle. If you
power down or reboot the XP-2000 without saving the active configuration changes to the Startup
configuration file, the changes are lost.
60
•
Startup – The configuration file that the XP-2000 uses to configure itself when the system is
powered on.
•
Scratchpad – The configuration commands you have entered during a management session.
These commands do not become active until you explicitly activate them. Because some
commands depend on other commands for successful execution, the XP-2000 scratchpad
simplifies system configuration by allowing you to enter configuration commands in any order,
even when dependencies exist. When you activate the commands in the scratchpad, the
XP-2000 sorts out the dependencies and executes the command in the proper sequence.
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File
Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad
The configuration commands you have entered using procedures in this chapter are in the
Scratchpad but have not yet been activated. Use the following procedure to activate the
configuration commands in the scratchpad:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
3.
Enter the save active command.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before activating
any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the
changes in the scratchpad active by displaying the following message:
Do you want to make the changes Active [yes]?
4.
Enter yes or y to activate the changes.
Saving the Active Configuration to the Startup Configuration File
After you save the configuration commands in the scratchpad, the XP-2000 executes the commands
and makes the corresponding configuration changes. However, if you power down or reboot the
XP-2000, the new changes are lost. Use the following procedure to save the changes into the
Startup configuration file so that the XP-2000 reinstates the changes when you reboot the firmware.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Enter the copy active to startup command to copy the configuration changes in the Active
configuration to the Startup configuration.
The CLI displays the following message:
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]?
3.
Enter yes or y to save the changes.
Note:
You also can save active changes to the Startup configuration file from within Configure
mode by entering the save startup command.
The new configuration changes are added to the Startup configuration file stored in the XP-2000’s
boot flash.
Viewing the Current Configuration
If you want to view the current configuration:
Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
61
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Enter the following command to display the status of each command line:
system show active-config
The CLI displays the active configuration file with the following possible annotations:
–
Commands without errors are displayed without any annotation.
–
Commands with errors are annotated with an “E”.
–
If a particular command has been applied such that it can be expanded on additional
interfaces/modules, then it is annotated with a “P”. For example, if you enabled stp on all
ports in the current system, however, the XP contains only 1 module, then that particular
command could be expanded at a later date when more modules have been added to the XP.
A command like stp enable et.*.* would be displayed as follows:
P: stp enable et.*.*
indicating that it is only partially applied. If you add more modules to the XP at a later date
and then update the configuration file to encompass all of the available modules in the XP,
then the “P:” portion of the above command line would disappear when displaying this
configuration file.
If a potentially partial command, which was originally configured to encompass all of the
available modules on the XP, becomes only partially activated (after a hotswap or some
such chassis reconfiguration), then the status of that command line will automatically
change to indicate a partial completion status, complete with “P:”.
Note:
62
Commands with no annotation or annotated with a “P:” are not in error.
