Chapter 3 Getting Started
This document is intended to aid you with quick installation and set-up of a new S60 system.
• For complete information regarding the configuration of the S60 and FTOS features, refer to the FTOS
Configuration Guide for the S60 and the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide for the S60.
The system then loads FTOS and boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
For details on using the Command Line Interface (CLI), see the Fundamentals chapter in the FTOS
Configuration Guide for the S60.
Console access
The S60 has 2 management ports available for system access: a serial console port and a USB-B port. The
USB-B ports acts exactly as the console port.
By default, the S60 sends system messages to the serial console port. However, only one console connection can be active at a time. When both the serial console port and the USB-B port are connected, the system defaults to the USB-B port. The console connection is considered inactive if the USB-B port is also connected.
You can switch between console connections by physically connecting or disconnecting the cables. A system message is displayed on the serial console prior to switching to the USB-B console. When the
USB-B cable is detached, the system returns to the serial console default.

CONFIGURATION
Access the System Remotely
You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The method for configuring the C-Series and
E-Series for Telnet access is different from S-Series.
• The C-Series and E-Series have a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
• The S-Series does not have a dedicated management port, but is managed from any port. It does not have a separate management routing table.
Access the C-Series and E-Series and the S60 Remotely
Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process:
14 Getting Started
1. Configure an IP address for the management port. See
Configure the Management Port IP Address
.
2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. See Configure a Management Route

Configure the Enable Password
Access the EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. The EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a basic security measure. There are two types of enable passwords:
• enable password stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration in using a stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Force10 recommends using the enable secret password.
To configure an enable password:
Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
enable [password | secret] [ level level ] [ encryption-type ] password level is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required.

• 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
• 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a DES hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration file of another Force10 system.
• 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration file of another Force10 system.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the system from the EXEC Privilege mode.
S60 Quick Start Guide 17
The E-Series EtherScale platform architecture uses MMC cards for both the internal and external Flash memory. MMC cards support a maximum of 100 files. The E-Series TeraScale and ExaScale platforms architecture use Compact Flash for the internal and external Flash memory. It has a space limitation but does not limit the number of files it can contain.
Note: Using flash memory cards in the system that have not been approved by Force10 can cause unexpected system behavior, including a reboot.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy
source-file-url destination-file-url .
Note: See the FTOS Command Reference for a detailed description of the copy command.
• To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination
syntax for a remote file location shown in Table 2 .
• To copy a remote file to Force10 system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination syntax for a local file location shown in

Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change, but only if both RPMs are running the same version of FTOS.
• When copying to a server, a hostname can only be used if a DNS server is configured.
• The usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only.

Save the Running-configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Force10 recommends that you copy your running-configuration to the startup-configuration. The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the internal flash on the primary
RPM by default, but it can be saved onto an external flash (on an RPM) or a remote server.
To save the running-configuration:
Note: The commands in this section follow the same format as those in
System on page 18 but use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These
commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.

Command Syntax Command Mode show file rpm { 0|1 } flash://filename show file rpm { 0|1 } slot0://filename EXEC Privilege show running-config show startup-config
View Configuration Files
you track the last time any user made a change to the file, which user made the changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.
In the running-configuration file, if there is a difference between the timestamp on the “Last configuration change,” and “Startup-config last updated,” then you have made changes that have not been saved and will not be preserved upon a system reboot.

File System Management
The Force10 system can use the internal Flash, external Flash, or remote devices to store files. It stores files on the internal Flash by default but can be configured to store files elsewhere.
To view file system information:
Task
View information about each file system.
Command Syntax show file-systems
Command Mode
EXEC Privilege
The output of the command show file-systems
) shows the total capacity, amount of free memory, file structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.

View command history
The command-history trace feature captures all commands entered by all users of the system with a time stamp and writes these messages to a dedicated trace log buffer. The system generates a trace message for each executed command. No password information is saved to the file.
To view the command-history trace, use the show command-history command, as shown in Figure 487 .
