Managing Configuration and Image Files

Managing Configuration and Image Files
Matrix Series devices provide a single configuration interface which allows you to perform both
switch and router configuration with the same command set. The device also provides redundant,
distributed copies of each image file in the event that DFE modules are added or removed from
the Matrix chassis. When managing configuration and image files on the Matrix Series device, it is
important to remember the following considerations:
• All modules will have the same image files loaded. If a module is inserted into a chassis, any
images unique to that module will be deleted, and any images not on that module will be
copied to it.
• Configuration files are stored per slot, with each slot in the chassis carrying unique files with
it and not inheriting files.
The Matrix Series devices now support a script feature that allows you to execute a previously
created script file containing CLI commands, and at the time of execution, enter optional
arguments that modify the actions of the commands. This feature is intended to simplify the
configuration of ports and VLANs, by creating script files containing groups of commands that
you want to run on the same port‐string or VLAN id. At the time of execution, you pass in the
port‐string, VLAN id, and any other required arguments that you want the commands to operate
on. Refer to the script command, "script" on page 2‐88.
The following section describes the command set for managing both switch and router
configuration.
For details on performing a basic routing configuration (while operating in router mode), refer to
"Performing a Basic Router Configuration" on page 16‐11.
For details on downloading a new firmware image, refer to "Downloading a New Firmware
