System Configuration

3.1 Hardware Management #

Hardware management is the operation of the device to ensure that it works properly during operation and that the system can run safely, stably and reliably. Hardware management mainly maintains the status of device optical modules, fans, power supply, temperature, voltage, etc.

3.1.1 View Device Status Information

3.1.2 Reboot

Must know:

• The reboot will result in an interruption of service for a short period of time , about 5 minutes.
• Before the switch reboot, if you need the current configuration to remain in effect after reboot, please make sure that the current configuration has been saved.

3.2 Software Management #

3.2.1 View Software Version

3.2.2 Basic Software Package

The base software package provides the basic capabilities for software operation, such as hardware drivers, common components, OS and accompanying boot files, and is the basis for the operation of the components and provides support for the entire device.
This series of packages uses binary files (.bin).

Must know:

• Obtaining the system software: The required version of the system software and the corresponding version of the supporting documentation must be obtained from Asterfusion company regular channels.
• Before uploading the system software: Please ensure that the storage media has sufficient storage space for the system software.

3.2.3 Update Maintenance

When the current software performance of the device no longer meets the needs of the user, the device can be updated and maintained to meet the needs of the user for performance optimisation or new features.

Before upgrading your system, please note that:

• If the CPU and memory usage is too high, please reduce the CPU and memory usage before performing the update maintenance operation.
• Back up important data in the device to be updated to avoid loss of important data due to update maintenance.
• Suspend business configuration operations to avoid failure of update maintenance due to business configuration.

3.2.4 Version Rollback

This series support the storage of two software versions and after version update, the user can rollback the version as required..

3.3 System Maintenance #

3.3.1 Connectivity Check

Ping (Packet Internet Groper) is the most common debugging tool used to check the reachability of network devices. The user performs Ping operation on the source side, causing the source to send ICMP (Internet Control Packet Protocol) Echo packets to the destination, and the destination to reply to the source with ICMP Echo response packets upon receipt of the packets. The Ping operation allows you to check whether the remote device is reachable, the round-trip delay when communicating with the remote device and the loss of ICMP Echo packets.

When network services are unavailable, users can use the Ping operation to check the reachability of the device and facilitate analysis to locate the location of network faults.

3.3.2 Route Trace

Traceroute is a tool used to detect the number of gateways passed between the host that sent the packet and the destination host. The user performs the Traceroute operation at the source end to make the source send UDP packets with different TTL field values to the destination end. Each node in the path will reply to the source end with ICMP timeout packets after receiving the packets with TTL reduced to 0. The destination end will reply to the source end with ICMP port unavailable packets after receiving the packets with TTL reduced to 0, and the test is complete. The Traceroute operation allows you to check whether each hop on the path is reachable and the round-trip delay when communicating with each hop.
