Configurations

This document uses these procedures:

Save the Current Configuration

Complete these steps to save the current MGX configuration:

  1. Use the savellancf command to save the configuration file to a Processor Switch Module (PXM) hard drive.

    saveallcnf
    PXM.a > saveallcnf
    
    In order to verify the saved configuration you need to go into "CNF" directory.
    The configuration will be saved in “.zip” format, as shown below.
    
    PXM.a> cd "CNF"
    PXM.a > ll
    
    size          	date       	time       name
    --------       ------     	------    --------
    
     512    	JUN-19-2001  09:47:42   .                
     512    	JUN-19-2001  09:47:42   ..                
     431092    	OCT-31-2001  18:00:42   8250-1_1031011800.zip      
     1257948    	JUN-25-2001  17:20:24   mgxsnw00_13_130_24_0622012202  
     512    	JUN-26-2001  16:19:36   TMP

  2. Use the mv command to move the configuration file to the root directory "C:" so that you are able to FTP the file from the PXM hard drive.

    mv
    PXM.a > mv  8250-1_1031011800.zip C:/ 8250-1_1031011800.zip
    PXM.a > ll
    
      size          date       time       name
    --------       ------     ------    --------

Copy the Core Dump File to Your Workstation

You must use FTP on your workstation to download the .zip file (Trivial FTP has a 16 MB file-size limit). You must enable a login user name first to enable FTP on MGX. Complete these steps to copy the core dump file to your workstation:

  1. Log on to the MGX node.

  2. Type shellConn and setLogin to set the user name to cisco and the password to ciscoinc.

    shellConn
    PXM.a > shellConn
    
    -> setLogin
    
    setLogin
    
      User Name
    
      =========
    
      cisco          
    
    value = 0 = 0x0

  3. Use the FTP application on your workstation to log in to the MGX and download the .zip file; ensure that you use binary mode.

    ftp
    svplus% ftp 172.192.150.30
    
    Connected to 172.16.156.41.
    220 VxWorks (5.3.1) FTP server ready

    ciscoinc

    ftp> get 8250-1_1031011800.zip
    200 Port set okay
    150 Opening BINARY mode data connection
    226 Transfer complete
    local: 8250-1_1031011800.zip remote: 8250-1_1031011800.zip
    431092 bytes received in 0.85 seconds (4.9e+02 Kbytes/s)
    
    ftp> bye    
    
    svplus% ls                        
    
    8250-1_1031011800.zip
    

  4. Use the clrLogin command from shellConn to disable the FTP application after the .zip file is uploaded.
