This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration explanations and examples to configure SR OS boot option file (BOF), file system and system management functions. Also provided are concepts and descriptions of the Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and command usage.
Unless otherwise specified, the topics and commands described in this document apply to the:
7450 ESS applicability statements refer to the 7450 ESS when it is not running in mixed mode. 7750 SR applicability statements refer to the 7750 SR-7/12, 7750 SR-12e, 7750 SR-a4/a8 and 7750 SR-e1/e2/e3 platforms unless otherwise specified.
Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ depending on supported functionality and user configuration.
This guide is intended for network administrators who are responsible for configuring the routers. It is assumed that the network administrators have an understanding of networking principles and configurations. Concepts described in this guide include the following:
This chapter provides process flow information to configure basic router and system parameters, perform operational functions with directory and file management, and boot option tasks.
Table 1 lists the tasks necessary to configure boot option files (BOF) and system and file management functions. Each chapter in this book is presented in an overall logical configuration flow. Each section describes a software area and provides CLI syntax and command usage to configure parameters for a functional area. After the hardware installation has been properly completed, proceed with the SR-series router configuration tasks in the following order:
Area | Task | Chapter |
CLI Usage | The CLI structure | |
Basic CLI commands | ||
Configure environment commands | ||
Configure monitor commands | ||
Operational functions | Directory and file management | |
Boot options | Configure boot option files (BOF) | |
System configuration | Configure system functions, including host name, address, domain name, and time parameters. | |
