Overview

Introduction

MSR 50 Routers were self-developed by our company for use on enterprise-level networks. Depending on the network size, MSR 50 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 50

Routers are suitable for the application on the carrier-level networks, such as telecom management networks and billing networks. MSR 50 Routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional interface cards and service modules, including flexible interface card (FIC), smart interface card

(SIC), multi-service card A (MSCA), multi-service card B (MSCB), enhanced service module (ESM), voice processing module (VPM) and voice co-processing module (VCPM).

The MSR 50-40 routers are 3U in height and the MSR 50-60 are 4U in height. Slot 0 provided on the front panel of both the two models is for the main control board, which can be MPUF or MPU-G2 respectively. MSCA or MSCB can be installed in the MSC slot provided on the backplane to provide a variety of security and voice services, where MSCA works in conjunction with MPUF while MSCB works with MPU-G2.

Base on power supply mode, the MSR 50-40 and MSR 50-60 each have three models: AC, DC, and PoE power supply. You can choose to use a DC or AC power supply unit (PSU) as the system power supply, or install two AC or two DC PSUs to form 1+1 redundancy backup. You can also install a PoE power module to work in conjunction with the AC or DC PSU to provide remote power supply for powered devices (PDs).

The PSUs, fan trays, and FICs of MSR 50 routers are all hot swappable.

Currently, the MSR 50 include these models:

NOTE:

Boot ROM stores the Bootstrap for booting the router.

Communication data between the system and the CPU is stored in the memory when the system is running.

The CF card is used to store the software system and configuration file. The CF card LED blinks when the system is reading/writing data from/to the CF card. In this case, do not remove the CF card; otherwise hardware and software damage may occur.

NOTE:

The figures above illustrate the components of a router with MPUF installed. No SIC slots are provided if an MPU-G2 is applied on the router.

Generic Modules

The MSR 50 is available with generic modules such as SIC and FIC interface cards. For detailed information about interface cards, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

For the types of interface modules that each model of the MSR 50 routers can accommodate, refer to

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

Module Manual.

Currently, the MSR 50 routers primarily support the main boards MPUF and MPU-G2. See details as follows.

MPUF/MPU-G2

Functions

As the core of the router, the MPUF/MPU-G2 functions to process protocols, forward low-speed packets, govern interfaces, and detect faults. You can gather information about the operating state of FAN module,

PSU, and system by reading their corresponding LEDs on the main control board; alternatively, you can monitor state using a network management system. In addition, the main control board provides a hardware reset button: RESET. Each MPUF provides four SIC slots for extending the access capabilities.

An MPU-G2 delivers improved process capabilities without offering any SIC slots.

PSU

Functions

The power supply system of the MSR 50 can work in either single-power or dual-power mode. In dual-power mode, the two PSUs (DC-input or AC-input) function in redundancy backup mode. That means, when a PSU fails or its power supply is disconnected, another PSU can still work and supply all the power required by the system.

You can connect a PSU to the backplane by inserting it from the rear of the router chassis. It is hot swappable and its switchover does not affect the ongoing system operation.

NOTE:

When installing your router in a communications equipment room, ensure that the AC power distribution cabinet can provide a lightning protection box or arrester against the current of 20 KA and above.

MPU-G2 does not support any PoE power module.

FAN Module

Functions

The MSR 50-40 is configured with six fans; the MSR 50-60 is configured with eight fans. These fans are working in pairs and the two fans in each pair are working in redundancy. When all these fans are working normally, the operating temperature of the system can be maintained between 0°C and 55°C

(32°F to 131°F). As the failure of a fan does not affect the operation of other fans, the normal operating

13

temperature of the system can maintain. The routing speed of the fans is adjusted by the fan controller on the main control board and between 50% and 100% depending on the system temperature. When the system temperature rises above the high-temperature threshold set by the fan controller, the fans are rotating at full speed (100%); when the system temperature drops below the low-temperature threshold, the fans are rotating only at half of the speed (50%). When a fan stops rotating, the fan controller alarms.

The alarm and state LEDs of the FAN are located on the front panel of MPUF.

Appearance

The following figure shows a FAN module, taking MSR 50-60 for example.

SIC/DSIC and FIC/DFIC Interface Cards

MSR 50 routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional SIC/DSIC and FIC/DFIC interface cards, providing various interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface,

Ethernet interface, E1/T1, ISDN BRI/PRI, ADSL, audio interface, Layer 2 switching interface, and so on.

For details about the interface cards, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

NOTE:

For an MSR 50 router, SIC-4FSW/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I can only be installed in Slot 2 or Slot

4 on the MPUF.

Interface cards that support PoE can be used for remote power supply only if they are installed on the

PoE models; otherwise, the interface cards that support PoE can only function as normal switching modules if they are used on non-PoE models.

Installation Preparations

Requirements on Environment

The MSR 50 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 50 are shown in the following table:

Table 12 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room

Temperature

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Relative humidity (noncondensing)

5% to 90%

Requirements on Cleanness

Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result in static absorption, thus 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 are shown in the following table:

Table 13 Limitation on dust content in equipment room

Diameter (μm)

Concentration (particle/m³) 1.4 × 107 7 × 105 2.4 × 105 1.3 × 105

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

Requirements on Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

Although many antistatic considerations have been given to MSR 50, 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 removed circuit board on the antistatic workbench, with its face upward, or put it into the static shielding bag.

When observing or moving the removed 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 50 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.

17

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 50 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 50 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, please 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).

Installing Generic Modules

Installing generic modules includes installing the main control board, PSUs, the FAN module, and FICs.

For more information about the main control board, PSUs, FAN module 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 correct connection of the protection ground (PGND) cable on the router chassis is an essential safeguard against lightning strokes and EMI. You need to correctly connect the PGND cable 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.

The grounding screw of MSR 50 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:

22

Figure 18 PGND screw of the router

Use a PGND cable 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 grounded. Otherwise, the router cannot reliably avoid lightning, which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.

Connecting the Power Cord

Based on power supply mode, the MSR 50-40 and MSR 50-60 each have two models: DC, AC. You can choose suitable models as needed.

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 power cord

Step1

Make sure that the PGND is securely connected to the earth ground.

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.

Place the power switch of the router to the ON position.

Check that the PWR LED on the front panel of the router is on for correct connection.

NOTE:

The fiber-optic and electrical connections that a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface provides cannot be used at the same time. If both connections are present, you can configure which connection takes effect through commands. By default, the electrical connection works.

MDI (media dependent interface) is a typical type of Ethernet interface provided by network adapters.

MDIX is crossover media-dependent interface, which is commonly found on a Hub or LAN switch.

MDI/MDIX autosensing is supported by the fixed 1000 Mbps electrical interface on the MSR 50 main control board.

Ethernet cable

1.

Electrical Ethernet interface cable

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

Figure 23 Ethernet cable

Ethernet cables fit into the following two categories:

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.

NOTE:

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 SFPs. As the interfaces that these SFP modules provide use LC-type fiber-optic connectors, you must use fibers with LC-type connectors for them. All these

SFPs are hot swappable.

NOTE:

SFPs are optional. They are provided only when ordered.

Connecting the Ethernet cable

NOTE:

The fiber-optic and electrical connections that a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface provides cannot operate at the same time. If both connections are present, the system considers the optical interface as the operating interface by default.

28

1.

Connecting 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 10/100/1000 Mbps port, 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 the 100 M management Ethernet interface that does not support MDI/MDIX autosensing, use a crossover cable to connect it.

Step2

View the LINK LED of the Ethernet interface: ON means a link is present. OFF means no link is present; check the line for the cause

2.

Connecting optical Ethernet interface cable

CAUTION:

When 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.

Step2

WARNING!

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

Step1

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

Use two fibers to connect the Rx and Tx ends of the interface to another device: Rx to Tx, and Tx to Rx.

Power on the router and view the LINK LED of the Ethernet interface. ON means the Rx 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.

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.

29

Figure 24 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 control 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 Card Module

The MSR 50 Routers are available with various types of interface card modules. For detailed information, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual.

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 DFIC, you only need to uninstall the rail and install the module. The rail may deviate out of external force when you install a DFIC, thus the DFIC on the other side cannot be installed normally. You can right the rail manually and then install the DFIC normally.

When installing a DFIC, it is recommended that you fasten the release screw first and then install the

DFIC M on the other side of the rail.

Removing Slide Rail

Configuration Fundamentals

Step1

In general, the configuration steps are as follows:

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

Step3

Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.

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

Step5

Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the division of the subnets.

Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user should configure the related operating parameters of the protocol.

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

Step6

Step7

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

Please see MSR Serious 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 50 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.

38

Command line interface

The command line interface of MSR 50 Routers provides plenty of configuration commands. They are divided in system view into multiple groups, each associated 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 all views.

Arranging Slots and Numbering Interfaces

Slot arrangement

The MSR 50 provides many types of interfaces, such as Console, AUX, Ethernet, serial

(synchronous/asynchronous), and asynchronous port. The following describes how these interfaces are numbered.

Figure 35 Slot arrangement on the MSR 50-40

(1) Slot 0

(4) Slot 3

(7) Slot 6

(2) Slot 1

(5) Slot 4

(9) Slot 8

The MSR 50 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, ATM, and so on; X specifies the slot number; and Y specifies the interface sequence.

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

For every interface, Y starts from 0, indicating the interface sequence on the interface module, from left to right.

If you install an FIC-1FE and an FIC-2FE respectively in SLOT5 and SLOT6 on the MSR 50-40, the Ethernet interfaces are numbered as follows:

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

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

Software Maintenance

Introduction

Files

BootWare program file

The file is used 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 Maintaining Application and Configuration Files on page 62

.

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

Table 22 Default names and types of the boot files

Boot file

Main boot file

Backup boot file

Secure boot file

File name main.bin backup.bin secure.bin

B

S

File type

M

41

NOTE:

The application programs for system boot can be type M, B and S, but not type N. You can store them in Flash memory, but only one for each. For example, if an M+B file exists, it is impossible to have another M or B file. If you change the file type of another file to B, the M+B file becomes a type M file.

You can modify the name of an application file in the storage medium after the application file is loaded. You cannot modify the file type of a type S application file, but you can modify the file type of type M/B and N application files in the BootWare menu or using commands after the application program boots.

Secure boot file is the last resort for system boot. You can download it in the BootWare menu and must 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 memory, there will be no type M or B file. If you change 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 started. To change the sequence of these configuration files or modify them, refer to

Maintaining Application and Configuration Files on page 62

.

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 not non-default configuration file of type N (i.e. neither M nor B).

You can modify the file name of a configuration file in storage 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 using commands after the configuration file is loaded.

42

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 length; or, errors will 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.

Upload/download an application and configuration file from a TFTP/FTP server via command lines.

NOTE:

The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Blinux application program. You do not need to upgrade the BootWare separately. When upgrading the Blinux program, the system checks whether the running BootWare version is consistent with that in the updating host application program. If inconsistent, the system asks whether to upgrade the BootWare. If you make no choice within one second, the system upgrades the BootWare automatically.

When the flexible interface platform (FIP) starts, it automatically checks the running BootWare version.

If the current version is inconsistent with the version used on the FIP, the system upgrades the BootWare automatically.

Check the current version of BootWare and application program before upgrade. For the version configuration information, see the corresponding

Release Notes.

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

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

Interface on page 55

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

44

Figure 38 Network diagram for maintenance through command lines

Configure the IP addresses of both sides on the same network. For example, the IP address of the TFTP server is set to 192.168.1.1, and that of the Ethernet interface connected to it (GigabitEthernet 0/0 in this example) is set to 192.168.1.2. 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:

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

<SYSTEM>

Make sure that the configured startup file is correct, and then use the reboot command to reboot the device:

46

<SYSTEM>reboot

Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.........DONE!

This command will reboot the device. Current configuration may be lost in next startup if you continue. Continue? [Y/N]:y

After the device is rebooted, use the display boot-loader command to view the startup file information of the device to make sure that the current application of the device is msr.bin.

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 upgrade 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.

Step1

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 H3C MSR 20-1X routers. In the following example, the FTP client application program is the built-in Windows XP FTP client.

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

47

Figure 39 Maintain the router serving as the server

Ethernet cable

Router

TFTP/FTP Server

Console cable

PC

TFTP/FTP Client

Step2

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 (GigabitEthernet

0/0) is set to 192.168.1.2. Use the ping command to check the connectivity.

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.

48

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 40 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.

49

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 (GigabitEthernet

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 cfa0:/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

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 41 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.

CAUTION:

No TFTP/FTP Server is shipped with the MSR 50 routers.

57

CAUTION:

If the input file name is the same as the original one in the Flash memory, the system prompts that “The file is exist, will you overwrite it? [Y/N]”. Enter Y to overwrite the original file. The new application program file will then overwrite the original file of this type, ensuring the uniqueness of the application program on the device.

Make sure the available space in the memory is sufficient. Or, the system prompts “The free space isn't enough!”

The file updated will directly overwrite the original file of this type to become the only application program. The file downloaded here will overwrite the original M file and become the main boot program.

For details of file types, refer to

Files on page 41

.

You can set the main or backup attribute only for the startup file in the root directory of the device.

Upgrading BootWare Through Ethernet Interface

You can also upgrade the BootWare through Ethernet interface. Enter 4 in the BootWare submenu, and the system displays:

==================<BOOTWARE OPERATION ETHERNET SUB-MENU>==================

|<1> Update Full BootWare |

|<2> Update Extend BootWare |

|<3> Update Basic BootWare |

|<0> Exit To Main Menu |

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

Enter your choice(0-4):

Before upgrading, enter 4 in the menu to configuring Ethernet parameters. For details, refer to

Configuring Ethernet Interface Parameters on page 55

. Then you can select to upgrade full BootWare, 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.

58

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 42 Disconnect terminal

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

59

Figure 43 Modify baud rate

Select Call > Call to establish a new connection.

Figure 44 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 that 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 50

) to enter the

BootWare operation submenu, through which all BootWare operations are performed. For details, refer

to BootWare Submenus on page 52

.

The following example illustrates how to upgrade the full BootWare:

60

Enter 3 in the BootWare operation menu. The system displays:

===================<BOOTWARE OPERATION SERIAL SUB-MENU>===================

|<1> Update Full BootWare |

|<2> Update Extend BootWare |

|<3> Update Basic BootWare |

|<4> Modify Serial Interface Parameter |

|<0> Exit To Main Menu |

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

Enter your choice(0-4):

Enter 1, and the system displays:

Please Start To Transfer File, Press <Ctrl+C> To Exit.

Waiting ...CC

Select Transfer > Send file in the HyperTerminal window. The following window appears:

Figure 45 Send file dialog box

Click Browse… to select the application program file to be downloaded, and select XModem for the

Protocol field. Then click Send. The following interface appears:

Figure 46 Sending file interface

Upon completion of downloading, the following information appears, indicating that download and upgrade succeeds:

Download successfully!

425045 bytes downloaded!

Change the baud rate of the console terminal from 115200 bps to 9600 bps, and then reboot the router.

61

NOTE:

The file name, size and path vary in different situations. Before upgrading, check the current version of

BootWare and application program.

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

Upgrading the extended BootWare involves only a segment of BootWare. Once an error occurs, you can re-upgrade BootWare.

Upgrading an Application Program through a

Serial Interface

Upgrading an application program through a serial interface is implemented under the serial submenu.

Enter 2 in the main BootWare menu to enter the serial interface submenu: For details, refer to BootWare

Submenus on page 52

.

The following example illustrates how to upgrade a main application program.

First, change the baud rate of the serial interface to speed up upgrading (refer to Modifying Serial

Interface Parameters on page 59

for details). Then enter 2 in the serial interface submenu. The system displays:

Please Start To Transfer File, Press <Ctrl+C> To Exit.

Waiting ...CC

Select an application program file and send it. The procedure for upgrading an application program through a serial interface is similar to that for upgrading BootWare. For the detailed procedure, see

Upgrading BootWare

on page

60

.

NOTE:

Generally an application program is more than 10 MB in size. Even if the baud rate is changed to

115200 bps, it usually takes about 30 minutes to upgrade an application program. Therefore, you are recommended to upgrade an application program through an Ethernet interface.

Maintaining Application and Configuration Files

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.

64

Step2

The system prompts the setting succeeds.

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.

Step4

NOTE:

After reboot, the system runs the initial default configuration, but the original configuration file is stored in the Flash memory. To restore the original configuration, you can use the display saved-configuration 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 view 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.

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

Replacing Memory Bar

This section describes how to replace a memory bar. See the following flow.

Figure 57 Memory bar maintenance flow

Memory bars are main board components that you can expand or upgrade as needed. Generally, you need to do that in the following situations:

More memory is required when upgrading application program, maintaining a large routing table, or processing tasks that consume large memory.

The existing Memory bar is damaged.

73

CAUTION:

Hold the memory bar by its edge and avoid touching the components on its surface. An improper operation might result in damage.

It is normal that you feel hard when removing the memory bar, but do not overexert.

Use the memory bars provided by Technology only. Otherwise, anomalies might occur to the device.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Power System

Symptom:

The PWR LED RUN is OFF or blinking.

Solution:

Check that:

The power switch on the router is turned on.

The switch of the power source is turned on.

The power cord is correctly connected.

The power source meets the requirement of the router. If the PSU is DC-input, check the AC/DC OK LED: steady ON means the input voltage is normal, and OFF means the input voltage is abnormal.

Troubleshooting the Configuration System

If the router passes POST after powered on, the console screen displays the startup banner; if faults occur to the configuration system, the console screen displays nothing or only illegible characters.

Symptom 1:

After the router is powered on, the console screen displays nothing.

Solution:

Step 1: Check that:

The power system is normal.

The console cable is correctly connected.

Step 2: Check the console cable and the terminal (HyperTerminal for example) settings.

Symptom 2:

After the router is powered on, the console screen displays illegible characters.

Solution:

Verify that the terminal settings are as follows:

Baud: 9600;

Data bits: 8;

Stop bit: 1;

Parity: None;

Flow control: None;

Terminal emulation: VT100.

Reconfigure the parameters if their values are different.

78

Troubleshooting Application Software Upgrade

Symptom 1:

When upgrading the Comware software using TFTP/FTP, the system displays:

=========================<ETHERNET PARAMETER SET>=========================

|Note: '.' = Clear field. |

| '-' = Go to previous field. |

| Ctrl+D = Quit. |

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

Protocol (FTP or TFTP) :tftp ftp

Load File Name :host

:

Target File Name :target

:

Server IP Address :192.168.1.1

Local IP Address :192.168.1.253

Gateway IP Address :0.0.0.0

FTP User Name :user

FTP User Password :password

Loading...Failed!

Solution:

Fault occurs because the source file does not exist, the network cable is not connected, or the IP address of the PC is incorrect. Make sure that the source file is in the TFTP/FTP root directory, the cable is connected securely, and the IP address is set correctly.

Symptom 2:

When upgrading the Comware software using TFTP, the system displays:

=========================<ETHERNET PARAMETER SET>=========================

|Note: '.' = Clear field. |

| '-' = Go to previous field. |

| Ctrl+D = Quit. |

79

11487495 bytes downloaded.

Something wrong with the file.

Solution:

Fault occurs because an incorrect application file is downloaded. Download the correct application program file.

NOTE:

The bar code labels on the chassis and the FICs contain information about production and servicing.

Before you ask your agent for servicing, provide its bar code.

The system does not display the host name and gateway parameters when upgrading if you did not set them. Thus, the display information on your side will be a little different from the above symptom information.
