F100 CONFIG – Configure NTP & SNMP
Note: Symmetricom recommends using the Web Interface (versus than F100 CONFIG) as the most conve-
nient method for editing the SNMP and NTP configuration files.
Notes:
• See "A: Using F100 Configuration" on page 235.
• NTP is an optional feature. If purchased at the same time as the XLi, it comes enabled on the
system. To purchase this option after you have purchased the XLi, contact Symmetricom Sales.
See "H: Sales and Customer Assistance" on page 295.
F100 CONFIG GET instructs the XLi unit to transfer its NTP and SNMP configuration files to an FTP
server. After editing the NTP and SNMP configuration files on the FTP server, the user transfers them
back to the XLi using the F100 CONFIG SET command.
Open a Telnet session with the XLi and enter the commands below. Replace <IP Address> with that of
the workstation/FTP Server. Leave <subdir> blank (unless you have a specific reason for placing the
files in a subdirectory of the anonymous user's home directory).
To get the NTP config files, type:
>f100 config ntp get host:<IP Address> dir:<subdir><CR>
To get the SNMP config file, type:
>f100 config snmp get host:<IP Address> dir:<subdir><CR>
To get both the SNMP and NTP config files, type:
>f100 config ntp snmp get host:<IP Address> dir:<subdir><CR>
Here's an example of a successful SNMP and NTP config file transfer:
>f100 config ntp snmp get host:192.168.0.1 dir:
Host config ip 192.168.0.1 already configured
Source file /config/snmp.conf bytes read: 1275
Dest file snmp.conf bytes written: 1275
Source file /etc/ntp.conf bytes read: 1166
Dest file ntp.conf bytes written: 1166
Source file /etc/ntp.keys bytes read: 44
Dest file ntp.keys bytes written: 44
Configuration files transferred successfully!
Note:
The following steps cause the XLi to reboot.
Using the command line, enter the commands, replacing <IP Address> with the workstation/FTP
server's IP address.
To move the NTP config files back onto the XLi, type:
