HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

1 Logging In to the System for the First Time

1.1 Introduction to Log In to the Device for the First Time


A user can log in to the router that is powered on for the first time through the console port or by the plug-and-play function to configure the router.

Log in to the router through the console port


The console port is a linear port on the main control board. Each main control board provides one console port that conforms to the EIA/TIA-232 standard and whose type is DCE. The serial interface of a terminal can be directly connected to the console port on the router. Users can then configure the router on the terminal.
NOTE

When a device is powered on for the first time, you must log in to the device through the console port. It is a prerequisite for other login modes. For example, the IP address for Telnet login must be configured by logging in to the device through the console port.

Log in to the router by the plug-and-play function


NOTE

The plug-and-play function only can be configured on the X1 , X2 and X3 models of the NE80E/40E.

During site deployment, the routers reside far away from the equipment room. Sending software commissioning engineers to deploy the network at the site is quite costly. After the plug-andplay function is enabled, however, the router automatically obtains an IP address. Software commissioning engineers are able to remotely deliver configurations to the router through the NMS after installation personnel finishes hardware installation. This greatly simplifies installation and reduces costs with minimized site visits. The plug-and-play function is controlled by a PAF file and users do not need to configure it manually. This function is automatically disabled after the router correctly obtains an IP address.

1.2 Logging In to the Device Through the Console Port


This section describes how to connect a terminal to a router through the console port to establish the configuration environment.

1.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before logging in to the router through the console port, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
When the router is powered on for the first time, you need to use the console port to log in to the router to configure and manage the router.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before logging in to the router through the console port, complete the following tasks:

l l

Installing terminal emulation program on the PC (such as Windows XP HyperTerminal) Preparing the RS-232 cable

Data Preparation
To log in to the router through the console port, you need the following data. No. 1 Data Terminal communication parameters l Baud rate l Data bit l Parity l Stop bit l Flow-control mode

NOTE

When the router is logged in for the first time, the system automatically uses default parameter values.

1.2.2 Establishing the Physical Connection


The console port on the router must be connected to the COM port on a terminal by using a console cable.

Procedure
Step 1 Power on all devices to perform a self-check. Step 2 Connect the COM port on the PC and the console port on the router by a cable. ----End

1.2.3 Logging in to the router


You can log in to the router through the console port to configure and manage the router that is powered on for the first time.

Context
You need to configure terminal attributes for the PC according to the attributes configured for the console port, including the transmission rate, data bit, parity bit, stop bit, and flow control mode. As the router is logged in for the first time, every terminal attribute uses the default value of the router.

Procedure
Step 1 Start a terminal emulator on the PC, and create a new connection, as shown in Figure 1-1.

1.3 Logging In to the router That Supports the Plug-and-Play Function


The plug-and-play function enables the router to automatically access the network and obtains an IP address after the router is powered on. This allows engineers to remotely log in to the router to perform basic configurations.

Context
NOTE

The plug-and-play function only can be configured on the X1 , X2 and X3 models of the NE80E/40E.

by a PAF file and users do not need to configure it manually. This function is automatically disabled after the router correctly obtains an IP address. The process of logging in to the router supporting the plug-and-play function is as follows:

Procedure
Step 1 After planning the network, network planning engineers provide a planning list for software commissioning engineers. Step 2 Based on the planning list, software commissioning engineers configure the mappings between the router locations and IP addresses on the DHCP server, compile configuration scripts, and configure the mappings between the router locations and scripts. Step 3 Hardware installation personnel installs the router and power them on at the site. Step 4 The router sends a DHCPREQUEST message to the DHCP server, and then the interface connecting to the DHCP server obtains an IP address. Step 5 The NMS delivers configurations to the router. ----End

Follow-up Procedure
If there is no DHCP server on the network or the router cannot obtain an IP address for some reason, the router displays the following information:
PNP State!!!PLEASE UNDO PNP enable for manual Setup! You can undo PNP in system view with "undo pnp enable"

At this time, do as follows to disable the plug-and-play function: 1. 2. 3. Run the system-view command to enter the system view. Run the undo pnp enable command to disable the plug-and-play function. Run the undo pnp default route command to delete the default route generated by the plug-and-play function.

2 CLI Overview

2.1 CLI Introduction


After you log in to the router, a prompt is displayed, indicating that you enter the command line interface (CLI). The CLI is used by users to interact with the router.

2.1.1 Command Line Interface


You can configure and manage the router by using the CLI commands. The characteristics of CLI are as follows: l l l l l l l l l Local or remote configuration through the AUX port. Local configuration through console port. Local or remote configuration through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). Remote configuration by logging in to an asynchronous serial interface on the router through Modem dialup. The telnet command for directly logging in to and managing other routers. FTP service for file uploading and downloading. A user interface view for specific configuration management. Hierarchical command protection for users of different levels, that is, running the commands of the corresponding levels. Three authentication modes are supported, namely, none-authentication, password authentication, and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) authentication. Password and AAA authentication prohibit unauthorized users from logging in to the router, guaranteeing system security. Entering "?" for online help at any time. A command line interpreter provides intelligent command resolution methods such as key word fuzzy match and context conjunction. These methods make it easy for users to enter their commands. Network testing commands such as tracert and ping for rapidly diagnosing a network. Abundant debugging information to help in diagnosing the network. Running a command used previously on the device, like DosKey.
NOTE

l l

l l l

l The system supports the command with up to 512 characters. The command can be incomplete. This means that you can input initial characters (one or some) of the command to represent the whole command. The incomplete command, however, must be unqiue in the system. For example, to use the display current-configuration command, just input d cu, di cu, or dis cu. d c or dis c, however, cannot be input, becuse they are not unique to represent the display current-configuration command. l The system saves the incomplete command to the configuration files in the complete form; therefore, the command may have more than 512 characters. When the system is restarted, however, the incomplete command cannot be restored. Therefore, pay attention to the length of the incomplete command.

2.1.2 Command Levels


The system manages commands in hierarchy for security. The administrator can set user levels corresponding to command levels to implement user-specific access control.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

2 CLI Overview

The default command levels are as follows: Table 2-1 Command line levels Level 0 Name Visit level Description Commands of this level include commands of network diagnosis tool (such as ping and tracert) and commands that start from the local device and visit external device (such as Telnet client side). Commands of this level, including the display commands, are used for system maintenance and fault diagnosis. Commands of this level are service configuration commands that provide direct network service to the user, including routing and network layer commands. Commands of this level are commands that influence the basic operation of the system and provide support to the service. They include file system commands, FTP commands, TFTP commands, XModem downloading commands, configuration file switching commands, power supply control commands, backup board control commands, user management commands, level setting commands, system internal parameter setting commands, and debugging commands that are used for fault diagnosis.

Monitoring level Configuration level Management level

To implement efficient management, you can increase the command levels to 0-15. For the increase in the command levels, refer to Chapter 4 "Basic Configuration" Configuring Command Levels in the HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.
NOTE

l The default command level may be higher than the command level defined according to the command rules in application. l The level of the command that a user can run is determined by the level of this user. l Login users have the same 16 levels as the command levels. The login users can use only the command of the levels that are equal to or lower than their own levels. The user privilege level level command sets the user level.

Searching Commands Based on Command Levels


You can search for all commands of a specific level simultaneously. The procedure is as follows: 1. 2. Open the command reference (.chm.) file. Click the "Search" tab. The search window will be displayed as shown in Figure 2-1.

2.3.3 Regular Expressions


The regular expression is an expression that describes a set of strings. It consists of common characters (such as letters from "a" to "z") and particular characters (also named metacharacters). The regular expression is a template according to which you can search for the required string. Users can use regular expressions to filter output information to rapidly locate desired information. A regular expression can provide the following functions: l l Searching for and obtaining a sub-string that matches a rule in the string. Substituting a string according to a certain matching rule.

Formal Language Theory of the Regular Expression


The regular expression consists of common characters and particular characters. l Common characters Common characters are used to match themselves in a string, including all upper-case and lower-case letters, digits, punctuation, and special symbols. For example, a matches the letter "a" in "abc", 202 matches the digit "202" in "202.113.25.155", and @ matches the symbol "@" in "xxx@xxx.com". l Particular characters Particular characters are used together with common characters to match the complex or particular string combination. Table 2-5 describes particular characters and their syntax.

2 CLI Overview

Specifying a Filtering Mode in Command

CAUTION
The HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E uses a regular expression to implement the filtering function of the pipe character. A display command supports the pipe character only when there is excessive output information. When the output information is queried according to the filtering conditions, the first line of the command output starts with the information containing the regular expression. The command can carry the parameter | count to display the number of matching entries. The parameter | count can be used together with other parameters. For the commands supporting regular expressions, the three filtering methods are as follows: l l l | begin regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matches regular expression. | exclude regular-expression: displays the information that excludes the lines that match regular expression. | include regular-expression: displays the information that includes the lines that match regular expression.
NOTE

The value of regular-expression is a string of 1 to 255 characters.

Specify a Filtering Mode when Information is Displayed


When a lot of information is displayed, you can specify a filtering mode in the prompt "---- More ----". l l l /regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matches regular expression. -regular-expression: displays the information that excludes lines that match regular expression. +regular-expression: displays the information that includes lines that match regular expression.

2.3.4 Previously-Used Commands


The CLI provides a function similar to DosKey to automatically save commands used previously on the device. If you need to run a command that has been executed, you can call the command from those have been used previously on the device. This facilitates user operation. By default, the system saves a maximum of 10 previously-used commands for each user. You can run the history-command max-size size-value command in the user view to set the number of previously-used commands saved in the system. A maximum of 256 previously-used commands can be saved in the system.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations


NOTE

2 CLI Overview

Setting the number of saved previously-used commands to a proper value is recommended. If a large number of previously-used commands are saved, it will take a long time to locate a needed previouslyused command, affecting efficiency.

The operations are shown in Table 2-6 Table 2-6 Access the previously-used commands Action Display previouslyused commands. Access the last previouslyused command. Access the next previouslyused command. Key or Command display historycommand Result Display previously-used commands entered by users.

Up cursor key () or Display the last previously-used command if there is an earlier previously-used command. Otherwise, Ctrl_P an alarm is generated. Down cursor key () or Ctrl_N Display the next previously-used command if there is a later previously-used command. Otherwise, the command is cleared and an alarm is generated.

NOTE

On the HyperTerminal of Windows 9X, cursor key is invalid as the HyperTerminals of Windows 9X define the keys differently. In this case, you can replace the cursor key with Ctrl_P.

When you use previously-used commands, note the following points: l l The saved previously-used commands are the same as that those entered by users. For example, if the user enters an incomplete command, the saved command also is incomplete. If the user runs the same command several times, the earliest command is saved. If the command is entered in different forms, they are considered as different commands. For example, if the display ip routing-table command is run several times, only one previously-used command is saved. If the disp ip routing command and the display ip routing-table command are run, two previously-used commands are saved.

2.3.5 Batch Command Execution


If multiple commands are frequently used consecutively, you can edit these commands to be executed in batches. This simplifies command input and improves efficiency.

Procedure
Step 1 In the user view, run:
batch-cmd edit

Commands are edited to be executed in batches. The batch-cmd edit command can be used by only one user at a time.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 19

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

2 CLI Overview

The maximum length of a command (including the incomplete command) to be entered is 512 characters. When editing commands, press Enter to complete the editing of each command.
NOTE

l After the batch-cmd edit command is run successfully to edit the commands to be executed in batches, the system deletes the original commands to be run in batches. l The commands that are already edited are saved in memory and are deleted for ever when the system is restarted.

Step 2 After all commands are edited, you can press the shortcut buttons Ctrl_Z to exit the editing state and return to the user view. Step 3 In the user view, run:
batch-cmd execute

The commands are executed in batches. The batch-cmd execute command can be used by only one user at a time. The sequence of running commands is the same as the sequence of editing commands. You can view the execution of these commands on the CLI. After the execution is complete, the user view is displayed.
NOTE

If the batch-cmd edit or batch-cmd execute command is among the commands to be executed in batches, the system displays an error when executing the batch-cmd edit or batch-cmd execute command and continues to execute the following commands.

2.4 Shortcut Keys


Using the system or user-defined shortcut keys makes it easier to enter commands.

2.4.1 Classifying Shortcut Keys


There are two types of shortcut keys, namely, system shortcut keys and user-defined shortcut keys. Familiarize yourself with shortcut keys so as to use them accurately. The shortcut keys in the system are classified into the following types: l User-defined shortcut keys: CTRL_G, CTRL_L, CTRL_O, and CTRL_U. The user can correlate these shortcut keys with any commands. When the shortcut keys are pressed, the system automatically runs the corresponding command. For details of defining the shortcut keys, see 2.4.2 Defining Shortcut Keys. System-defined shortcut keys: These shortcut keys with fixed functions are defined by the system. Table 2-7 lists the system-defined shortcut keys.
NOTE

Different terminal software defines these keys differently. Therefore, the shortcut keys on the terminal may be different from those listed in this section.

2.4.2 Defining Shortcut Keys


If one or multiple commands are frequently used, you can correlate these commands with shortcut keys. This facilitates user operation and improves efficiency. Only management-level users have the rights to define shortcut keys. Configure as follows in the system view. Action Define shortcut keys Command hotkey { CTRL_G | CTRL_L | CTRL_O | CTRL_U } command-text

NOTE

When defining the shortcut keys, use double quotation marks to define the command if this command contains several commands words, that is, if spaces exist in the command.

By default, CTRL_G, CTRL_L and CTRL_O correspond to the following commands respectively: l l l CTRL_G: display current-configuration CTRL_L: display ip routing-table CTRL_O: undo debugging all

By default, CTRL_U is not correlated with any command.

2.4.3 Use of Shortcut Keys


You can use the shortcut key at any position that allows a command to be entered. The system executes an entered shortcut key and displays the corresponding command on the screen in the same way as you enter a complete command. l If you have typed part of a command and have not pressed Enter, you can press the shortcut keys to clear the entered command and display the full corresponding command. This operation has the same effect as that of deleting all commands and then re-entering the complete command. The shortcut keys are run as the commands, the syntax is recorded to the command buffer and log for fault location and querying.
NOTE

The terminal in use may affect the functions of the shortcut keys. For example, if the customized shortcut keys of the terminal conflict with those of the router, the input shortcut keys are captured by the terminal program and hence the shortcut keys do not function.

Run the following command in any view to display the use of shortcut keys. Action Check the usage of shortcut keys. Command display hotkey

3.1 Configuring the Basic System Environment


This section describes how to configure the basic system environment.

3.1.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before configuring the basic system environment, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
Before configuring services, you need to configure the basic system environment (such as the language mode, time, device name, login information, and command level) to meet the environment requirement.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the basic system environment, complete the following task: l Powering on the router

Data Preparation
To configure the basic system environment, you need the following data. No. 1 2 3 4 5 Data Language mode System time Host name Login information Command level

3.1.2 Switching the Language Mode


You can switch between the Chinese mode and the English mode as needed.

Context
After the language mode is switched, the system displays prompts and outputs of command lines in the specified language. Language information (Chinese and English) has been stored in the system software and does not need to be loaded. Do as follows in the user view:

3 Basic Configuration

Procedure
l Run:
language-mode { chinese | english }

The language mode is switched. By default, the English mode is used. The help information on the router can be in English or in Chinese. The language mode is stored in the system software and does not need to be loaded. ----End

3.1.3 Configuring the Equipment Name


When multiple devices on the network need to be managed, you can identify them by setting an equipment name for each device.

Context
The new equipment name takes effect immediately.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


sysname host-name

The equipment name is set. By default, the equipment name of the router is HUAWEI. You can change the name of the router that appears in the command prompt. ----End

3.1.4 Setting the System Clock


You need to set the system time properly to ensure the cooperation between the NE80E/40E and other devices.

Context
The system clock displays the current time and date of the system, time zone to which the system belongs, and daylight saving time. The NE80E/40E supports the configurations of the time zone and the daylight saving time. Do as follows in the user view:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 29

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations


clock datetime [ utc ] HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD

3 Basic Configuration

The current date and time is set. Step 2 Run:


clock timezone time-zone-name { add | minus } offset

The time zone is set. l If add is configured, the current time is the UTC time plus the time offset. That is, the default UTC time plus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name. l If minus is configured, the current time is the UTC time minus the time offset. That is, the default UTC time minus offset is equal to the time of time-zone-name.
NOTE

UTC stands for the Universal Time Coordinated.

Step 3 Run:
clock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name one-year start-time start-date end-time end-date offset

or
clock daylight-saving-time time-zone-name repeating start-time { { first | second | third | fourth | last } weekday month | start-date } end-time { { first | second | third | fourth | last } weekday month | end-date } offset [ start-year [ end-year ] ]

The daylight saving time is set. By default, the daylight saving time is not set. During the configuration of the daylight saving time, you can configure the starting time and ending time in one of the following modes: date+date, week+week, date+week, and week+date. For details, see clock daylight-saving-time.

CAUTION
When the device is upgraded from an earlier version to the V600R003C00 version, the configured daylight saving time does not take effect and needs to be reconfigured. ----End

3.1.5 Configuring a Header


If you need to provide information for users logging in, you can configure a header that the system displays during or after login.

Context
A header text is a message displayed by the system when and after a user is logging in to the router. If you need to provide information for login users, you can configure a header that the system displays during login or after login.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 30

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

3 Basic Configuration

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


header login { information text | file file-name }

The header displayed during login is set. Step 3 Run:


header shell { information text | file file-name }

The header displayed after login is set. To display the header when the terminal connection has been activated but the user is not being authenticated, configure the parameter login. To display the header after the user logs in successfully, configure the parameter shell. If the user can log in to the router without authentication, the system directly displays the header after the login.

CAUTION
l The header text starts and ends with the same character. After a character is input and Enter is pressed, an interactive interface is displayed. You can input the required information ended with the first character. The system then exits from the interactive interface. l If a user logs in to the router by using SSH1.X, the login header is not displayed during login, but the shell header is displayed after login. l If a user logs in to the router by using SSH2.0, both login and shell headers are displayed. ----End

3.1.6 Configuring Command Levels


This section describes how to configure command levels to ensure device security or allow lowlevel users to run high-level commands. By default, commands are registered in the sequence of Level 0 to Level 3. If refined rights management is required, you can divide commands in to 16 levels, that is, from Level 0 to Level 15.

Context
If the user does not adjust a command level separately, after the command level is updated, all originally-registered command lines adjust automatically according to the following rules: l l l The commands of Level 0 and Level 1 remain unchanged. The commands of Level 2 are updated to Level 10 and the commands of Level 3 are updated to Level 15. No command lines exist in Level 2 to Level 9 and Level 11 to Level 14. The user can adjust the command lines to these levels separately to refine the management of privilege.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

3 Basic Configuration

CAUTION
Changing the default level of a command is not recommended. If the default level of a command is changed, some users may be unable to use the command any longer.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


command-privilege level rearrange

Update the command level in batches. When no password is configured for a Level 15 user, the system prompts the user to set a superpassword for the level 15 user. At the same time, the system asks if the user wants to continue with the update of command line level. Then, just select "N" to set a password. If you select "Y", the command level can be updated in batches directly. This results in the user not logging in through the Console port and failing to update the level. Step 3 Run:
command-privilege level level view view-name command-key

The command level is configured. With the command, you can specify the level and view multiple commands at one time (command-key). All commands have default command views and levels. You do not need to reconfigure them. ----End

3.1.7 Configuring the Undo Command to Match in the Previous View Automatically
You can run the undo command in the current view and thus the system automatically matches the previous view.

Context
If the user allows the undo command to automatically match the previous view and the user runs the undo command that is not registered in the current view, the system searches the undo command in the previous view.

CAUTION
The undo command has disadvantages due to automatically matching. For example, when the user runs the undo ospf command in the interface view where the command is not registered, the system searches in system view automatically. This may lead to global deletion of the OSPF feature.

4 Configuring User Interface

4.1 User Interface Overview


The system supports console, AUX, and VTY user interfaces. Each user interface has a corresponding user interface view. A user interface view is a command line view provided by the system. It is used to configure and manage all the physical and logical interfaces in asynchronous mode.

User Interfaces Supported by the System


l Console port (CON) The console port is a serial port provided by the main control board of the router. The main control board provides one EIA/TIA-232 DCE console port for local configuration by directly connecting a terminal to a router. l Auxiliary port (AUX) It is a linear port provided by the main control board of the router and supports the dialup by using a modem. Each main control board provides one AUX port with the type of EIA/TIA-232 DTE. A terminal can remotely access the router through the modem on the AUX port. l Virtual type terminal (VTY) It is a logical terminal line. A VTY connection is set up when a router connects to a terminal by means of Telnet. It is used for local or remote access to a router. A maximum of 16 users can log in to the router by using the VTY user interface.

Numbering of a User Interface


After a user logs in to the router, the system assigns an idle user interface of the smallest number to the user according to the user's login mode. You can number a user interface in the following manners: l Relative numbering The relative numbering is in the format of user interface type + number. The relative numbering is available for interfaces of a specific type. It is used only to specify one or a group of user interfaces of a specified type. Relative numbering must comply with the following rules: Number of the console port: CON 0 Number of the auxiliary port: AUX 0 Number of the VTY: VTY 0 for the first line, VTY 1 for the second line, and so on l Absolute numbering The absolute numbering is used to uniquely specify a user interface or a group of user interfaces. The number starts with 0. The ports are numbered in the sequence of CON AUX VTY. There is only one console port and one AUX port and 0-15 VTY interfaces. You can use the user-interface maximum-vty command to set the maximum number of user interfaces. The default number is five. By default, the system supports three types of user interfaces: CON, AUX, and VTY. Table 4-1 shows the absolute numbers of the user interfaces in this system.

Table 4-1 Example for the absolute numbering Absolute number 0 33 34 35 36 37 38 User-interface CON0 AUX0 The first virtual interface (VTY0) The second virtual interface (VTY1) The third virtual interface (VTY2) The fourth virtual interface (VTY3) The fifth virtual interface (VTY4)

NOTE

The absolute numbers allocated for AUX and VTY interfaces are device-specific.

The numbers from 1 to 32 are reserved for the TTY user interfaces. Run the display user-interface command to view the absolute number of user interfaces.

Authentication of a User Interface


After a user is configured, the system authenticates the user during user login. There are three user authentication modes: non-authentication, password authentication, and AAA. l l l Non-authentication: In this mode, users can log in to the router without entering usernames or passwords. For security, this mode is not recommended. Password authentication: In this mode, users need to enter passwords, not usernames, during the login process. AAA authentication: In this mode, users need to enter passwords and usernames during the login process. Telnet users are usually authenticated in this mode.

Priority of a User Interface


Users that log in to the router are managed according to their levels. Similar to command levels, users are classified into 16 levels numbered 0 to 15. The greater the number, the higher the user level. The level of the command that a user can run is determined by the level of this user. l l In the case of non-authentication or password authentication, the level of the command that the user can run is determined by the level of the user interface. In the case of AAA authentication, the command that the user can run is determined by the level of the local user specified in the AAA configuration.

About This Chapter

Configuring User Login

A user can log in to the router through a console port, an AUX port, or by using Telnet or SSH (STelnet). After the login, the user can maintain the router locally or remotely. 5.1 Overview of User Login Users can manage and maintain the router only after logging in to the router. Users can log in to the router by using the AUX port, console port, Telnet, or STelnet (SSH Telnet). 5.2 Logging in to the Devices Through the Console Port When a user needs to configure the router that is powered on for the first time or locally maintain the router, the user can log in to the router through a console port. 5.3 Logging in to the Devices Through the AUX Port When a user terminal and the router have no reachable route between each other, the user can remotely configure and manage or locally maintain the router by logging in to the router through an AUX port. 5.4 Logging in to the Devices by Using Telnet If multiple routers need to be configured and managed, you do not need to connect the routers and maintain them locally one by one. Instead, you can log in to the routers from a terminal by using Telnet. This implements remote maintenance of the router and greatly facilitates device management. 5.5 Logging in to the Devices by Using STelnet STelnet provides secured remote access over an insecure network. After the client/server negotiation is complete and a secured connection is established, a user can log in to the router in a similar way as Telnet. 5.6 Common Operations After Login After logging in to the router, you can perform following operations as needed, such as user priority switching and terminal window locking. 5.7 Configuration Examples This section provides several examples describing how to configure user login by using a console port, Telnet, or STelnet. You can understand the configuration procedures by referring to the

5 Configuring User Login

5.1 Overview of User Login


Users can manage and maintain the router only after logging in to the router. Users can log in to the router by using the AUX port, console port, Telnet, or STelnet (SSH Telnet). To configure, monitor, and maintain the local or remote network devices running NE80E/40E, you need to configure the user interface, the user management, and the terminal service. The user interface provides a login plane. The user management guarantees the login security and the terminal service provides related processes of login protocol. The NE80E/40E supports the following login methods: l l l Login through the console port Local or remote login through the AUX port Local or remote login through Telnet or STelnet

Table 5-1 User login modes Login Mode Console port Application Users log in to the router through the console port to configure the router locally. Login through the console port is required when the router is powered on for the first time. Users log in to the router by using Telnet for local and remote maintenance. Telnet helps users maintain remote devices but brings security threats. Users log in to the router through the AUX port to maintain the router locally when there is no available route and Telnet is unsuitable. SSH (STelnet) provides security protection for users logging in to the router to maintain the router locally or remotely.

Telnet AUX port SSH (STelnet)

NOTE

Logins by using Telnet bring security risks because no secure authentication mechanism is available and data is transmitted by using TCP in plain text mode. Unlike Telnet, SSH guarantees secure data transmission on a conventional insecure network by authenticating the client and encrypting data in both directions. SSH supports security Telnet (STelnet). For detailed information about SSH, see the NE80E/40E Feature Description - Basic Configurations.

5.2 Logging in to the Devices Through the Console Port


When a user needs to configure the router that is powered on for the first time or locally maintain the router, the user can log in to the router through a console port.

5.3 Logging in to the Devices Through the AUX Port


When a user terminal and the router have no reachable route between each other, the user can remotely configure and manage or locally maintain the router by logging in to the router through an AUX port.

5.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before configuring user login through an AUX port, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
You can configure and maintain the router locally or remotely through an AUX port. In local configuration of the router, the AUX login method is similar to the console login method. The only difference between the two login methods lies in the default user priority: The default user priority of the console user interface is 3, whereas that of the AUX user interface is 0. Therefore, Logging in by using the console login method is recommended in the local configuration. The following part mainly describes remote login of the router through an AUX port.
NOTE

To manage and maintain the router through an AUX port, firstly modify the user priority of the AUX user interface.

When there is no reachable route between a PC and the router, you can connect the serial port of the PC to the AUX port of the router by using a modem. In this manner, you can use the PSTN to configure and maintain the router remotely. As shown in Figure 5-1, The COM interface of the PC is connected to the modem that is connected to the PSTN. The AUX port of the router is connected to another modem that is connected to the PSTN. Figure 5-1 Networking diagram of remote login through an AUX port

Applicable Environment
If you have known the IP address of the router to be accessed, you can log in to the router from a terminal by using Telnet, and remotely maintain the device. This allows you to maintain multiple routers on the same terminal, greatly facilitating device management. Note that IP addresses of the routers need to be preset through console ports.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring user login in Telnet mode, complete the following tasks: l Configuring reachable routes between the terminal and the device

Data Preparation
Before configuring user login in Telnet mode, you need the following data. No. 1 Data l Maximum number of VTY user interfaces l (Optional) ACL for limiting call-in and call-out in VTY user interfaces l Connection timeout period of terminal users, number of lines displayed in a terminal screen, size of the history command buffer l User priority l User authentication mode, user name, password 2 3 TCP port number for the remote router to provide Telnet services, VPN instance name IPv4/IPv6 address or host name of the router

5.4.2 Configuring VTY User Interface


To log in to the router by using Telnet, configure attributes of the VTY user interface.

Context
By default, the user authentication mode in the VTY user interface is password. Therefore, before a user logs in to the router by using Telnet, the user authentication mode in the VTY user interface must be set. Otherwise, the user cannot log in to the router. You can log in to the router through a console port to set the user authentication mode in the VTY user interface. Other attributes of the VTY user interface in the router, such as terminal attributes and user priorities, can also be set as needed. These attributes, however, generally do not need to be set because they have default values. For detailed settings, see Configuring VTY User Interface.

----End

5.4.5 (Optional) Configuring Listening Port Number for Telnet Server


A user can configure or change the listening port number of a Telnet server. Changing the listening port number ensures network security, because only the user that knows the current listening port number can log in to the router.

Context
By default, the listening port number of a Telnet server is 23. Users can directly log in to the router using the default listening port number. Attackers may access the default listening port, consuming bandwidth, deteriorating server performance, and causing authorized users unable to access the server. After the listening port number of the Telnet server is changed, attackers do not know the new listening port number. This effectively prevents attackers from accessing the listening port. Do as follows on the router that functions as a Telnet server:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


telnet server port port-number

The listening port number of the Telnet server is set.

5.5 Logging in to the Devices by Using STelnet


STelnet provides secured remote access over an insecure network. After the client/server negotiation is complete and a secured connection is established, a user can log in to the router in a similar way as Telnet.

5.5.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before configuring users to log in by using STelnet, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
Logins by using Telnet bring security risks because no secure authentication mechanism is available and data is transmitted by using TCP in plain text mode. Unlike Telnet, SSH guarantees secure data transmission on a conventional insecure network by authenticating the client and encrypting data in both directions. STelnet is a secure Telnet protocol. The SSH user can use the STelnet service in the same manner as using the Telnet service.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring users to log in by using STelnet, complete the following task: l Configuring reachable routes between the terminal and the device

Data Preparation
To configure users to log in by using STelnet, you need the following data: No. 1 Data Maximum number of VTY user interfaces, (optional) ACL for limiting call-in and call-out in VTY user interfaces, connection timeout period of terminal users, number of rows displayed in a terminal screen, size of the history command buffer, user authentication mode, user name, and password User name, password, authentication mode, and service type of an SSH user and remote public RSA key pair allocated to the SSH user (Optional) Name of an SSH server, number of the port monitored by the SSH server, preferred encryption algorithm from the STelnet client to the SSH server, preferred encrypted algorithm from the SSH server to the STelnet client, preferred HMAC algorithm from the STelnet client to the SSH server, preferred HMAC algorithm from the SSH server to the STelnet client, preferred algorithm of key exchange, name of the outgoing interface, and source address

----End

5.5.4 Configuring an SSH User and Specifying STelnet as One of Service Types
To allow a user to log in to the router by using STelnet, you must configure an SSH user, configure the router to generate a local RSA key pair, configure a user authentication mode, and specify a service type for the SSH user.

Context
l SSH users can be authenticated in four modes: RSA, password, password-RSA, and all. Password authentication depends on Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA). Before a user logs in to the router in password or password-RSA authentication mode, you must create a local user with the specified user name in the AAA view. Configuring the router to generate a local RSA key pair is a key step for SSH login. If an SSH user logs in to an SSH server in password authentication mode, configure the server to generate a local RSA key pair. If an SSH user logs in to an SSH server in RSA authentication mode, configure both the server and the client to generate local RSA key pairs.
NOTE

Password-RSA authentication requires success of both password authentication and RSA authentication. The all authentication mode requires success of either password authentication or RSA authentication.

Do as follows on the router that functions as an SSH server:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ssh user user-name

1.

Run:
aaa

The AAA view is displayed. 2. Run:


local-user user-name password { simple | cipher } password

5 Configuring User Login

5.6 Common Operations After Login


After logging in to the router, you can perform following operations as needed, such as user priority switching and terminal window locking.

5.6.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before performing operations after login, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
To ensure that the operator manages routers safely, you need to configure the switching of user levels, enable message sending between user interfaces, and clear designated users.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before performing operations after login, complete the following tasks: l Connecting the terminal to the router

Data Preparations
Before performing operations after login, you need the following data: No. 1 2 3 Data Password used for switching user levels Type and number of the user interface Contents of the message to be sent

5.6.2 Switching User Levels


If a user wants to upgrade from a lower level to a higher level after logging in to the router, a password is required. The password needs to be configured in advance.

Context
To prevent an unauthorized user from using high-level commands, a password is required to increase the user level. When configuring the switchover of user levels on the router, users can perform HWTACACS Authentication. For detailed configurations, refer to the HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E router Configuration Guide - Security.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 90

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

5 Configuring User Login

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


super password [ level user-level ] { simple | cipher } password

The password for switching user levels is configured. By default, the password for the user is set to Level 3.

CAUTION
If simple is configured, the password is saved in the configuration file in plain text. This means that low-level login users can easily obtain and change the password by checking the configuration file, compromising the network security. Therefore, selecting cipher to save the password in the cipher text is recommended. If cipher is used to set the password, the password cannot be obtained from the system. Save the password to avoid oblivion or missing. Step 3 Run:
quit

Return to the user view. Step 4 Run:


super [ level ]

User levels are switched. By default, the level is 3. Step 5 Follow the prompt and enter a password. If the password entered is correct, the user can switch to a higher level. If the user enters a password incorrectly for three consecutive times, the user remains at the current login level and returns to the user view.
NOTE

When the login user of lower level is switched to the user of higher level through the super command, the system automatically sends trap messages and records the switchover in a log. When the switched level is lower than that of the current level, the system only records the switchover in a log.

----End

5.6.3 Locking User Interfaces


When you leave the operation terminals for a moment, you can lock the user interface to prevent unauthorized users from operating the interface.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 91

6 Managing File System

6.1 File System Overview


The router effectively manages all files by means of the file system.

6.1.1 File System


The file system manages the files and directories in the storage devices. It can create, delete, modify, and rename a file or directory and display the contents of the file. The file system has two functions: managing the storage devices and managing the files that are stored in those storage devices.

6.1.2 Methods of File Management


You can manage files by means of the file system, FTP or SFTP.

Performing File Operations by Means of the File System


l Storage Devices Storage devices are hardware devices for storing messages. At present, the router supports the storage devices CF card. l l Files The file is a mechanism with which the system stores and manages messages. Directories The directory is a mechanism with which the system integrates and organizes the file, serving as a logical container of the file.

Performing File Operations by Means of FTP


You can configure the router as the FTP server, and log in to the router from the user terminal to transmit files and manage directories on the FTP server.

Performing File Operations by Means of SFTP


SSH supports Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), which enables users to remotely and securely log in to the router to manage files. SSH guarantees secure data transmission on a conventional insecure network by authenticating the client and encrypting data in both directions.

Performing File Operations by Means of Xmodem


XModem is a file transfer protocol and is mainly applied to the AUX port.XModem does not support simultaneous operations of multiple users.

6.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before performing file operations by means of FTP, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
When the router serves as the FTP server, after the client logs in to the router through FTP, the user can transfer files between the client and the server.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before performing file operations by means of FTP, complete the following task: l Connecting the FTP client to the server

Data Preparation
To perform file operations by means of FTP, you need the following data:
NOTE

For FTP secure server connection, perform step 2.

No. 1 2 3

Data FTP user name and password, File directory authorized to the FTP user (Optional) Listening port number specified on the FTP server (Optional) Source IP address or source interface of the FTP server (Optional) Timeout period of the disconnection from the FTP server

IP address or host name of the FTP server

6.3.2 Configuring a Local FTP User


You can configure the authorization mode and authorization directory for FTP users. In this case, unauthorized users cannot access the specific directory, which guarantees the security.

Context
To perform file operations by means of FTP, you need to configure a local user name and a password on the router and specify the service type and the directories that can be accessed. Otherwise, you cannot access the router by using FTP. Do as follows on the router that serves as the FTP server:

6.4 Performing File Operations by Means of SFTP


SFTP enables users to log in to the router securely from the remote device to manage files. This improves the security of data transmission for the remote end to update its system.

6.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before performing file operations by using SFTP, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
SSH guarantees secure data transmission on a conventional insecure network by authenticating the client and encrypting data in both directions. SSH supports SFTP. SFTP is a secure FTP service and enables users to log in to the FTP server for data transmission.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

6 Managing File System

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before performing file operations by using SFTP, complete the following task: l Configuring reachable routes between the terminal and the device

Data Preparation
Before performing file operations by using SFTP, you need the following data. No. 1 Data Maximum number of VTY user interfaces, (optional) ACL for limiting call-in and call-out in VTY user interfaces, connection timeout period of terminal users, number of rows displayed in a terminal screen, size of the history command buffer, user authentication mode, user name, and password User name, password, authentication mode, and service type of an SSH user and remote public RSA key pair allocated to the SSH user, SFTP working directory of the SSH user (Option) Number of the port monitored by the SSH server (Option) The interval for updating the key pair on the SSH server 4 Name of the SSH server,Number of the port monitored by the SSH server,Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server,Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SSH server to the SFTP client,Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server,Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SSH server to the SFTP client,Preferred algorithm of key exchange,Name of the outgoing interface,Source address Directory name and File name

6.4.2 Configuring VTY User Interface


To allow a user to log in to the router by using SFTP, you need to configure attributes of the VTY user interface.

Context
By default, the user authentication mode in the VTY user interface is password. Therefore, before a user logs in to the router by using SFTP, the user authentication mode in the VTY user interface must be set. Otherwise, the user cannot log in to the router. Other attributes of the VTY user interface in the router, such as terminal attributes and user priorities, can also be set as needed. These attributes, however, generally do not need to be set because they have default values. For detailed settings, see Configuring VTY User Interface.

6.4.3 Configuring SSH for the VTY User Interface


To allow users to log in to the router by using SFTP, you need to configure VTY user interfaces to support SSH.

----End

6.4.4 Configuring an SSH User and Specifying SFTP as One of Service Types
To allow a user to log in to the router by using SFTP, you must configure an SSH user, configure the router to generate a local RSA key pair, configure a user authentication mode, specify a service type and authorized directory for the SSH user.

Context
l SSH users can be authenticated in four modes: RSA, password, password-RSA, and all. Password authentication depends on Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA). Before a user logs in to the router in password or password-RSA authentication mode, you must create a local user with the specified user name in the AAA view. Configuring the router to generate a local RSA key pair is a key step for SSH login. If an SSH user logs in to an SSH server in password authentication mode, configure the server to generate a local RSA key pair. If an SSH user logs in to an SSH server in RSA authentication mode, configure both the server and the client to generate local RSA key pairs.
NOTE

Password-RSA authentication requires success of both password authentication and RSA authentication. The all authentication mode requires success of either password authentication or RSA authentication.

6.4.6 (Optional) Configuring the STelnet Server Parameters


You can configure a device to be compatible with the SSH protocol of earlier versions, configure or change the listening port number of an SSH server, and set an interval at which the key pair of the SSH server is updated.

Context
Table 6-2 lists server parameters. Table 6-2 Server parameters Server Parameter Earlier SSH version compatibility Description SSH has two versions: SSH1.X (earlier than SSH2.0) and SSH2.0. Compared with SSH1.X, SSH2.0 is extended in structure and supports more authentication modes and key exchange methods. SSH2.0 also supports more advanced services such as SFTP. The HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E supports SSH versions ranging from 1.3 to 2.0. The default listening port number of an SSH server is 22. Users can log in to the device by using the default listening port number. Attackers may access the default listening port, consuming bandwidth, deteriorating server performance, and causing authorized users unable to access the server. After the listening port number of the SSH server is changed, attackers do not know the new port number. This effectively prevents attackers from accessing the listening port and improves security. After the interval is set, the key pair of the SSH server is updated periodically to improve security.

6.5.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before configuring XModem, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
Configure XModem to transfer files through serial interfaces.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring XModem, complete the following tasks: l l l Powering on the router Connecting the router and the PC through an AUX port or a console port Logging in to the router through the terminal emulation program and specifying a file path in the terminal emulation program

Data Preparation
To configure XModem, you need the following data. No. 1 2 Data Name of a specific file Absolute path of the file

6.5.2 Getting a File Through Xmodem


Using XModem, you can download files to a router through the AUX port.

Context
XModem file transfer consists of receiving program and sending program. l l l l l The receiving program first sends the negotiation character to negotiate the check mode. After the negotiation is successful, the sending program begins to send packets. When the receiving program receives a complete packet, it checks the packet in the negotiated mode. If the check is successful, the receiving program sends the acknowledgement character and then the sending program sends the next packet. If the check fails, the receiving program sends the denial character and the sending program retransmits the packet.

NE80E/40E provides the function of XModem receiving program, which is applied to the AUX port and supports 128-byte packets and CRC. The function of XModem sending program is automatically included in the HyperTerminal. Do as follows on the router:

7 Configuring System Startup

7.1 System Startup Overview


When the router starts, system software is started and configuration files are loaded.

7.1.1 System Software


System software is the operation system of the router, and is the basis for the router to run properly and provide various services. The extension name of the system software file is .cc. The file must be saved in the root directory of the storage device.

7.1.2 Configuration Files


The configuration file is the add-in configuration item when restarting the router this time or next time. The configuration file is a text file in the following formats: l l l It is saved in the command format. To save space, default parameters are not saved. Commands are organized on the basis of the command view. All commands of the identical command view are grouped into a section. Every two command sections are separated by one or several blank lines or comment lines (beginning with "#"). The sequence of command sections is global configuration, physical interface configuration, logic interface configuration, routing protocol configuration and so on. The filename extension of the configuration file must be .cfg or .zip, and must be stored in the root directory of a storage device.
NOTE

l l

l The system can run the command with the maximum length of 512 characters, including the command in an incomplete form. l If the configuration is in the incomplete form, the command is saved in complete form. Therefore, the command length in the configuration file may exceed 512 characters. When the system restarts, these commands cannot be restored.

7.1.3 Configuration Files and Current Configurations


During the running of the router, configuration files and current configurations are differently defined. The concepts of configuration files and current configurations are as follows:

Issue 02 (2011-09-10)

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

141

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

7 Configuring System Startup

Concept Configuration Files Initial configurations: On powering on, the router retrieves the configuration files from a default save path to initiate itself. If configuration files do not exist in the default save path, the router uses the default parameters.

Identifying Method l Run the display startup command to view the configuration files for the current and next startup operations on the router. l Run the display savedconfiguration command to view the configuration file for the next startup operation on the router. Run the display currentconfiguration command to view the current configurations on the router.

Current Configurations

Current configurations: indicates the effective configurations of the currently running router.

Users can modify the current configurations of the router through the command line interface. Use the save command to save the current configuration to the configuration file of the default storage devices, and the current configuration becomes the initial configuration of the router when the router is powered on next time.

7.2 Managing Configuration Files


You can manage the configuration files for the current and next startup operations on the router.

7.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before managing configuration files, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
You can manage configuration files by saving, clearing, and comparing configuration files. To upgrade the router, take preventive measures, repair configuration files, and view configurations after the router starts, you need to manage configuration files.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before managing configuration files, complete the following task: l Installing the router and starting it properly

Data Preparation
To manage configuration files, you need the following data.

No. 1 2 3

Data Configuration file and its name Saving configuration files interval and delay interval The number of the start line from which the comparison of the configuration files begins

7.2.2 Saving Configuration Files


The configurations completed by using command lines are valid for only the current operation on the router. To allow the configurations to be valid for the next startup operation, you need to save the current configurations to configuration files before restarting the router.

Context
The system can save the configuration files periodically or in real time to prevent data loss when the router is powered off or accidentally restarted. Run one of the following commands to save configuration files.

Procedure
l Run:

CAUTION
When the automatic saving function is enabled and the LPU is not properly installed, corresponding configurations may be lost. 1. 2.
system-view

The system view is displayed.


set save-configuration [ interval interval | cpu-limit cpu-usage |delay delay-interval ] *

The configuration file is saved at intervals. After the parameter interval interval is specified, the device saves the configuration file at specified intervals regardless of whether the configuration file is changed. If the set save-configuration command is not run, the system does not automatically save configurations. If the set save-configuration command without specified interval is run, the system automatically saves configurations at 30-minute intervals. When you configure the automatic saving function, to prevent that function from affecting system performance, you can set the upper limit of the CPU usage for the system during automatic saving. When automatic saving is triggered by the expiry of the timer, the CPU usage is checked. If the CPU usage is higher than the set upper limit, automatic saving will be canceled.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 143

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

7 Configuring System Startup

After delay delay-interval is specified, if the configuration is changed, the device automatically saves the configuration after the specified delay. After automatic saving of configurations is configured, the system automatically saves the changed configurations to the configuration file for the next startup and configuration files are changed accordingly with the saved configurations. Before configuring the automatic configure file saving on the server, you need to run the set save-configuration backup-to-server server server-ip [ transport-type { ftp | sftp } ] user user-name password password [ path folder ] or set saveconfiguration backup-to-server server server-ip transport-type tftp [ path folder ] command to configure the server, including the IP address, user name, password of the server, destination path, and mode of transporting the configuration file to the server.
NOTE

If TFTP is used, run the tftp client-source command to configure a loopback interface address as a client source IP address on the router, improving security.

Run:
save [ all ] [ configuration-file ]

The current configurations are saved. The filename extension of the configuration file must be .cfg or .zip. The system startup configuration file must be saved in the root directory of a storage device. The user can modify the current configuration through the command line interface. To set the current configuration as initial configuration when the router starts next time, you can use the save command to save the current configuration in the cfcard memory. You can use the save all command to save all the current configurations, including the configurations of the boards that are not inserted, to the default directory.
NOTE

When saving the configuration file for the first time, if you do not specify the optional parameter configuration-file, the router asks you whether to save the file as "vrpcfg.zip" or not. "vrpcfg.zip" is the default configuration file and initially contains no configuration.

----End

7.2.3 Clearing a Configuration File


You can clear the configuration file that has been loaded to a device, or clear the inactive configurations of the boards that are not installed in slots.

Context
The configuration file stored in cfcard memory needs to be cleared in the following cases: l l The system software does not match the configuration file after the router has been upgraded. The configuration file is destroyed or an incorrect configuration file has been loaded.

Do as follows to clear the contents of a configuration file:

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

7 Configuring System Startup

Procedure
l Clear the currently loaded configuration file. Run the reset saved-configuration command to clear the currently loaded configuration file. If the configuration file of the router used for the current startup is the same as that used for the next startup, running the reset saved-configuration command will clear both the configuration files. The router will uses the default configuration file for the next startup. If the configuration file of the router used for the current startup is different from that used at the next startup, running the reset saved-configuration command will clear the configuration file used for the current startup. If the configuration file of the router used for the current startup is empty, the system will prompt you that the configuration file does not exist after you run the reset savedconfiguration command.

CAUTION
l After the contents of a configuration file are cleared, the empty configuration file with the original file name is left. l If you do not run the startup saved-configuration configuration-file command to specify a new correct configuration file, or do not run the save command to save the configuration file after the configuration file is cleared, the router will use the default configuration file at the next startup. l Exercise caution when running this command. If necessary, do it under the guidance of Huawei technical support personnel. l Clear the inactive configurations of the boards that are not installed in slots. 1. 2. ----End Run the system-view command to enter the system view. Run the clear inactive-configuration slot command to clear the inactive configurations of the boards that are not installed in slots.

7.2.4 Comparing Configuration Files


You can determine whether the current configuration file is the same as the one for the next startup operation or a specified one on the router by comparing them.

Context
You can determine whether to specify the current configuration file as the one for the next startup operation by comparing the current configuration file with the one for the next startup operation.

Procedure
l Run:
compare configuration [ configuration-file ] [ current-line-number save-linenumber ]

The current configuration is compared with the configuration file for next startup.
Issue 02 (2011-09-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 145

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

7 Configuring System Startup

If configuration-file is configured, the system checks whether the current configuration file is the same as the specified configuration file. If no parameter is set, the comparison begins with the first lines of configuration files. current-line-number and save-line-number are used to continue the comparison by ignoring the differences between the configuration files. When comparing differences between the configuration files, the system displays the contents of the current configuration file and saved configuration file from the first different line. By default, 150 characters are displayed for each configuration file. If the number of characters from the first different line to the end is less than 150, the contents after the first different line are all displayed.
NOTE

In comparing the current configurations with the configuration file for next startup, if the configuration file for next startup is unavailable or its contents are null, the system prompts that reading files fails.

----End

7.2.5 Checking the Configuration


After managing configuration files, you can view the current configuration files and files in the storage device.

Prerequisite
The configuration of Managing Configuration Files are complete.

Procedure
l Run the display current-configuration [ configuration [ configuration-type [ configuration-instance ] ] | controller | interface [ interface-type [ interface-number ] ] ] [ feature feature-name [ filter filter-expression ] | filter filter-expression ] or display current-configuration [ all | inactive ]command to check current configurations. Run the display startup command to check files for startup. Run the dir [ /all ] [ filename ] command to check files saved in the storage device. Run the display saved-configuration configuration command to view configurations of the autosave function, including the status of the autosave function, time for autosave check, threshold for the CPU usage, and period during which configurations are unchanged (when the period expires, configurations are automatically saved).

8.1 Accessing Another Device


This section describes how to access another device on the network by using Telnet, FTP, TFTP, or SSH. Figure 8-1 Networking diagram for accessing another device from the router

Network PC Client

Network

Server

As shown in Figure 8-1, when you run the terminal emulation program or Telnet program on a PC to connect to the router successfully, the router can still function as a client to access another device on the network by using the following one or more methods.

8.1.1 Telnet Method


To configure and manage remote device on the network, you can use the router that you have logged in to as a client to log in to the device, or use the redirection terminal service on therouter to log in to the device. Telnet is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It provides remote login and a virtual terminal service through the network. The NE80E/40E provides the following Telnet services: l l Telnet server: You can run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to the router, configure and manage it. The router acts as a Telnet server. Telnet client: You can run the terminal emulation program or the Telnet client program on a PC to connect with the router. With the telnet command, you can log in to other routers to configure and manage them. As shown in Figure 8-2,Router A serves as both the Telnet server and the Telnet client. Figure 8-2 Telnet client services
Telnet Session 1 Telnet Session2

Telnet Server PC RouterA RouterB

Redirection terminal services: You can run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to the router through a specified port number. Then connect with the serial interface devices that are connected with the asynchronous interface of the router, as shown in Figure 8-3. The typical application is to connect the asynchronous interface of the router with multiple devices for their remote configuration and maintenance.

NOTE

Only the devices that provide the asynchronous interface support the Telnet redirection service.

Interruption of Telnet services In Telnet connection, you can use two types of shortcut keys to interrupt the connection. As shown in Figure 8-4, Router A logs in to Router B through Telnet, and Router B logs in to Router C through Telnet. Thus, a cascade network is formed. In this case, Router A is the client of Router B and Router B is the client of Router C. Figure 8-4 illustrates the usage of the two types of shortcut keys. Figure 8-4 Usage of Telnet shortcut keys

<Ctrl_]>: The server interrupts the connection. If the network connection is normal, when you press Ctrl_], the Telnet server interrupts the current Telnet connection actively. For example:
<RouterC>

Press <Ctrl_]> to return to the prompt of Router B.


Info: The max number of VTY users is 10, and the current number of VTY users on line is 1. Info: The connection was closed by the remote host. <RouterB>

Press <Ctrl_]> to return to the prompt of Router A.

NOTE

8 Accessing Another Device

If the network disconnects, the shortcut keys become invalid. The instruction cannot be sent to the server.

<Ctrl_T>: The client interrupts the connection. When the server fails and the client is unaware of the failure, the server does not respond to the input of the client. In this case, if you press Ctrl_T, the Telnet client interrupts the connection actively and quits the Telnet connection. For example:
<RouterC>

Press <Ctrl_T> to directly interrupt the connection and quit Telnet connection.
<RouterA>

CAUTION
When the number of remote login users reaches to the maximum number of VTY user interfaces, the system prompts that all user interfaces are in use and you cannot use Telnet to log in.

8.1.2 FTP Method


To access files on a remote FTP server, you can establish a connection between the router that you have logged in to and the remote FTP server by using FTP. FTP can transmit files between hosts, and provide users with common FTP commands to simply manage file system. To be specific, through the FTP client program outside the router, users can upload or download the files and access the directories on the router; through the FTP client program inside the router, users can transfer files to the FTP servers of other devices. FTP can transmit files between local and remote hosts, and is widely used for version upgrade, log downloading, file transmission, and configuration saving.

8.1.3 TFTP Method


On the network, if a client communicates with a server in a comparatively simple interaction environment, you can enable TFTP services on the router that functions as a client to access files on the TFTP server. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple file transfer protocol. Compared with FTP, TFTP does not have a complex interactive access interface and authentication control. TFTP is applicable in an environment where there is no complex interaction between the client and the server. For example, TFTP is used to obtain the memory image of the system when the system starts up. TFTP is implemented based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The client initiates the TFTP transfer. To download files, the client sends a read request packet to the TFTP server, receives packets from the server, and sends acknowledgement to the server. To upload files, the client sends a write request packet to the TFTP server, sends packets to the server, and receives acknowledgement from the server.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

8 Accessing Another Device

TFTP transfers the files in two formats: l l The binary format: transfers program files. The ASCII format: transfers text files.

At present, the NE80E/40E serves only as the TFTP client and transfers files in the binary format.

8.1.4 SSH Method


To securely access another device on the network, you can log in to it by using SSH (including STelnet,SFTP) from the router that you have logged in to.

SSH Overview
When users on an insecure network log in to the router through Telnet, the Secure Shell (SSH) feature ensures information security and authentication. It protects the router from attacks such as IP address spoofing and interception of plain text password. The SSH client function allows users to establish SSH connections with router serving as SSH server or with UNIX hosts.

SSH Client Function


The NE80E/40E supports the STelnet client function ,the SFTP client function. l STelnet client The Telnet protocol does not provide secure authentication. The TCP transmits data in plain text. This leads to security problems. The system also faces serious threats from DOS (Denial of Service) attacks, the host IP address spoofing, and routing spoofing. Telnet services are prone to network attacks. SSH implements secure remote access on insecure networks and it has the following advantages compared with Telnet: SSH supports Remote Subscriber Access (RSA) authentication. In RSA authentication, SSH generates and exchanges public and private keys compliant with asymmetric encipherment system to ensure the session security. SSH supports Data Encryption Standard (DES), 3DES, and AES authentications. The user name and the password are both encrypted in the communication between the SSH client and the SSH server. This prevents password interception. SSH encrypts the transmitted data. When the STelnet server or the connection to the client is faulty, the client must detect the fault in time and release the connection voluntarily. To implement this, when logging in to the server through Stelnet, the client must be configured with the interval for sending the keepalive packet and the number of times for no reply restriction on the server if no packet is received by the client. If a client does not receive any packet within specified period, the client sends a keepalive packet to the server. If the number of times of no reply restriction exceeds the specified number, the client releases the connection voluntarily. l SFTP client SFTP is short for Secure FTP. You can log in to a device from the secure remote end to manage files. This improves the security of data transmission when the remote system is updated. Meanwhile, the client function enables you to log in to the remote device through SFTP for secure file transmission.

When the SFTP server or the connection between it and the client is faulty, the client must detect the fault in time and releases the connection voluntarily. To implement this, when logging in to the server through SFTP, the client must be configured with the period of sending the keepalive packet and the number of times for no reply restriction on the server if no packet is received by the client. If a client does not receive any packet within specified period, the client sends a keepalive packet to the server. If the number of times of no reply restriction exceeds the specified number, the client takes the initiative to release the connection.

8.2 Logging in to Other Devices by Using Telnet


On the network, a large number of routers need to be managed and maintained. Not all routers, however, can be connected to terminal PCs. In addition, there are not reachable routes between some routers and terminal PCs. To manage and maintain routers remotely, you can log in to them by using Telnet from a device that you have logged in to.

8.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before establishing the configuration task of logging in to another router from the router that you have logged in to, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the preconfiguration tasks, and obtain the required data.

8.4 Logging in to Another Device by Using STelnet


STelnet ensures secure Telnet services. You can log in to another router from the router that you have logged in to by using STelnet, and thus to manage the device remotely.

8.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before establishing the configuration task of logging in to another device by using Stelnet, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
Logins by using Telnet bring security risks because no secure authentication mechanism is available and data is transmitted by using TCP in plain text mode. STelnet is short for SSH Telnet that is a secure Telnet protocol. STelnet is on the basis of SSH. SSH users can use STelnet services as Telnet services. In this configuration, the Router that you have logged in to functions as a Telnet client, and theRouter that you attempt to log in to functions as an SSH server.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before logging in to another device by using STelnet, complete the following tasks: l Configuring a reachable route between the client and SSH server

Data Preparation
To log in to another device by using STelnet, you need the following data: No. 1 2 Data Name of the SSH server,Public key that is assigned by the client to the SSH server IPv4 or IPv6 address or host name of the SSH server,Number of the port monitored by the SSH server,Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server,Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SSH server to the SFTP client,Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server,Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SSH server to the SFTP client,Preferred algorithm of key exchange The user information for logging in to the SSH server

If the first-time authentication on the SSH client is enabled, the STelnet client does not check the validity of the RSA public key when logging in to the SSH server for the first time. After the login, the system automatically allocates the RSA public key and saves it for authentication in next login. Do as follows on the router that serves as an SSH client:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ssh client first-time enable

The first-time authentication on the SSH client is enabled. By default, the first-time authentication on the SSH client is disabled.
NOTE

l The purpose of enabling the first-time authentication on the SSH client is to skip checking the validity of the RSA public key of the SSH server when the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server for the first time. The check is skipped because the STelnet server has not saved the RSA public key of the SSH server. l If the first-time authentication is not enabled on the SSH client, when the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server for the first time, the STelnet client fails to pass the check on the RSA public key validity and cannot log in to the server.
TIP

To ensure that the STelnet client can log in to the SSH server at the first attempt, you can assign the RSA public key in advance to the SSH server on the SSH client in addition to enabling the first-time authentication on the SSH client.

8.4.3 Configuring the First Successful Login to Another Device (Allocating an RSA Public Key to the SSH Server)
To configure the first successful login to another device on the SSH client, you need to allocate an RSA public key to the SSH server before the login.

Context
If the first-time authentication is not enabled on the SSH client, when the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server for the first time, the STelnet client fails to pass the check on the RSA public key validity and cannot log in to the server.So you need to allocate an RSA public key to the SSH server before the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server. Do as follows on the router that serves as an SSH client:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ssh client first-time enable

The first-time authentication on the SSH client is enabled. By default, the first-time authentication on the SSH client is disabled.
NOTE

l The purpose of enabling the first-time authentication on the SSH client is to skip checking the validity of the RSA public key of the SSH server when the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server for the first time. The check is skipped because the STelnet server has not saved the RSA public key of the SSH server. l If the first-time authentication is not enabled on the SSH client, when the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server for the first time, the STelnet client fails to pass the check on the RSA public key validity and cannot log in to the server.
TIP

To ensure that the STelnet client can log in to the SSH server at the first attempt, you can assign the RSA public key in advance to the SSH server on the SSH client in addition to enabling the first-time authentication on the SSH client.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows: 1. 2. Configure Client001 and Client002 to log in to the SSH server in different authentication modes. Create a local RSA key pair on the STelnet client Client002 and the SSH server, and bind the client client002 to an RSA key to authenticate the client when the client attempts to log in to the server. Enable the SFTP service on the SSH server. Configure the service mode and authorization directory for the SSH user. Client001 and Client002 log in to the SSH server by using SFTP to access files on the server.

3. 4. 5.

Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data: l l l Client001 with the password as huawei and adopt the password authentication. Client002, adopt the RSA authentication and assign the public key RsaKey001 to Client002. IP address of the SSH server is 10.10.1.1.

Procedure
Step 1 Generate a local key pair on the server.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] sysname SSH Server [SSH Server] rsa local-key-pair create The key name will be: SSH Server_Host The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048). NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512, It will take a few minutes. Input the bits in the modulus[default = 512]: 768 Generating keys... .........++++++++ ......................++++++++ ......................+++++++++ .....+++++++++

Step 2 Create an SSH user on the server.


NOTE

The SSH user can be authenticated in four modes: password, RSA, password-rsa, and all. l When the SSH adopts the password or password-rsa authentication, configure a local user with the same name. l When the SSH user adopts the RSA, password-rsa, or all authentication, the server should save the RSA public key for the SSH client.

# Configure the VTY user Interface.

8.8.10 Example for Configuring the Access of the SFTP Server on the Public Network When the Management VPN Instance Is Used
This part provides an example for configuring the access of the SFTP server on the public network when the management VPN instance is used. In this example, after generating the local key pair on the SFTP client and SSH server, generating the RSA public key on the SSH server, and binding the RSA public key to the client, you can connect the SFTP client to the SFTP server on the public network when using the management VPN instance.

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 8-18, a management VPN instance is configured for Client001 and Client002. Users use the VPN instance to access the FTP server. To enable the client to access the SFTP server on the public network, you need to connect the router to the SFTP server on the public network. The Huawei router functions as an SSH server. Two users client001 and client002 are configured to access the SSH server in the authentication mode of password and RSA respectively.

8.8.11 Example for Accessing the SSH Server Through Other Port Numbers
This section provides an example for accessing the SSH server through other port numbers.In this example, the monitoring port number of the SSH server is set to a port number other than the standard monitoring port number so that only valid users can set up connections with the SSH server.

Networking Requirements
The standard monitored port number of the SSH protocol is 22. The frequent malicious accesses to the standard port consume bandwidth and affect the performance of the server, and other users cannot access the standard port. After the number of the port monitored by the SSH server is set to other port numbers, the attacker does not know the change of the number of the monitored port and keeps sending socket connection requests with the standard port 22. After detecting that the port number inthe connection requests is not the number of the monitored port, the SSH does not set up the socket connection. Thus, only the valid user can set up the socket connection through the non-standard monitored port set by the SSH server, and follow the procedure of negotiating the SSH version number,

8.8.12 Example for an SSH Client in the Public Network to Access an SSH Server in the Private Network
In this example, SSH attributes of users on the public network are configured so as to access the SSH server on the private network through STelnet or SFTP.

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 8-20, PE1 as an SSH client resides on an MPLS backbone network, and CE1 as an SSH server is located at a private network of AS 65410. The users in the public network can safely access and manage CE1 on the private network through PE1. The Huawei router functions as an SSH server. The client client001 is configured to log in to the SSH server by using STelnet in the authentication mode of password; the client client002 is configured to log in to the SSH server by using SFTP in the authentication mode of RSA.

Configuration Roadmap
The roadmap for configuring SSH supporting access from the private network as follows: 1. 2. 3. Configure a VPN instance on the PE functioning as an SSH client so that the CE can access the PE. Set up EBGP peer relationships between PEs and CEs and import VPN routes. Create a local RSA key pair on the STelnet client Client002 and the SSH server, and bind the client client002 to an RSA key to authenticate the client when the client attempts to log in to the server. Enable the STelnet and SFTP service on the SSH server. Users in the public network access devices in the private network through STelent and SFTP.

4. 5.

Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data. l l l l l l Name of vpn-instance vpn1 on PE VPN-target on PE is 111:1 IP address 10.1.1.2 of PE1; IP address 10.1.2.2 of PE2 Client001 with the password as huawei and adopt the password authentication Client002, adopt the RSA authentication and assign the public key RsaKey001 to Client002 IP address of the SSH server CE1 on the private network, that is, 10.1.1.1

Procedure
Step 1 Configure the MPLS backbone network With IGP configured on the MPLS backbone network, the PE on the backbone network can communicate with P; configure the MPLS basic capability and MPLS LDP, and create LDP LSPs. The detailed configurations are not mentioned here. For more information, refer to the configuration file of this example. Step 2 Configure the VPN instance. Configure VPN on PE and connect CE to PE. # Configure PE1.
[PE1] ip vpn-instance vpn1 [PE1-vpn-instance-vpn1] route-distinguisher 100:1 [PE1-vpn-instance-vpn1] vpn-target 111:1 both [PE1-vpn-instance-vpn1] quit [PE1] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 [PE1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip binding vpn-instance vpn1 [PE1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip address 10.1.1.2 24 [PE1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Configure PE2.
[PE2] ip vpn-instance vpn1 [PE2-vpn-instance-vpn1] route-distinguisher 200:1 [PE2-vpn-instance-vpn1] vpn-target 111:1 both [PE2-vpn-instance-vpn1] quit [PE2] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 [PE2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip binding vpn-instance vpn1 [PE2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo shutdown [PE2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip address 10.1.2.2 24 [PE2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Configure IP addresses of interfaces on CEs as shown in Figure 8-20. The detailed configurations are not mentioned here. After the configuration, run the display ip vpn-instance verbose command on PE. You can view the configuration of VPN. Each PE can ping through the accessed CE.
NOTE

In case of several VPN interfaces bound with PE, you have to run the ping -vpn-instance vpn-instancename -a source-ip-address dest-ip-address command to ping the CE that connects to the peer PE. The source IP address must be specified. Otherwise, it may fail to ping through.

Take PE1 and CE1 for example:


[PE1] display ip vpn-instance verbose Total VPN-Instances configured : 1 VPN-Instance Name and ID : vpn1, 1 Create date : 2007/06/08 11:42:58 Up time : 0 days, 00 hours, 03 minutes and 27 seconds Route Distinguisher : 100:1 Export VPN Targets : 111:1 Import VPN Targets : 111:1 Label policy : label per route The diffserv-mode Information is : uniform The ttl-mode Information is : uniform Interfaces : GigabitEthernet2/0/0 [PE1] ping -vpn-instance vpn1 10.1.1.1 PING 10.1.1.1: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=56 Sequence=1 ttl=255 time=260 ms Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=56 Sequence=2 ttl=255 time=70 ms Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=56 Sequence=3 ttl=255 time=60 ms

Step 3 Establish EBGP peer relationship between PEs and CEs and import VPN router. # Configure CE1.
[CE1] bgp [CE1-bgp] [CE1-bgp] [CE1-bgp] 65410 peer 10.1.1.2 as-number 100 import-route direct quit

# Configure PE1.
[PE1] bgp 100 [PE1-bgp] ipv4-family vpn-instance vpn1 [PE1-bgp-vpn1] peer 10.1.1.1 as-number 65410 [PE1-bgp-vpn1] import-route direct [PE1-bgp-vpn1] quit [PE1-bgp] quit

# Configure CE2.
[CE2] bgp [CE2-bgp] [CE2-bgp] [CE2-bgp] 65420 peer 10.1.2.2 as-number 100 import-route direct quit

# Configure PE2.
[PE2] bgp 100 [PE2-bgp] ipv4-family vpn-instance vpn1 [PE2-bgp-vpn1] peer 10.1.2.1 as-number 65420 [PE2-bgp-vpn1] import-route direct [PE2-bgp-vpn1] quit [PE2-bgp] quit

After configuration, run the display bgp vpnv4 vpn-instance peer command on PE. You can view that the BGP peer relationship between PE and CE is created and in the established state. Take the peer relationship between PE 1 and CE 1 as an example.
[PE1] display bgp vpnv4 vpn-instance vpn1 peer BGP local router ID : 1.1.1.9 Local AS number : 100 Total number of peers : 1 Peers in established state : 1 Peer V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent OutQ Up/Down State 10.1.1.1 4 65410 3 3 0 00:00:37 Established

9 Clock Synchronization Configuration

9.1 Introduction of Clock Synchronization Configuration


Clock synchronization ensures that digital pulse signals are sent and received in a specific timeslot.

9.1.1 Overview of Clock Synchronization Configuration


Clock synchronization ensures that digital pulse signals are sent and received in a specific timeslot.

Definition
Synchronization must be maintained on Data Communications Networks (DCN). The sending end places a pulse in a specified timeslot at the end of the digital pulse signal. The receiving end extracts the pulse in the specified timeslot, so that normal communications between sending and receiving ends are guaranteed. A clock ensures that signals are sent in a certain timeslot and then received and extracted from that timeslot.

Purpose
Clock synchronization is used to keep differences in clock frequency and phase among network elements on a digital network within a specific range. If the differences exceed the specified range, bit errors and jitter occur and transmission performance is degraded.

9.1.2 Clock Synchronization Supported by the NE80E/40E


Clock Transmission
The clock signals can be transmitted on the Ethernet network, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network, and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) network.

Tracing BITS Clock


For the Building Integrated Timing Supply System (BITS) clock source, the clock module extracts Synchronization Status Messages (SSMs) from the 2.048 Mbit/s stream signals, or the Main Processing Unit (MPU) sets a preset SSM level for the 2.048 MHz clock signals.

Stratum-3 Clock Source


The device that provides the clock signals for the local device is called the clock source. The local device may have multiple clock sources. Include BITS0, BITS1, BITS2 and PTP.

HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

9 Clock Synchronization Configuration

The clock reference source is in the Abnormal state. The QL of the clock reference source is QL-DNU. The clock works in hold mode. You can switch the mode of configuring the clock reference source from manual to forcible through command lines. The clock reference source should be specified on the master clock, as shown in Figure 9-1. On Router A, the external clock interface, bits0, on the master clock board is connected to BITS0, one reference clock source; the external clock interface, bits0, on the slave clock board is connected to BITS1, another reference clock source. The output clock signals of BITS0 and BITS1 are same. Router A is manually or forcibly configured to trace the clock signal input through bits0. In normal situations, Router A traces the BITS0 clock reference source. When the master clock board fails, a switchover of the clock boards is performed. After that, Router A traces the BITS1 clock reference source. Figure 9-1 Diagram of configuring the clock reference source manually

9 Clock Synchronization Configuration

9.5 Configuring Clock Protection Switching Based on SSM Levels


The higher its SSM level, the more accurate a clock is. By default, a clock board uses the most accurate clock source available.

9.5.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Applicable Environment
Synchronous Ethernet signals can be used to carry SSM messages. The system then selects one clock source based on the SSM levels of all the available clock sources. If clock sources are configured with SSM levels, the configured SSM levels are used; if clock sources are not configured with SSM levels, the SSM levels carried in the SSM messages are extracted for use. The SSM levels include Primary Reference Clock (PRC), primary level SSU (SSU-A), second level SSU (SSU-B), SDH Equipment Clock (SEC), Do Not Use for synchronization (DNU), and UNK in the descending order. If the SSM level of a clock source is DNU and SSM is enabled, the clock source is not selected during protection switchover. The BITS clock has two types of signal. When the BITS clock signal is 2.048 Mbit/s, the clock board extracts the SSM from the signal. When the BITS clock signal is 2.048 MHz, set the SSM level manually.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring protection switchover of clock sources based on SSM levels, complete the following tasks: l Configuring an external clock reference source and its signal type on the device.

Data Preparation
To configure protection switchover of clock sources based on SSM levels, you need SSM levels of clock sources.

9.6 Configuring Clock Protection Switching Based on Priorities


If clock sources are configured with different priorities, then the clock source with the second highest priority becomes effective immediately after the clock source with the highest priority fails.

9.6.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Applicable Environment
When you configure protection switchover of clock sources based on priorities, you need to run the command clock ssm-control off to disable SSM. When there are multiple clock sources, you can set different priorities for them. Normally, the clock uses the clock source with the highest priority. When the clock source with the highest priority is faulty, the clock uses the clock source with the second highest priority. By default the priority of a clock reference source is not set, it indicates that this clock reference source does not participate in selecting the clock source.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring protection switchover of clock sources based on priorities, complete the following tasks: l Configuring an external clock reference source and its signal type on the device.

The interface view is displayed. Step 3 Run:


nap login neighbor

The login to the slave device from the master device is performed. l If the slave device has an empty configuration, you can log in to the slave device from the master device without a user name and a password. l If, however, the slave device is configured with user name(s) and password(s), you must enter the correct user name and password to perform a NAP-based remote login to the slave device.
NOTE

To ensure security for NAP, the slave device having an empty configuration checks the source address of the Telnet login. If the Telnet source address is the NAP address of the master device that is telnetting to the slave device, the slave device allows the master device to directly log in without being authenticated. This is because by default, the user level of the remote login based on the NAP address is the same as the login through the console interface, which enjoys the highest user level. If the Telnet source address is not the NAP address of the master device, the remote login fails.

12 Patch Management

12.1 Introduction of Patch Management


This section describes the basics of the patch.

12.1.1 Overview of Patch Management


You can install patches to improve system functions.

Patch Overview
During the operation of the device, you need to revise the system software sometimes such as remove the system defects or add new functions for service requirements. We used to upgrade the software after shutting down the system. This static upgrade affects the service on the device and does not improve the communication. If we load a patch to the system software, we can upgrade it online without interrupting the operation of the device. This dynamic upgrade does not affect the service and can improve the communication.

Patch Area
In the memory of the Main Processing Unit (MPU) and Line Processing Unit (LPU), a certain space is reserved to save the patch. This space is called patch area. To install the patch, save the patch to the patch area in advance in the memory of the board. The patch saved in the patch area is numbered uniquely. Up to 200 patches can be saved to the patch area in the memory of the MPU or LPU.

Patch States
Patch status can be idle, deactive, active, and running. For details, seeTable 12-1, Table 12-1 Patch states State No patch (idle) deactive Description The patch file is saved to the CF card but not loaded to the patch area in the memory. The patch is loaded to the patch area but disabled. States Conversion When the patch is loaded to the patch area, the patch status is set to deactive. The patch in the deactive state can be as follows: l Uninstalled, that is, deleted from the patch area. l Enabled temporarily and turns to the active state.

CAUTION
When installing a patch, it is recommended to specify all to install the patch for all boards at one time rather than specify slot to install the patch for boards one by one. In some special scenarios, you must specify slot to install a patch for the master and slave MPUs, and then for all LPUs one by one. Installing patches can fix system vulnerabilities or correct system defects. By installing a patch, you can upgrade the system without upgrading the system software. When a patch is uploaded, the system checks that the patch version is the same as the system version. If the two versions are not the same, the system prompts that the patch uploading fails.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before installing a patch, upload the patch to the root directory of the CF card of the master and slave MPUs.
