can log in to the switch through the console port.
In the following cases, a switch can be configured only through the console port:
l The switch is powered on for the first time.

l The subscriber cannot login through Telnet.
1.1.2 Login Through Telnet

If you know the IP address of a switch, you can log in to the switch through Telnet to perform
local or remote configurations.
YYou need to pre-configure the IP addresses of interfaces, the user account, the authentication
mode, and the incoming and outgoing call restriction through the console interface on the
switch. Also, ensure that directly-connected or reachable switch exist between terminals and the
switch.
The destination switch authenticates the user based on the configured parameters in three modes:
l Password authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct password.
l AAA local authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct user name
and password.
l None authentication: indicates that the login user need not enter the user name or password.
If the login succeeds, a command line prompt such as <Quidway> appears on the Telnet client
interface.
Enter a command to check the running status of the switch or to configure the switch.
Enter "?" for help.
NOTE
Do not modify the IP address of the switch when you configure the switch through Telnet because the
modification may terminate Telnet connection. Otherwise, set up the connection again after entering a new
IP address.

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 2 CLI Overview
2 CLI Overview
About This Chapter
Users operate devices, that is, configure the device and perform routine maintenance, by entering
command lines.
2.1 CLI Introduction

The command line interface (CLI) is the common tool for running commands.
2.2 Online Help
When you enter command lines or configure services, online help offers real-time help in
addition to the configuration guide.
2.3 Features of Command Line Interface
You can edit command lines, display command lines, use the regular expression for command
lines, and invoke historical commands.
2.4 Shortcut Keys
Using the system or user-defined shortcut keys makes it easier to enter commands.
This section provides several examples for using command lines.

2.1 CLI Introduction

The command line interface (CLI) is the common tool for running commands.
2.1.1 Command Line Interface

You can configure and manage a switch by using the CLI commands.
When a prompt appears, you enter the command line interface (CLI) and interact with switch
through CLI.
The system provides a series of configuration commands. You can configure and manage the
switch by entering commands on CLI.
The characteristics of CLI are as follows:
l Local configuration through console port.
l Local or remote configuration through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).
l A user interface view for specific configuration management.
l Hierarchical command protection for users of different levels, that is, running the
commands of the corresponding level.
l None authentication, password authentication and Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting (AAA) to prevent the unauthorized user from accessing the switch.
l Entering "?" for online help at any time.
l Network testing commands such as tracert and ping for rapidly diagnosing a network.
l Abundant debugging information to help in diagnosing the network.
l The telnet command for directly logging in to and manage other switch.
l FTP service for file uploading and downloading.
l Running a history command, like DosKey.
l 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.
NOTE
l The system supports the command with up to 512 characters. The command can be incomplete.
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 adopts a hierarchical protection mode that has 16 command levels.
The default command levels are as follows:

l Level 0-Visit level: 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).

l Level 1-Monitoring level: Commands of this level, including the display commands, are
used for system maintenance and fault diagnosis.
l Level 2-Configuration level: Commands of this level are service configuration commands
that provide direct network service to the user, including routing and network layer
commands.
l Level 3-Management level: 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.
CAUTION
Not all display commands are of the monitoring level. For example, the display current-
configuration and display saved-configuration commands are of the management level. For
the level of a command, see the Quidway S7700 Command Reference.
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 Quidway S7700 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 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. For details of login user levels, refer to
User Management.
2.1.3 Command Views

The command line interface has different command views. All the commands must register in
one or more command views. You can run a command only when you enter the corresponding
command view.
Basic Concepts of Command Views

# Establish connection with the switch. If the switch adopts the default configuration, you can
enter the user view with the prompt of <Quidway>.
<Quidway>
# Type system-view, and you can enter the system view.

[Quidway]
# Type aaa in the system view, and you can enter the AAA view.
[Quidway] aaa
[Quidway-aaa]

NOTE
The prompt <Quidway> indicates the default switch name. The prompt <> indicates the user view and the
prompt [] indicates other views.
Some commands that are implemented in the system view can also be implemented in the other
views; however, the functions that can be implemented are command view-specific.
Common Views
The S7700 provides various command line views. For the methods of entering the command
line views except the following views, see the Quidway S7700 Command Reference.
l User View
Item Description
Function Displays the running status and statistics of the S7700.
Entry command Enters the user view after the connection is set up.
Prompt upon <Quidway>

entry
Quit command <Quidway>quit
Prompt upon None.

quit
l System View
Item Description
Function Sets the system parameters of the S7700, and enters other function
views from this view.
Entry command <Quidway> system-view
Prompt upon [Quidway]

entry
Quit command [Quidway] quit
Prompt upon <Quidway>

quit
l Ethernet Interface View

– Fast Ethernet (FE) interface view
Item Description
Function Sets parameters related to FE interfaces of the S7700 and manages

the FE interfaces.
Entry [Quidway] interface ethernet X/Y/Z

command

Item Description
Prompt upon [Quidway-EthernetX/Y/Z]

entry
Quit command [Quidway-EthernetX/Y/Z] quit

quit
NOTE
X/Y/Z indicates the number of an FE interface that needs to be configured. It is in the format of
slot number/sub card number/interface sequence number.
– GE interface view
Item Description
Function Configures related parameters about the GE interfaces of the

S7700 and manages the GE interfaces.
Entry [Quidway] interface GigabitEthernet X/Y/Z

command
Prompt upon [Quidway-GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z]

entry
Quit command [Quidway-GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z] quit

quit
NOTE
X/Y/Z indicates the number of a GE interface that needs to be configured. It is in the format of
slot number/sub card number/interface sequence number.
If an LPU provides GE interfaces and 10GE interfaces, the difference lies in the subcard where
the 10GE interfaces reside. Generally, the sequence number of a 10GE interface is 1. If an LPU
provides only 10GE interfaces, the method of entering the 10GE interface view is the same as
the method of entering the GE interface view.
2.2 Online Help

When you enter command lines or configure services, online help offers real-time help in
addition to the configuration guide.
Context
The command line of S7700 provides three types of online help:
l Full help

l Partial help
l Error Messages of the Command Line Interface
2.2.1 Full Help

When you enter a command line, you can view the description of keywords or parameters in the
command line through the Full Help.
Context
You can obtain the full help of the command line in the following ways.
Procedure
l Enter "?" in any command line view to display all the commands and their simple
descriptions.
<Quidway> ?
l Enter a command and "?" separated by a space. If the key word is at this position, all key
words and their simple descriptions are displayed. For example:
<Quidway> language-mode ?
Chinese Chinese environment
English English environment
Chinese and English are keywords; Chinese environment and English environment
describe the keywords respectively.
l Enter a command and "?" separated by a space, and if a parameter is at this position, the
related parameter names and parameter descriptions are displayed. For example:
[Quidway] ftp timeout ?
INTEGER<1-35791> The value of FTP timeout (in minutes)
[Quidway] ftp timeout 35 ?
<cr>
In the preceding display, INTEGER<1-35791> describes the parameter value; The value
of FTP timeout (in minutes) is a simple description of the parameter usage; <cr> indicates
that no parameter is at this position. The command is repeated in the next command line.
You can press Enter to run the command.
----End
2.2.2 Partial Help

When you enter a command line, you can obtain prompts on the keywords or parameters at the
beginning of the string through the Partial Help.
Context
You can obtain the partial help of the command line in the following ways.
Procedure
l Enter a character string with a "?" closely following it to display all commands that begin
with this character string.

the complete key word on the condition that the letters uniquely identify the key word.
Otherwise, if you continue to press Tab, different key words are displayed. You can select
the needed key word.
----End
2.2.3 Error Messages of the Command Line Interface

If an entered command passes the syntax check, the system executes it. Otherwise, the system
prompts an error message.
All the commands entered by the user are run correctly, if the grammar check has been passed.
Otherwise, error messages are reported to the user. See Table 2-1 for the common error
messages.
Table 2-1 Common error messages of the command line

Error messages Cause of the error
Unrecognized command The command cannot be found
The key word cannot be found
Wrong parameter Parameter type error
The parameter value exceeds the limit
Incomplete command Incomplete command entered
Too many parameters Too many parameters entered
Ambiguous command Indefinite parameters entered
2.3 Features of Command Line Interface

You can edit command lines, display command lines, use the regular expression for command
lines, and invoke historical commands.
2.3.1 Editing
The editing function of command lines helps you edit command lines or obtain help by using
certain keys.
The command line supports multi-line edition. The maximum length of each command is 512
characters.
Keys for editing that are often used are shown in Table 2-2.

Table 2-2 Keys for editing
Key Function
Common key Inserts a character in the current position of the cursor if the editing
buffer is not full and the cursor moves to the right. Otherwise, an
alarm is generated.
Backspace Deletes the character on the left of the cursor that moves to the
left. When the cursor reaches the head of the command, an alarm
is generated.
Left cursor key ← or Moves the cursor to the left by the space of a character. When the
Ctrl_B cursor reaches the head of the command, an alarm is generated.
Right cursor key → or Moves the cursor to the right by the space of a character. When
Ctrl_F the cursor reaches the end of the command, an alarm is generated.
Tab Press Tab after typing the incomplete key word and the system
runs the partial help:
l If the matching key word is unique, the system replaces the
typed one with the complete key word and displays it in a new
line with the cursor a space behind.
l If there are several matches or no match at all, the system
displays the prefix first. Then you can press Tab to view the
matching key word one by one. In this case, the cursor closely
follows the end of the word and you can type a space to enter
the next word.
l If a wrong key word is entered, press Tab and the word is
displayed in a new line.
2.3.2 Displaying
All command lines have the same displaying feature. You can construct the displaying mode as
required.
You can control the display of information on CLI as follows:
l Display prompt and help information in both Chinese and English.

l When the information displayed exceeds a full screen, it provides the pause function. In
this case, the user has three choices as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 Keys for displaying
Key Function
Ctrl_C Stops the display and running of the command.

NOTE
You can also press any of the keys except the spacebar and Enter key
to stop the display and running of the command.
Space Continues to display the information on the next screen.

Key Function
Enter Continues to display the information on the next line.
2.3.3 Regular Expressions

The regular expression is a mode matching tool. You can construct the matching mode based
on certain rules, and then match the mode with the target object.
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.
A regular expression can provide the following functions:
l Searching for and obtaining a sub-string that matches a rule in the string.
l 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, punctuations, 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 2-4 describes particular characters and their syntax.
Table 2-4 Description of particular characters

Particul Syntax Example
ar
characte
r
\ Defines an escape character, which \* matches "*".

is used to mark the next character
(common or particular) as the
common character.
^ Matches the starting position of the ^10 matches "10.10.10.1" instead of

string. "20.10.10.1".
$ Matches the ending position of the 1$ matches "10.10.10.1" instead of

string. "10.10.10.2".

Particul Syntax Example

ar
characte
r
* Matches the preceding element zero 10* matches "1", "10", "100", and
or more times. "1000".
(10)* matches "null", "10", "1010",
and "101010".
+ Matches the preceding element one 10+ matches "10", "100", and
or more times "1000".
(10)+ matches "10", "1010", and
"101010".
? Matches the preceding element zero 10? matches "1" and "10".
or one time. (10)? matches "null" and "10".
. Matches any single character. 0.0 matches "0x0" and "020".

.oo matches "book", "look", and
"tool".
() Defines a subexpression, which can 100(200)+ matches "100200" and

be null. Both the expression and the "100200200".
subexpression should be matched.
x|y Matches x or y. 100|200 matches "100" or "200".

1(2|3)4 matches "124" or "134",
instead of "1234", "14", "1224", and
"1334".
[xyz] Matches any single character in the [123] matches the character 2 in
regular expression. "255".
[^xyz] Matches any character that is not [^123] matches any character except
contained within the brackets. for "1", "2", and "3".
[a-z] Matches any character within the [0-9] matches any character ranging
specified range. from 0 to 9.
[^a-z] Matches any character beyond the [^0-9] matches all non-numeric
specified range. characters.
_ Matches a comma "," left brace "{", _2008_ matches "2008", "space
right brace "}", left parenthesis "(", 2008 space", "space 2008", "2008
and right parenthesis ")". space", ",2008,", "{2008}",
Matches the starting position of the "(2008)", "{2008", and "(2008}".
input string.
Matches the ending position of the
input string.
Matches a space.

NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, all characters in the preceding table are displayed on the screen.
l Degeneration of particular characters
Certain particular characters, when being placed at the following positions in the regular
expression, degenerate to common characters.
– The particular characters following "\" is transferred to match particular characters
themselves.
– The particular characters "*", "+", and "?" placed at the starting position of the regular
expression. For example, +45 matches "+45" and abc(*def) matches "abc*def".
– The particular character "^" placed at any position except for the start of the regular
expression. For example, abc^ matches "abc^".
– The particular character "$" placed at any position except for the end of the regular
expression. For example, 12$2 matches "12$2".
– The right bracket such as ")" or "]" being not paired with its corresponding left bracket
"(" or "[". For example, abc) matches "abc)" and 0-9] matches "0-9]".
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, degeneration rules are applicable when preceding regular expressions
serve as subexpressions within parentheses.
l Combination of common and particular characters
In actual application, a regular expression combines multiple common and particular
characters to match certain strings.
Specifying a Filtering Mode in Command
CAUTION
The Quidway S7700 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 | begin regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matches
regular expression.
l | exclude regular-expression: displays the information that excludes the lines that match
regular expression.
l | 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 /regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matches regular
expression.
l -regular-expression: displays the information that excludes lines that match regular
expression.
l +regular-expression: displays the information that includes lines that match regular
expression.
2.3.4 History Commands

The command line interface provides a function similar to DosKey, which can automatically
save historical commands. You can invoke the historical commands saved on the command line
interface at any time and run them again.
By default, the system saves 10 history commands at most for each user. The operations are as
shown in Table 2-5.
Table 2-5 Access the history commands
Action Key or Command Result
Display the display history- Display the history commands entered by users.
history command

Access the last Up cursor key↑ or Display the last history command if there is an
history Ctrl_P earlier history command. Otherwise, a bell is
command. generated.
Access the next Down cursor key ↓ Display the next history command if there is a later
history or Ctrl_N history command. Otherwise, the command is
command. cleared and a bell 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 the history commands, note the following:
l The saved history 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.
l 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 history
command is saved. If the disp ip routing command and the display ip routing-table
command are run, two history commands are saved.

2.3.5 Batch Command Execution

By running pre-defined command lines in batches, you can simplify the operation of entering
common commands and improve efficiency.
Context
Log in to the switch from the client and do as follows:
Procedure
Step 1 Run the batch-cmd edit to edit commands to be run in batches.
The batch-cmd edit command can be used by only one user at a time.
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
After running the batch-cmd edit command to successfully edit the commands to be executed in batches,
the system deletes the original commands to be run in batches.
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 Run the batch-cmd execute to execute commands 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.
----End
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-oriented and 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.
l System-defined shortcut keys: These shortcut keys with fixed functions are defined by the
system. Table 2-6 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.
Table 2-6 System-defined shortcut keys
Key Function
CTRL_A The cursor moves to the beginning of the current line.
CTRL_B The cursor moves to the left by the space of a character.
CTRL_C Terminates the running function.
CTRL_D Deletes the character where the cursor lies.
CTRL_E The cursor moves to the end of the current line.
CTRL_F The cursor moves to the right by the space of a character.
CTRL_H Deletes one character on the left of the cursor.
CTRL_K Stops the creation of the outbound connection.
CTRL_N Displays the next command in the history command buffer.
CTRL_P Displays the previous command in the history command buffer.
CTRL_R Repeats the display of the information of the current line.
CTRL_T Terminates the outbound connection.
CTRL_V Pastes the contents on the clipboard.
CTRL_W Deletes a character string or character on the left of the cursor.
CTRL_X Deletes all the characters on the left of the cursor.
CTRL_Y Deletes all the characters on the right of the cursor.
CTRL_Z Returns to the user view.
CTRL_] Terminates the inbound or redirection connections.
ESC_B The cursor moves to the left by the space of a word.
ESC_D Deletes a word on the right of the cursor.
ESC_F The cursor moves to the right to the end of next word.
ESC_N The cursor moves downward to the next line.
ESC_P The cursor moves upward to the previous line.
ESC_SHIFT_< Sets the position of the cursor to the beginning of the content to
be pasted into the clipboard.
ESC_SHIFT_> Sets the position of the cursor to the end of the content to be
pasted into the clipboard.

2.4.2 Defining Shortcut Keys

Only management-level users have the rights to define shortcut keys.
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.
Configure as follows in the system view.
Action Command
Define shortcut keys hotkey { CTRL_G | CTRL_L | CTRL_O | CTRL_U }

command-text
By default, CTRL_G, CTRL_L and CTRL_O correspond to the following commands

respectively:
l CTRL_G: display current-configuration
l CTRL_L: display ip routing-table
l CTRL_O: undo debugging all
The default commands of the other shortcut keys are null.
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.
l 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 switch, 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 Command
Check the usage of shortcut keys. display hotkey

This section provides several examples for using command lines.

This section describes different types of interfaces. The interfaces are provided by the S7700 to
receive and send data.
3.2 Setting Basic Parameters of an Interface
This section describes how to set the basic parameters of an interface.

This section describes how to maintain the interface.

3.1 Introduction to Interfaces

This section describes different types of interfaces. The interfaces are provided by the S7700 to
receive and send data.
Interfaces are classified into management interfaces and service interfaces based on their
functions; interfaces are classified into physical interfaces and logical interfaces based on their
physical forms.
NOTE
A physical interface is sometimes called a port. Both physical interfaces and logical interfaces are called
interfaces in this document.
Management Interface
Management interfaces are used to manage and configure a device. You can log in to the
S7700 through a management interface to configure and manage the S7700. Management
interfaces do not transmit service data.
The S7700 provides the following management interfaces:

l Console interface
l Eth interface
Table 3-1 Description of management interfaces
Name Usage
Console interface It is connected to the COM port of a configuration terminal and used
to set up an onsite configuration environment.
Eth interface The Eth interface is connected to the network interface of a

configuration terminal or network management workstation to establish
the configuration environment onsite or remotely.
The S7700 series consist of three models: S7703, S7706, and S7712. The console interface and
Eth interface are on the main control board.
The following table shows the rule for numbering management interfaces.
Table 3-2 Management interface numbers
Name Number
Console interface Console 0.
Eth interface Ethernet 0/0/0.

Classification of Service Interfaces

Service interfaces are used to transmit service data. They are classified into 100 Mbit/s interfaces,
1 Gbit/s interfaces and 10 Gbit/s interfaces according to their rates; they are classified into
electrical interfaces and optical interfaces according to their electrical properties.
On the S7700, all the service interfaces are located on the Line Processing Units (LPUs).
The rules for numbering service interfaces are as follows:
The interfaces of the S7700 are numbered in the format slot ID/subcard ID/interface sequence
number.
l Slot ID: indicates the ID of the slot where an LPU is located.
l Subcard ID: indicates the ID of a subcard. The value is 0.
l Interface sequence number: indicates the sequence number of an interface on an LPU.
Table 3-3 Service interface numbering rule
Interf Figure of Interface Numbering Description

ace
Row
No.
1 0 1 2 The left most interface is

... numbered 1. and the other
interfaces are numbered in
ascending order from left to right.
2 ... The LPU has two rows of

0 2 4
interfaces with the upper-left
... interface numbered 0. The other
1 3 5 ... interfaces are numbered in
ascending order from up to bottom,
and then from left to right.
For example: If an LPU is installed in slot 3 of the S7700, the fifth interface on the LPU from
bottom to up and from left to right is numbered GE 3/0/4.
Physical Interfaces
Physical interfaces are interfaces that actually exist on the S7700.
Physical interfaces include management interfaces and service interfaces.
The S7700 supports the following physical interfaces:
l Console interface
l Eth interface
l EPON interface
l Fast Ethernet interface
l Gigabit Ethernet interface

l 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface
Physical interfaces are located on the main control board and LPUs of the S7700.
Logical Interfaces
Logical interfaces do not exist and are set up by configurations.
The S7700 supports the following logical interfaces:
l Eth-Trunk
The Eth-Trunk consists of Ethernet links only.
The Eth-Trunk technique has the following advantages:
– Increased bandwidth: The bandwidth of an Eth-Trunk is the total bandwidth of all
member interfaces.
– Improved reliability: When a link fails, traffic is automatically switched to other
available links. This ensures link reliability.
For details about the Eth-Trunk configuration, see "Configuring the Eth-Trunk" in the
Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - Ethernet.
l Loopback interface
A loopback interface is a virtual interface. The TCP/IP protocol suite defines IP address
127.0.0.0 as a loopback address. When the system starts, it automatically creates an
interface using the loopback address 127.0.0.1 to receive all data packets sent to the local
device.
Some applications such as mutual access between virtual private networks need a local
interface with a specified IP address without affecting the configuration of physical
interfaces. This IP address has a 32-bit mask (to save IP addresses) and can be advertised
by routing protocols.
The status of a loopback interface is always Up; therefore, the IP address of the loopback
interface can be used as the router ID, the label switching router (LSR) ID, or be land to a
tunnel.
For details, see 3.3 Configuring the Loopback Interface.
l Null interface
Null interfaces are similar to null devices supported by certain operating systems. Any data
packets sent to a null interface are discarded. Null interfaces are used for route selection
and policy-based routing (PBR). For example, if a packet matches no route during route
selection, the packet is sent to the null interface.
l Tunnel interface
A tunnel interface can be used as the backup interface of other interfaces and used to set
up Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels or Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels.
For details about the configuration, see "Configuring the Tunnel Interface" in the Quidway
S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service.
l MTunnel interface
An MTunnel interface (MTI) is the ingress or egress of a multicast tunnel (MT). The local
provider edge (PE) sends data of the private network through the MTI, and the remote PE
receives data of the private network through MTI.

For details about the configuration, see "Configuring the MTI" in the Quidway S7700
Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - Multicast.
l Sub-interface
The sub-interface provides a solution to creating multiple logical interfaces or network
interconnections on a physical interface. Several logical interfaces are associated with a
physical interface and use the same parameter values. The link-layer parameters and
network-layer parameters of the logical interfaces are different. For the configuration of
sub-interfaces, see "Configuring the sub-interface" in the Quidway S7700 Smart Routing
Switch Configuration Guide - Ethernet.
l VLANIF interface
When the S7700 needs to communicate with devices at the network layer, you can create
a logical interface of the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on the S7700, namely, a
VLANIF interface. You can assign IP addresses to VLANIF interfaces because VLANIF
interfaces work at the network layer. The S7700 then communicates with devices at the
network layer through VLANIF interfaces.
For details about the configuration, see "Configuring the VLANIF Interface" in the
Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - Ethernet.
3.2 Setting Basic Parameters of an Interface

This section describes how to set the basic parameters of an interface.

Before configuring advanced functions of an interface such as the working mode and routes,
you need to complete the basic configuration of the interface.
To facilitate the configuration and maintenance of an interface, the S7700 provides interface
views. The commands related to the interface are valid only in the interface views.
The basic interface configurations include entering an interface view, configuring interface
description, enabling an interface, and disabling an interface.

3.3 Configuring the Loopback Interface

This section describes how to configure the loopback interface.

The users can create or delete a loopback interface. When being created, the loopback interface
remains in the Up state until you delete it.
Some applications such as mutual access between virtual private networks need to be configured
with a local interface with a specified IP address when the configuration of a physical interface
is not affected. In this case, the IP address of the local interface needs to be advertised by routing
protocols. Loopback interfaces are used to improve the reliability of the configuration.
Before configuring the loopback interface, complete the following task:
l Switching on the S7700
Data Preparation
To configure the loopback interface, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Number of the loopback interface
2 IP address of the loopback interface
3.3.2 Configuring IPv4 Parameters of the Loopback Interface

A loopback interface can be assigned an IPv4 address, bound to a VPN instance, and configured

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 4 Basic Configuration
4 Basic Configuration
About This Chapter
This chapter describes how to configure the basic system environment and the basic user
environment.
4.1 Basic Configuration Introduction

This section describes the meaning and scope of the basic configuration.
4.2 Configuring the Basic System Environment
This section describes how to configure the basic system environment according to user habits
or the requirements of the actual environment.
4.3 Configuring Basic User Environment
This section describes the configuration of the basic user environment for user level switching.
4.4 Displaying System Status Messages
This section describes the display commands that are used for displaying basic system
configurations.

4.1 Basic Configuration Introduction

This section describes the meaning and scope of the basic configuration.
Before configuring services, users often need to perform basic configurations for actual
operation and maintenance.
The S7700 provides configurations of two kinds of basic environments:
l Basic system environment: includes the language mode, host name, system name, system
time, header text, and command level for actual environment.
l Basic user environment: includes password for changing levels and the terminal lock.
4.2 Configuring the Basic System Environment

This section describes how to configure the basic system environment according to user habits
or the requirements of the actual environment.

Before configuring the basic system environment, familiarize yourself with the applicable
Before configuring the services, you need to configure the basic system environments to meet
the requirements of the actual environments.
By default, the S7700 supports commands of Level 0 to Level 3, namely, visit level, monitoring
level, configuration level, and management level.
If the user needs to define more levels, or refine management privileges on the device, the user
can extend the range of command line level from the range of Level 0 to Level 3 to the range of
Level 0 to Level 15.
Before configuring basic system environment, complete the following task:
l Powering on the switch
Data Preparation
To configure basic system environment, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Language mode
2 System time

No. Data
3 Host name
4 Login information
5 Command level
4.2.2 Switching the Language Mode

You can switch between the Chinese mode and the English mode as required.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
language-mode language-name
The language mode is switched.
By default, the English mode is used.
The help information on the switch can be in English and in Chinese. The language mode is
stored in the system software and need not be loaded.
----End
4.2.3 Configuring the Equipment Name

You can change the equipment name as required. The new equipment name takes effect
immediately.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
sysname host-name
The equipment name is set.
You can change the name of the switch that appears in the command prompt.

By default, the host name of the switch is Quidway.
----End
4.2.4 Setting the System Clock

To ensure that devices on the network work with the same clock, you need to set or change the
system clock.
Context
You need to set the system time properly to ensure the cooperation between the S7700 and other
devices. The S7700 supports the configurations of the time zone and the daylight saving time.
NOTE
UTC indicates the Universal Time Coordinated.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
clock datetime HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD
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.
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.
During the configuration of the daylight saving time, you can configure the start time and end
time in one of the following modes: date+date, week+week, date+week, and week+date. For
details, see clock daylight-saving-time.

NOTE
When the current time is within the daylight saving time, running the clock timezone time-zone-name
{ add | minus } offset command can successfully set the time zone name. If the display clock command
is run to view the time zone name at the moment, the time zone name, however, is displayed as the name
of the daylight saving time. After the daylight saving time ends, the set time zone name can be displayed.
----End
4.2.5 Configuring a Header

If you need to provide information for login users, you can configure a header that the system
displays during login or after login.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

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.

A header is a system prompt displayed when a user logs in to the switch or starts interactive
configuration with the switch. The header provides detailed instruction.
NOTE
l If a user logs in to the switch 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 switch by using SSH2.0, both login and shell headers are displayed.
----End
4.2.6 Configuring Command Levels

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 The commands of Level 0 and Level 1 remain unchanged.

l The command Level 2 is updated to Level 10 and Level 3 is updated to Level 15.
l 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.
NOTE
The updation of command Level 2 to Level 10 and Level 3 to Level 15 is not a two-step process but one-
step by batch.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
command-privilege level rearrange
Update the command level in batch.
When no password is configured for a Level 15 user, the system prompts the user to set a super-
password for the level 15 user. At the same time, the system asks if the user wants to continue
to update the command line level. Then, just select "N" to set a password. If you select "Y", the
command level can be updated in batch 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 need not reconfigure them.
----End
4.2.7 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.
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.

NOTE
l By default, the undo command does not automatically match the upper level view.
l The matched upper-view command is valid for current login users who run this command.
l It is not recommended that you configure the undo command to automatically match the upper level
view, unless necessary.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

Step 2 Run:
matched upper-view
The undo command is configured to match the upper level view.

By default, the undo command does not match the previous view automatically.
----End
4.3 Configuring Basic User Environment

This section describes the configuration of the basic user environment for user level switching.

Before configuring the basic user environment, familiarize yourself with the applicable
The user can log in to a switch with lower level to perform simple configurations or view
configurations. When the configuration is complicated, the user needs to switch to a high level.
Thus, it requires the user to configure the basic environment for switching levels.
Before configuring the basic environment for the user, complete the following task:
l Powering on the switch properly
Data Preparation
To configure the basic environment for the user, you need the following data:
No. Data
1 Password for the user level switching

4.3.2 Configuring the Password for Switching User Levels

Passwords need to be set for users that are switched from lower levels to higher levels.
Context
When users log in to the switch with a lower user level, they switch to a higher user level to
perform advanced operations by entering the corresponding password. The password needs to
be configured in advance.
CAUTION
When simple is used, the password is saved in the configuration files in simple text. Login users
with lower level can obtain the password by viewing the configuration. This may cause security
problems. Therefore, cipher is used to save the password in encrypted text.
If the pass word is set in cipher mode, the password cannot be resumed from the system. Save
the password to avoid oblivion or miss.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

Step 2 Run:
super password [ level user-level ] { simple | cipher } password
The password for switching user levels is configured.
----End
4.3.3 Switching User Levels

You need to enter the set password when being switched from a lower level to a higher level.
Context
An accurate password must be entered when the user is switched from a lower level to a higher
level.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
super [ level ]

User levels are switched.

Step 2 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
4.3.4 Locking User Interfaces

You can enter the set password to unlock the locked user interface.
Context
When you leave the operation terminals for a moment, you can lock the user interface to prevent
unauthorized users from operating the interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
lock
The user interface is locked.

Step 2 Follow the system prompt and input an unlock password, and then confirm.
<Quidway> lock
Enter Password:
Confirm Password:
If the locking is successful, the system prompts that the user interface is locked.
You must enter a correct password to unlock the user interface.
----End

4.4.3 Collecting System Diagnostic Information

You can view the system diagnosis information.
Context
Basic configuration is complete.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
display diagnostic-information [ file-name ]
The system diagnosis information is displayed.

When the system fails or performs the routine maintenance, you need to collect a lot of
information to locate faults. Then, you have to run different display commands to collect all
information. In this case, you can use the display diagnostic-information command to collect
all information about the current running modules in the system.
The display diagnostic-information command collects all information collected by running
the following commands, including display clock, display version, display cpu-usage, display
interface, display current-configuration, display saved-configuration, display history-
command, and so on.

5.1 User Management Introduction

This section describes basic concepts of user interfaces and user management.
5.1.1 User Interface

A user interface (UI) enables users to log in to the S7700. Through a user interface, you can
configure the parameters on all physical and logical interfaces that work in asynchronous and
interactive modes. In this manner, you can manage, authenticate, and authorize the login users.
Types of User Interfaces

Table 5-1 describes the types of user interfaces supported by the S7700.
Table 5-1 Types of user interfaces
Type Purpose Description
CON Local login through the It is a linear interface conforming to the EIA/TIA-232
console interface standard. The type of the interface is DCE. Each main
control board provides a console interface.
VTY Local or remote login It is a virtual interface and indicates a logical terminal
through Telnet or SSH line. When you log in to the S7700 through Telnet,
FTP, or SSH, a VTY connection is set up.
Numbering of User Interfaces

You can number a user interface in the following ways:
l Relative numbering
Relative numbering indicates that the interfaces of the same type are numbered. The relative
numbering uniquely specifies a user interface of a specified type.
The format of the relative numbering is: user interface type + number. It must comply with
the following rules:
– Number of the CON interface: console0
– Default number of the VTY: vty0, vty1, vty2, vty3, and vty4
l Absolute numbering
The S7700 uniquely specifies the default numbers of 0, 34… 38 for the user interfaces of
CON and VTY. You can enter a specific user interface view by entering any of these
numbers.
l Mapping between relative numbering and absolute numbering
Figure 5-1 shows the mapping between relative and absolute numbering of a user interface.

Figure 5-1 Numbering of user interfaces on the S7700

Types ofset Relative Obsolute

CON console0 0
……
vty0 34
vty1 35
VTY vty2 36
vty3 37
vty4 38
In the figure, console 0 and 0 indicate the same user interface; vty1 and 35 indicate the
same user interface.
NOTE
On the S7700, the absolute number can be 0 or 34 to 48.
5.1.2 User Authentication

When a user logs in to the S7700, the S7700 authenticates the user according to the configuration
to ensure system security.
When the S7700 is switched on for the first time, no authentication information for login is
available in the system. In this case, you can log in to the S7700 through the console interface
without being authenticated.
If a user logs in to the S7700 through Telnet on an Ethernet interface, the login user must be
authenticated for the sake of security. If the authentication succeeds, the user can log in to the
S7700 to configure and maintain the S7700.
To manage users that try to log in to the S7700, these users are assigned with passwords and
classified into different levels.
Classifying Login Users

Login users on the S7700 are classified according to service types and assigned rights assigned,
as shown in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2 Types of login users
User Type Description Authentication
Super users Logs in to the S7700 through the console interface Not authenticated for
and have all rights. the first login but
recommended later

User Type Description Authentication
Telnet users Logs in to the S7700 through the Ethernet interface Recommended
using Telnet and have limited rights. A Telnet
connection is set up between the user terminal and the
S7700.
SSH users Logs in to the S7700 through the Ethernet interface Recommended
using SSH and have limited rights. An SSH
connection is set up between the user terminal and the
S7700.
FTP users Logs in to the S7700 through FTP on the Ethernet Recommended
interface and have limited rights. An FTP connection
is set up between the user terminal and the S7700.
The rights that can be obtained by users logging in to the S7700 through Telnet, SSH, and FTP
depend on the priorities of the user interfaces through which they log in to. The S7700 provides
multiple services for a user. To ensure login convenience and security, login users must be
classified, and then assigned levels.
Priorities of Users
The system manages super users and Telnet users according to user levels.
Similar to the command levels, users are classified into 16 levels numbered 0 to 15. The greater
the number, the higher the user level.
NOTE
If the user levels are not set, the four default user levels are used, namely, levels 0 to 3.
The level of the command that a user can run is determined by the level of this user.
l In the case of non-authentication or password authentication, the level of the command that
the user can run depends on the level of the user interface.
l In the case of AAA authentication, the command that the user can run depends on the level
of the local user specified in AAA configuration.
Users of a level can access the commands of this level or lower levels.
Assuming that user levels 0 to 3 are used in the system, users of level 2 can access commands
of levels 0, 1, and 2, and users of level 3 can access commands at all levels.
Authenticating Login Users

After users are configured on the S7700, the system authenticates the users when they log in to
the S7700. The S7700 provides three authentication modes, as shown in Table 5-3.

Table 5-3 Authentication modes of login users

Authenticatio Description
n Mode
Non- Users can log in to the S7700 without entering the user name and password.
authentication There is a great potential security risk.
Password Users can log in to the S7700 by entering only the password. In this
authentication manner, security is ensured.
AAA Users need to enter both the user name and password to log in to the
authentication S7700. The S7700 then authenticates the users according to the configured
user information. This further improves security. It applies to the users
logging in to the S7700 through the console interface and Telnet users.
5.2 Logging In to the S7700 Through the Console Port

This section describes how to log in to the S7700 through the console port.

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 7 Management of Configuration Files
7 Management of Configuration Files
About This Chapter
This chapter describes current configurations, configuration files, detection of master/slave

configuration consistency, and configuration recovery.
7.1 Management of Configuration Files Introduction

The configuration file is the add-in configuration item when restarting the switch this time or
next time.
7.2 Managing Configuration Files
You can manage configuration files to ensure that the switch starts normally.

7.1 Management of Configuration Files Introduction

next time.
7.1.1 Configuration Files

This part describes basic concepts of configuration files.
next time.
The configuration file is a text file in the following formats:
l It is saved in the command format.

l To save space, default parameters are not saved. For the default values of the configuration
parameters, see following sections.
l 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 "#").
l The sequence of command sections is global configuration, logic interface configuration,
physical interface configuration, routing protocol configuration and so on.
NOTE
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.
7.1.2 Configuration Files and Current Configurations

The part describes basic concepts of configuration files and current configurations.
l Initial configurations: On powering on, the switch retrieves the configuration files from a
default save path to initiate itself. If configuration files do not exist in the default save path,
the switch uses the default parameters.
l Current configurations: indicates the effective configurations of the currently running
switch.
l Users can modify the current configurations of the switch 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 switch when the switch is powered on next time.
7.2 Managing Configuration Files

You can manage configuration files to ensure that the switch starts normally.


Before managing configuration files, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
In one of the following situations, you need to manage configuration files:
l To start the switch normally, you need to select the correct S7700 system software and
configuration file for the switch to load.
l After modifying current configurations, you need to save the modified contents.
l You need to view the configuration of the switch.
Before managing configuration files, complete the following task:
l Installing the switch and starting it properly
Data Preparation
To manage configuration files, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 S7700 System software and its file name
2 Configuration file and its name
3 The number of the start line from which the comparison of the configuration files
begins
7.2.2 Configuring System Software for a switch to Load for the Next
Startup
To upgrade the system software of a switch, you can specify the S7700 system software to be
loaded for the next startup.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
startup system-software system-file [ slave-board ]
The S7700 system software for the switch to load next time when it starts is configured.
The filename extension of the system software must be .cc and must be stored in the root directory
of a storage device.

You can specify the system-file and use the system software for the next startup that is saved on
the device.
slave-board is valid only on the switch with dual main control boards.
----End
7.2.3 Configuring the Configuration File for Switch to Load for the
Next Startup
Before restarting a switch, you can specify the configuration files that are loaded for the next
startup.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
startup saved-configuration configuration-file
Configuration file is saved for the switch to load next time on startup.
The filename extension of the configuration file must be .cfg or .zip, and must be stored in the
root directory of a storage device.
When the switch turns on, it initiates by reading the configuration file from the cfcard memory
by default. Thus, the configuration in this configuration file is called initial configuration. If no
configuration file is saved in the cfcard, the switch initiates with default parameters.
The effective configuration when a switch is working is called current configuration.
----End
7.2.4 Saving Configuration Files

You can save configuration files periodically or immediately.
Context
The system can save the configuration files periodically or in real time to prevent data loss when
the switch is powered off or accidentally restarted.
Run one of the following commands to save configuration files.
Procedure
l Run:
1. system-view

2. 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.
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 save-
configuration 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 configuration files transmitted in TFTP mode are saved, the tftp client-source command
can be run to configure the address of a loopback interface of the switch as a source address of
a client to ensure security.
WARNING
When the automatic saving function is enabled and the LPU is not properly installed,
corresponding configurations may be lost.
l 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 switch 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.
----End

7.2.5 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 The system software does not match the configuration file after the switch has been
upgraded.
l The configuration file is destroyed or an incorrect configuration file has been loaded.
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 switch 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 switch will uses the default configuration file for the next
startup.
– If the configuration file of the switch 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 switch used for the current startup is empty, the system
will prompt you that the configuration file does not exist after you run the reset saved-
configuration command.
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 switch will use the default configuration file
at the next startup.
l Clear the inactive configurations of the boards that are not installed in slots.
1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
2. Run the clear inactive-configuration slot command to clear the inactive
configurations of the boards that are not installed in slots.
----End
7.2.6 Comparing Configuration Files

You can compare the current configuration with the initial configuration.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Run:

compare configuration [ configuration-file ] [ current-line-number save-line-

number ]
The current configuration is compared with the configuration file for next startup.
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.
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

After managing configuration files has been configured, you can view the current configuration
files, configuration files to be loaded at the next startup, files for the device startup, and files
saved 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 view the current configuration files.
l Run the display saved-configuration [ last | time | configuration ] command to view
configuration files to be loaded at the next startup.
l Run the display startup command to view files for the device startup.
l Run the dir [ /all ] [ filename ] command to view files saved in the storage device.
l Run the display default-parameter servicename command to view default configurations
in the system.
----End
Example
After the configurations succeed, run the preceding commands, and you can find the following
results:
l The current configuration of the switch is correct without any redundant configuration.
l The current configuration of the switch is saved in the storage device.

l The S7700 system software and configuration file to be loaded at the next startup are correct
and saved in the root directory of the storage device.

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 FTP and TFTP
8 FTP and TFTP
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the fundamentals, configuration procedures and configuration examples
of FTP and TFTP.
8.1 FTP and TFTP Introduction

This section describes the basic concepts of FTP and TFTP.
8.2 Configuring the Switch to be the FTP Server
After a switch is configured with basic functions of the FTP server, you can run the FTP client
application to log in to the switch, and then access files on the switch.
8.3 Configuring FTP ACL
You can configure the FTP ACL on a switch to allow only specified users to log in to the
switch.
8.4 Configuring the Switch to Be the FTP Client
You can configure a switch to be an FTP client and then log in to the FTP server.
8.5 Configuring the Switch to Be the TFTP Client
8.6 Limiting the Access to the TFTP Server
You can configure the maximum number of TFTP servers that a TFTP client can access to
determine which TFTP servers the TFTP client can log in to.
This section provides several configuration examples for FTP and TFTP together with the
configuration flowchart. The configuration examples explain networking requirements,
configuration notes, and configuration roadmap.

8.1 FTP and TFTP Introduction

This section describes the basic concepts of FTP and TFTP.
8.1.1 FTP
You can transfer files between local and remote hosts through FTP. FTP is commonly used in
version upgrade, log downloading, file transfer, and configuration saving.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It
implements file transfer between local and remote hosts based on related file systems. The FTP
protocol is implemented based on corresponding file system.
The switch provides the following FTP services:
l FTP server service. Users can run the FTP client program to log in to the switch and access
the files on the switch.
l FTP client service. Users can establish a connection with the switch by running a terminal
emulation program or a Telnet program on a PC. Enter an FTP command to connect with
the remote FTP server and access the files on the remote host.
8.1.2 TFTP
TFTP does not have a complex interactive access interface and authentication control. TFTP is
applicable when there is no complex interaction between the client and server.
The 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.
TFTP transfers the files in two formats:
l The binary format: transfers program files.

l The ASCII format: transfers text files.
At present, the S7700 serves only as the TFTP client and transfers files in the binary format.
8.2 Configuring the Switch to be the FTP Server

After a switch is configured with basic functions of the FTP server, you can run the FTP client
application to log in to the switch, and then access files on the switch.


Before configuring a switch to be the FTP server, familiarize yourself with the applicable
When the switch serves as the FTP server, after the client logs in to the switch through FTP, the
user can transfer files between the client and the server.
Before configuring the switch as the FTP server, complete the following tasks:

l Connecting the FTP client to the server
Data Preparation
To configure the switch as the FTP server, you need the following data.

2 Configuring FTP Server Certificate-key and Chain-key
3 Enabling FTP Server
4 (Optional) Source IP address or source interface of the FTP server
5 (Optional) Timeout period of the disconnection from the FTP server
6 FTP username and password
7 File directory authorized to the FTP user
8.2.2 (Optional) Specifying a Port Number for the FTP Server

You can configure or change the monitoring port number of the FTP server. After the port
number is changed, only the user knows the current port number, which guarantees the security.
Context
If the FTP is not enabled, change the FTP port as required.
If the FTP service is enabled, run the undo ftp server command to disable the FTP service, and
then change the FTP port.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

Step 2 Run:
ftp [ ipv6 ] server port port-number
The port number of the FTP server is configured.

If a new number of a monitored port is configured, the FTP server interrupts all the FTP
connections and monitors the port of the new number. By default, the number of the port
monitored by the FTP server is 21.
----End
8.2.3 Enabling the FTP Server

This section describes how to enable FTP server.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

Step 2 Run:
ftp [ ipv6 ] server enable
The FTP server is enabled.
NOTE
When the file operation between clients and the switch ends, run the undo ftp [ ipv6 ] server command
to disable the FTP server function. This ensures the security of the switch.
----End
8.2.4 Configuring the Source IP Address of the FTP Server

The source address of the FTP server can be specified to allow only authorized users to access
the FTP server. This ensures security.
Context
Do as follows on the switch that functions as an FTP server:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:

The S7700 provides Telnet services including Telnet server and Telnet client.
Telnet Services
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 S7700 provides the following Telnet services:
l Telnet server: You can run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to the switch,
configure and manage it. The switch acts as a Telnet server.
l Telnet client: You can run the terminal emulation program or the Telnet client program on
a PC to connect with the switch. With the telnet command, you can log in to other
switchs to configure and manage them. As shown in Figure 9-1, Switch A serves as both
the Telnet server and the Telnet client.

9.1.3 SSH Terminal Services

The S7700 supports the basic SSH protocol, client function, SFTP protocol, STelnet protocol
and SCP.
Introduction to SSH
SSH works at the application layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite. SSH provides remote login and
virtual terminal on the network where security is guaranteed. Based on TCP connections, SSH
guarantees security and provides authentication for transmitted information, preventing the
following attacks shown in Figure 9-2:
l IP spoofing
l Interception of the password in plain text
l Denial of Service (DoS)
In the figure, Switch is an S7700.

PC Ethernet L2 Switch Ethernet Switch
SSH adopts the client/server model and sets up multiple secure transmission channels. The
Switch, as the SSH server, can be connected to multiple PCs that function as SSH clients. A
Layer 2 switch may exist between the PC and the SSH server. In the actual networking, a route
is required to be reachable between the PC and the Switch.
Advantages of SSH
The applications of SSH include STelnet and SFTP.
Different from Telnet and FTP terminal services, SSH provides secure remote access on the
network without security guaranteed. The advantages of SSH are described as follows:
l STelnet client functions

There is a potential risk on security for login through Telnet because there is no
authentication and the data transmitted through TCP is in plain text. The insecure access
results in malicious attacks including DoS attacks, IP spoofing attacks, and route spoofing
attacks.
SSH provides secure remote access on an insecure network by supporting the following
functions:
– Supporting Revest-Shamir-Adleman Algorithm (RSA) authentication

– Supporting Data Encryption Standard (DES) and 3DES

– Supporting the encrypted transfer of the user name or password
– Supporting the encrypted transfer of interactive data
SSH adopts RSA. After the public key and the private key are generated according to the
encryption principle of the asymmetric encryption system, the following information is
transmitted with security between the SSH client and the SSH server:
– Key
– User name or password
– Interactive data
l SFTP client functions
SFTP provides the following types of applications:
– By using SFTP, you can securely log in to the S7700 to manage files from the remote
device. In this manner, the security of data transmission is improved when files need to
be transferred during the upgrade of the remote system.
– The S7700 can function as the client to log in to the remote device through FTP to
transfer files with security.
l SCP client
SCP enables you to log in to the device securely from a remote device to upload or download
files. Data transfer in this mode is much safer for remote system update. In addition, SCP
provides the client function so that a local device can log in to a remote device for secure
data transfer.
Unlike SFTP, SCP simplifies the file transfer process by combing user authentication and
file transfer, thus improving the configuration efficiency.
Setting Up an SSH Connection

The procedure for setting up an SSH connection is as follows:
1. Negotiating the SSH version

2. Negotiating the key
3. Authenticating the user identity
4. Initiating a session request
5. Performing the interactive session

9.5 Configuring the STelnet Client Function

This section describes how to configure the STelnet client. A secure connection between the
client and server can be established through negotiation, and the client will be able to log in to
the server similarly to using Telnet services.


Before configuring an STelnet client, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
STelnet is a secure Telnet protocol. The SSH user can use the STelnet service in the same manner
as using the Telnet service.
Before connecting the STelnet client to the SSH server, complete the following tasks:
l Generating the local RSA key pair on the SSH server

l Configuring the STelnet user on the SSH server
l Enabling the STelnet service on the SSH server
Data Preparation
To connect the STelnet client to the SSH server, you need the following data:
No. Data
1 Name of the SSH server
3 Preferred encrypted algorithm from the STelnet client to the SSH server
4 Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SSH server to the STelnet client
5 Preferred HMAC algorithm from the STelnet client to the SSH server
6 Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SSH server to the STelnet client
7 Preferred algorithm of key exchange
8 Name of the outgoing interface

9.5.2 Enabling the First-Time Authentication on the SSH Client

After 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.
Context
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.
To simplify user operations, you are recommended to enable the first-time authentication on the
SSH client.
Do as follows on the switch that serves as an SSH client:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

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.
----End
9.5.3 (Optional) Assigning an RSA Public Key to the SSH Server

You can assign an RSA public key to the SSH server.
Context
If the first-time authentication on the SSH client is disabled, you need to allocate an RSA public
key to the SSH server before the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server.

key end command is run; If the specified key-name is deleted in other views, the system prompts
that the key does not exist after the peer-public-key end command is run and the system view
is displayed.
Step 6 Run:
peer-public-key end

Step 7 Run:
ssh client servername assign rsa-key keyname
The RSA public key is assigned to the SSH server.
NOTE
l Before being assigned to the SSH server, the assigned peer RSA public key must be obtained from the
SSH server and must be configured on the SSH client. Then, the STelnet client client can successfully
undergo the validity check on the RSA public key of the SSH server.
l If the RSA public key stored on the SSH client becomes invalid, run the undo ssh client servername
assign rsa-key command to cancel the association between the SSH client and the SSH server. Then,
run the ssh client servername assign rsa-key keyname command to allocate a new RSA public key to
the SSH server.
----End
9.5.4 Enabling the STelnet Client

You can log in to the SSH server from the SSH client through STelnet.

This section explains how to configure the SFTP client. The authentication and bidirectional
data encryption of the SFTP client can be manually configured, which will ensure secure file
transmission on the network.

Before configuring the SFTP client, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
SFTP enables users to log in to the device from a secure remote end to manage files. This
improves the security of data transmission for the remote end to update its system. The SFTP
client function also enables you to log in to the remote device through SFTP for the secure file
transmission.
Before connecting the SFTP client to the SSH server, complete the following tasks:
l Creating a local RSA key pair on an SSH server

l Configuring an SFTP client on the SSH server
l Enabling the SFTP service on the SSH server
Data Preparation
To connect an SFTP client to an SSH server, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Name of the SSH server
3 Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server
4 Preferred encrypted algorithm from the SFTP server to the SSH client
5 Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SFTP client to the SSH server
6 Preferred HMAC algorithm from the SFTP server to the SSH client
7 Preferred algorithm of key exchange

No. Data
8 Name of the outgoing interface
9 Source address
10 Directory name
11 File name
9.6.2 (Optional) Configuring a Source IP Address for an SFTP Client

You can configure a source IP address for an SFTP client. Then, you can set up an SFTP
connection from the SFTP client to the server through a specific route by using this source IP
address.
Context
Do as follows on a switch that functions as an SFTP client.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
sftp client-source { -a source-ip-address | -i interface-type interface-number }
A source IP address is configured for an SFTP client.
----End
9.6.3 Configuring the First-Time Authentication on the SSH Client

After 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.
Context
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.
To simplify user operations, you are recommended to enable the first-time authentication on the
SSH client.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
Enable the SSH client with the first authentication.
By default, first-time authentication is disabled on SSH clients.
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 SFTP client logs in to the SSH server for the first
time. The check is skipped because the SFTP 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 SFTP client logs in to the
SSH server for the first time, the SFTP client fails to pass the check on the RSA public key validity
and cannot log in to the server.
TIP
Except for enabling the first-time authentication on the SSH client, the SFTP client can assign the RSA
public key in advance to the SSH server on the SSH client to log in to the server successfully for the first
time.
----End
9.6.4 (Optional) Assigning an RSA Public Key to the SSH Server

You can assign an RSA public key on the SSH client to the SSH server.
Context
If the first-time authentication on the SSH client is disabled, you need to assign an RSA public
key to the SSH server before the STelnet client logs in to the SSH server.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
Step 3 Run:

Step 4 Run:
hex-data

generated by an SSH client. You can run the display rsa local-key-pair public command to
view a generated public key.
Step 5 Run:
public-key-code end
key end command is run; If the specified key-name is deleted in other views, the system prompts
that the key does not exist after the peer-public-key end command is run and the system view
is displayed.
Step 6 Run:
peer-public-key end
Step 7 Run:
ssh client servername assign rsa-key keyname
Assign a public key to the SSH server.
NOTE
l Before being assigned to the SSH server, the assigned peer RSA public key must be obtained from the
SSH server and must be configured on the SSH client. Then, the SFTP client can successfully undergo
the validity check on the RSA public key of the SSH server.
l If the RSA public key stored on the SSH client becomes invalid, run the undo ssh client servername
assign rsa-key command to cancel the association between the SSH client and the SSH server. Then,
run the ssh client servername assign rsa-key keyname command to allocate a new RSA public key to
the SSH server.
----End
9.6.5 Enabling the SFTP Client

You can log in to the SSH server from the SSH client through SFTP.
Context
NOTE
The command of enabling the SFTP client is similar to that of the STelnet. When accessing the SSH server,
the SFTP can carry the source address and the name of the VPN instance and choose the key exchange
algorithm, encrypted algorithm and HMAC algorithm, and configure the keepalive function.
Do as follows on the switch that serves as an SSH client.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view


Step 2 According to the address type of the SSH server, select and perform one of the two configurations
below.
Run:
sftp [ -a source-address | -i interface-type interface-number ] host-ipv4

9.7 Configuring the SCP Client

This section describes how to configure the SCP client. The SCP client sets up a secure
connection with the SCP server so that the client can upload files to the server or download files
from the server.

Before configuring the SCP client, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration. This
will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
SCP is a secure file transfer method based on SSH2.0. Unlike SFTP, SCP allows file uploading
or downloading without user authentication and public key assignment, and also supports file
uploading or downloading in batches.
Before configuring the SCP client, complete the following tasks:
l Generating a local RSA key pair on the SCP server

l Configuring SCP users on the SCP server
l Enabling SCP services on the SCP server
Data Preparation
To configure the SCP client, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 (Optional) Source IPv4 or IPv6 address and source interface of the local switch
2 Port number of the remote SCP server, VPN instance name, encryption algorithm for
uploading or downloading files, source files to be uploaded or downloaded, and
destination files to be uploaded or downloaded

9.7.2 (Optional) Configuring a Source IP Address for the SCP Client

It is more secure to configure a source IP address for the SCP client, and use the specified source
IP address to set up an SCP connection between the client and server.
Context
Do as follows on the switch functioning as the SCP client:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Run:
scp client-source { -a source-ip-address | -i interface-type interface-number }
A source IP address or a source interface is configured for the SCP client.
At present, the available source interface must be a loobpack interface. A loopback interface is
recommended to improve network security.
----End
9.7.3 Copying Files

You can use SCP to upload files from the client to the server or download files from the server
to the client.
Context
NOTE
When logging in to the SCP server, the SCP client can carry source IP address and VPN instance name,
and select an encryption algorithm.
Do as follows on the switch functioning as the SCP client:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
Step 2 Files are uploaded from the SCP client to the remote SCP server or downloaded from the remote
SCP server to the SCP client.
l Basing on IPv4 address
scp [ -port port-number | public-net | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | -a sourceaddress
| -i interface-type interface-number | -r | -cipher { des | 3des | aes128 } | -c ]* sourcefile
destinationfile
l Basing on IPv6 address

9.8.3 Example for Configuring the Switch as the STelnet Client to

Connect to the SSH Server
In this example, the local key pairs are generated on the STelnet client and the SSH server; the
public RSA key is generated on the SSH server and then bound to the STelnet client. In this
manner, the STelnet client can connect to the SSH server.
When you need to log in from a switch to other switches to configure the switches, you can
configure the switch as an STelnet client.
As shown in Figure 9-5, after the STelnet service is enabled on the SSH server, the STelnet
client can log in to the SSH server in the authentication mode of password, RSA, password-rsa,
or all.
The following login users need to be configured.
l Client001, with the password as huawei and the authentication mode as password
l Client002, with the password as rsakey001 and the authentication mode as RSA
The user interface supports only the SSH protocol.

9.8.4 Example for Connecting the SFTP Clinet and the SSH Server
In this example, the local key pairs are generated on the SFTP client and the SSH server
respectively; the public RSA key is generated on the SSH server and bind the RSA public key
to the SFTP client. In this manner, the SFTP client can connect to the SSH server.
As shown in Figure 9-6, after the SFTP service is enabled on the SSH server, the SFTP client
can log in to the SSH server in the authentication mode of password, RSA, password-rsa, or all.

9.8.5 Example for Configuring the SSH Server to Support the Access
from Another Port
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.
The standard listening port is numbered 22, as defined in the SSH protocol. If attackers access
the standard port continuously, the bandwidth is consumed and the performance of the server is
degraded. As a result, other valid users cannot access the port.
If the listening port on the SSH server is changed to a non-default one, attackers will not aware
of this change and continue to send a request for the socket connection to port 22. In this case,
the SSH server detects that it is not the listening port, and then denies the the request for
establishing the socket connection.
Therefore, only valid users can use the specified listening port to set up a socket connection
through the following procedures:

l Negotiating the version of the SSH protocol

l Negotiating the algorithm
l Generating the session key
l Authenticating
l Sending a request for a session
l Performing the interactive session

3. Create a local key pair on the SFTP client and SSH server separately.
4. Generate an RSA public key on the SSH server and bind the RSA public key of the SSH
client to Client002.
5. Enable the STelnet and SFTP services on the SSH server.
6. Configure the type of the service and authenticated directory for the SSH user.
7. Set the listening port number on the SSH server.
8. Client001 and Client002 log in to the SSH server through STelnet and SFTP separately.

9.8.6 Example for Authenticating SSH Through RADIUS

In this example, a user that attempts to access the SSH server is authenticated by the RADIUS
server, and the SSH server determines whether to set up a connection with the user according
to the authentication result.
When an RADIUS user is connected to an SSH server, the SSH server sends the user name and
password of the SSH client to the RADIUS server (compatible with the TACACS server) for
authentication.
The RADIUS server authenticates the user and sends the result (passed or failed) back to the
SSH server. If the authentication is successful, the user level is sent along with the result. The
SSH server determines whether the SSH client is allowed to set up a connection according to
the authentication result.
Figure 9-8 shows the networking diagram.
