The CyberSWITCH software provides:
•
system software for the CyberSWITCH, LAN and WAN interfaces, and administration
functions
• system files containing configuration and operational information
This chapter provides an overview for each of the above software categories.
S YSTEM SOFTWARE
Included with each CyberSWITCH is a CD containing upgrade software and utility software. (Note
that initial system software is factory-installed). The following system software files are available
on the CD:
upgrade.osw
All the system files needed for upgrading the CyberSWITCH are combined in this file.
defltcfg.osw
All of the system files needed to return your system configuration to the factory default are
combined in this file.
S YSTEM F ILES
The CyberSWITCH uses a flash file system (instead of a hard disk) and a two-stage boot device to
initialize the platform and download the system software. The flash file system basically performs
the same as a hard disk, but it has no drive letter. Just as on a hard disk, the flash file has directories
with files.
C ONFIGURATION F ILES
The configuration files store the configuration data. These files are located in the system’s
\config directory. You can maintain these files by using the CFGEDIT configuration utility,
which is delivered with the system. You can also make changes to these files through Manage
Mode.
The configuration files associated with the system are:
network.nei
This configuration file contains information about the switched network.
devdb.nei
This file contains the On-node Device Database configuration information about each remote
device.
