instructions of files system

configure ethernet IP address

configure default router

use “PING” to test network connecting state

startup from a file by hand

 

When turn on the router's switch ,it displays:(take 1700 as an example)

System Bootstrap, Version 0.1.5,Serial num:R1000188

Copyright (c) 2000 by Shanghai Baud Data Communication CO. LTD.

D-Link 1700 Processor PPC860T @ 50Mhz

The current time: 2000-3-2 3:25:33

Please wait system check ram......

Then, enter “aaa”,you can enter system monitor state. When display as follows:

Check ram OK

                            Welcome to D-Link Multi-Protocol 1700 Router

monitor#

It shows that you have successfully entered  into system monitor state.

Note: because system monitor state has maximal right, a mistake operation will cause system failure. Because of this, only the terminal connecting to console interface can enter such a state.

You can fulfill jobs as follows in system monitor state: 

1.  Management of files system, including adding, deleting, because router's software and configurations of router are kept in files, user can update or delete software and configurations.

2,  configure Ethernet  IP address

3, use “PING” to test network connecting state

4,  startup from a file by hand

Now, we will discuss how to use instructions in system monitor state in details. 

management of files system

Name of the file in FLASH can have 20 characters at most, and you do not need to pay attention to whether need “ capital”.

instructions of files system

“Black” part of all instructions is key word, others are parameters. Part of [ ] is optional.

format

You can format files system, delete all data. 

 

dir  [ile name]

show names of  file and catalog . part in [ ] means that display files whose name begins with [ ].

The format of displaying file is follow:

Index number   file name   <FILE>    length of file   creating time   

delete  filename

Delete a file, if it is not exist, it will prompt “this file does not exist”.

update software

User can use this instruction to download router system software from local or remote sever to update your software or get the special version you have customed. ( like data encryption).

There are two ways to update softwares in system monitor state.

A, by TFTP negotiation

    monitor#copy tftp<:filename> flash <:filename> [ip_addr]

This instruction is used to copy files from tftp server to system flash, after entering instruction, there will be a prompt to let user input remote server name and remote file name. 

parameter  explain:

tftp<:filename> 

read files from tftp server. Filename shows the corresponding file name, if not , after executing “copy”, there will be a prompt to let user input file name. 

flash <:filename>

 write files to router flash. Filename shows the corresponding file name, if not , after executing “copy”, there will be a prompt to let user input file name. 

ip_addr

Tftp IP address of server. If not, after executing “copy”, there will be a prompt to let user input file name.

 

For an example:

read ”main.bin”file from server, write to router” “router.bin”

monitor#copy tftp flash:router.bin

prompt: Remote-server ip address[]?192.168.0.116

prompt: Name of remote file to read[]?main.bin

TFTP:successfully receive 36 blocks ,18370 bytes

monitor#

B. by serial communication negotiation zmodem

if you want to update software, adopt”download”.enter”download?”,you can get some help.

monitor#download  c0  <local_filename>

This instruction is used to copy files to system flash by serial communication negotiation, after entering instruction, there will be a prompt to let user input interface speed. 

parameter explains

Local_filename    which is the file name used to save to flash, user must input file name.

for an example

The terminal program can adopt Hyper Terminal in WINDOWS 95, NT 4.0 or terminal emulate program in WINDOWS 3.X. 

monitor#download c0 router.bin

 prompt : speed[9600]?115200

then, change speed to 115200, after reconnecting , choose” send file” on transportation menu in Hyper Terminal(terminal emulate) .then, a dialogue window will appear, as below photo:

Enter full path of main.bin ( provide by our company) in file name input frame, choose “Zmodem”, press “send” button to send files.

After file transportation , there will appear information as follows:

ZMODEM:successfully receive 36 blocks ,18370 bytes

monitor#

It shows that you have successfully upgrade your software.

upgrade configurations

The configurations of router save as file, the file name is startup-config, User can use instructions like software upgrading to upgrade configurations.

A.  By TFTP negotiation

monitor#copy tftp flash:startup-config

B.by serial interface communication negotiation

monitor#download  c0  flash:startup-config

 

configure ethernet IP address

monitor#ip address <ip_addr> <net_mask>

    This instruction is used to configure Ethernet IP address, default is 192.168.0.1,

Network mask is 255.255.255.0

parameter explain

ip_addr   Ethernet IP adderss

net_mask Ethernet network mark

for an example

monitor#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

 

configure default router

monitor#ip route default <ip_addr>

This instruction is used to configure default router, it can configure only one default router. 

parameter explain

ip_addr    IP address of gateway

For an example

monitor#ip route default 192.168.1.1

 

use “PING” to test network connecting state

monitor#ping  <ip_address>

This instruction is used to test network connecting state.

parameter explain

ip_address        target IP address

 for an example

monitor#ping 192.168.0.100

    Reply from 192.168.0.100 : data=48, time=10ms, ttl=128

Reply from 192.168.0.100 : data=48, time=10ms, ttl=128

Reply from 192.168.0.100 : data=48, time=10ms, ttl=128

Reply from 192.168.0.100 : data=48, time=10ms, ttl=128

4 packets sent, 4 packets received

round-trip min/avg/max = 0/2/10 ms

startup from a file by hand

monitor#boot flash <local_filename>

This instruction is used to startup some router software in FLASH, There are maybe many router softwares in FLASH. 

PARAMETER EXPLAIN

local_filename    file name saved to FLASH, user must input file name.

For an example

monitor#boot flash router.bin
