DFE-2600 series master hubs support a powerful configuration file which
allows many of the hub stack
configuration parameters to be stored on a
centralized server. When the master hub starts up, it can be configured to
read its configuration file from the server using the TFTP protocol. This can
make it easier to manage a large number of hub stacks, since all of the con-
figuration parameters for all of the hubs can be managed in a single place.
The configuration file is a text file, usually stored on the server with a .CFG
extension. It can be up to 10 KB long. Lines beginning with # are consid-
ered comments which are ignored by the hub. All other lines are commands,
which are interpreted by the master hub.
The configuration file commands accepted by the hub are:
♦
sysname string
Takes string as the System Name, corresponding to the SNMP MIB-II
object sysName. This field is used to assign a name to the hub for ad-
ministrative purposes. The hub
fully qualified domain name is often
used, provided a name has been assigned. The string can be up to 64
characters long.
♦
syscontact string
