Using An Image File's Md5 Checksum To Verify Its Integrity; Deleting A File - Nortel 2360 Configuration Manual

To copy file corpa-login.html from a TFTP server into subdirectory corpa in a WSS's nonvolatile storage, type the
following command:
WSS# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/corpa-login.html corpa/corpa-login.html
success: received 637 bytes in 0.253 seconds [ 2517 bytes/sec]

Using an image file's MD5 checksum to verify its integrity

If you download an image file from the Nortel support site and install it in a switch's boot partition, you can verify that
the file has not been corrupted while being copied.
md5 [boot0: | boot1:]filename
To verify an image file's integrity:
1
Download the image file from the Nortel support site onto a TFTP server, and use the CLI copy tftp
command on the WSS to copy the image onto the switch's nonvolatile storage.
2
On the Nortel support site, click on the MD5 link next to the link for the image file, to display the MD5
checksum for the file. Here is an example:
b9cf7f527f74608e50c70e8fb896392a
3
On the WSS, use the dir command to display the contents of nonvolatile storage.
4
Enter a command such as the following to calculate the checksum for the file:
pubs# md5 boot0:NT504103.001
MD5 (boot0:NT504103.001) = b9cf7f527f74608e50c70e8fb896392a
Note.
you must specify boot0:NT504103.001. If you specify only NT504103.001, the CLI
displays a message stating that the file does not exist.
5
Compare the checksum on the support site with the checksum calculated by the WSS. If they match, then
the file has not been corrupted.
6
If you have not already done so, use the set boot partition command to configure the
the partition containing the new image.
7
Use the reset system [force] command to restart the switch using the new image.

Deleting a file

deleting the file.
You must include the boot partition name in the filename. For example,
