Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide

This guide describes how to perform administrative tasks on the CSS, including managing and upgrading your CSS software. Table 5-2 lists the chapters and appendices in this guide, and a description of their contents and tasks.

Table 5-2 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 

Chapter	Contents/Tasks
Chapter 1, Managing the Software	•Overview of CSS system software •Creating an FTP record to access an FTP server from the CSS and how to copy files from the server •Saving configuration changes for subsequent CSS reboots. •Configuring file storage locations for a two-disk 11500 series CSS. These tasks include formatting a disk, defining which disk is the boot disk and where to save the log files and core dumps, and copying files between the disks. •Unpacking and removing an ArrowPoint Distribution Image (ADI) to a CSS disk. •Archiving files to the CSS archive directory and then restoring them. •Enabling and handling core dumps. •Displaying the system information for the CSS.
Chapter 2, Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration	•Boot setup quick start. •Accessing boot configuration mode and its commands. •Configuring a primary location from which the CSS accesses the boot image •Configuring a secondary location from which the CSS accesses the boot image when the primary boot configuration fails. •Configuring the individual components of the boot configuration record on the passive SCM installed in a CSS 11506 chassis. A passive module is a standby module in case of an active module failure. •Booting the CSS from a network drive. •Displaying the boot configuration.
Chapter 3, Configuring User Profiles	•Overview of user-profiles •User profile configuration quick start. •Configuring how to control the output to the system terminal screen including length of time that a session can be idle before the CSS terminates it, the number of output lines that the CLI displays, the --More-- prompt at the bottom of the terminal screen, how the CSS displays subnet masks, and the total amount of time a session can be logged in before the CSS terminates it. •Globally setting the total amount of time all console, Telnet, SSH or FTP sessions can be active before the CSS terminates them. •Configuring expert mode to turn the CSS confirmation capability on or off. •Changing the CLI prompt. •Modifying the size of the history buffer that stores the most recent CLI commands that you enter. •Configuring the banner that appears when you log in to the CSS. •Copy the running profile from the CSS to the default-profile file, an FTP server, a TFTP server, or your user-profile file.
Chapter 4, Using the CSS Logging Features	•Enable logging •Setting up the log buffer •Determining where to send the activity information •Displaying and interpreting log messages
Chapter 5, Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)	•Overview of SNMP and the MIB. •Preparing SNMP on the CSS. •Defining the CSS as an SNMP agent. This section includes a quick start. •Configuring special enterprise traps to notify the trap host of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on your system. This section includes a quick start. •Managing SNMP on the CSS. •SNMP traps and MIB object lists.
Chapter 6, Configuring Remote Monitoring (RMON)	•Configuring an RMOM event, alarm, and history with applicable quick starts •Displaying RMON statistics and history data, and alarm event notifications
