PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00000.htm TITLE=Managing the Flash File System TEXT=Managing the Flash File System The flash file system tool is for managing files, such as router image files and router configuration files, stored in flash memory on routers. Before you can use the tool, you must Configure each such router for flash administration. Configure the network management workstation for flash administration. To start the flash file system tool, select Flash File Systems under the Admin menu on the menu bar. A window appears with two parts or panes. Local File System Files on the system on which CiscoView is running. Remote File System Files in any of the flash memory devices on the router. Two buttons appear in both the Local File System pane and the Remote File System pane: Edit Edit a file. Delete Delete a file. Two buttons appear only in the Remote File System pane. They apply to the selected flash partition as a whole: Squeeze Reclaim flash memory space for use. Erase Delete all files and squeeze the flash file system. Between the two panes are Arrow buttons Copy files. Close button Close the Flash File Systems tool. Help button Access this help system. The Flash File Systems tool is not supported under Windows 95. It is supported only for the UNIX and Windows NT operating systems and requires: IOS version 10.2 or greater for 7000 series routers IOS version 11.0 or greater for 7200 and 7500 series routers
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00001.htm TITLE=Configuring Routers for Flash File Administration TEXT=Configuring Routers for Flash File Administration To configure a core router for flash file administration, set parameters withthe following IOS configuration commands: ip rcmd rcp-enable ip rcmd rsh-enable ip rcmd remote-host local-user remote-host remote-user enable snmp-server system-shutdown snmp-server community community-string RW You must also configure the network management workstation .
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00002.htm TITLE=Configure the Network Management Workstation TEXT=Configure the Network Management Workstation Before you can manage the flash file system on a router, you must configureyour network management workstation to support it. You must also configure each router on which flash files are to be managed. For an NMS running under UNIX Set up the .rhosts file on the local workstation to enable the rcp command. For an NMS running under Windows NT Create the directory C:\tmp with the Windows NT Explorer, File Manager, orCommand Prompt. The software uses this directory to store temporary scratch fileswhen it is editing local or remote files. Set the TMP or TEMP environment variables (or both) to specify the pathname ofthe temporary directory as follows: Open the System Control Panel and click the Environment tab. Look in the User Variables window. If the variable TMP or TEMP appears withthe pathname C:\tmp as its value, no more need be done. In the Variable field, enter TMP (or TEMP). In the Value field, enter C:\tmp as the pathname. If you do not create the directory and set the environment variable, then whenyou run the Flash File System utility the CiscoView software pops up a dialogbox asking you to do so. The Flash File Systems tool is not supported under Windows 95.
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00003.htm TITLE=Local File System TEXT=Local File System There are two parts of the Local File System display, Directories and Files . Directories Use the pull-down menu to the right of the Directories input field to display folders representing the current directory structure of the local file system where the CiscoView application started. Click on a folder icon to specify the directory in which you wish to view or modify files and to display its contents. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up and down the list of directories (folders). Files Use the pull-down menu to the right of the Files input field to display all existing files in the selected directory. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up and down the list of files. Select a file and click the Edit key to edit it, the Delete key to delete it, or the right-pointing arrow button to copy it to the remote file system.
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00004.htm TITLE=Remote File System TEXT=Remote File System There are two parts of the Remote File System display, Devices and Files . Devices Use the pull-down menu to the right of the Devices input field to display folders representing the current directory structure of the remote file system on the selected router. Click on a folder icon to specify the flash memory device on which you wish to view or modify files and to display its contents. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up and down the list of directories (folders). Files Use the pull-down menu to the right of the Files input field to display all existing files on the specified flash memory device. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up and down the list of files. Select a file and click the Edit button to edit it, click the Delete button to delete it, or click the left-pointing arrow button to copy it to the local file system. At startup, only the boot flash folder and its contents are displayed. Double-click on the top-level folder to display all folders, including the config folder . The Erase and Squeeze buttons apply to the flash file system as a whole, with no file selected.
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00007.htm TITLE=Config Folder TEXT=Config Folder The following two files are in the config folder: running-config The configuration that is currently running on the router start-config The configuration to which the router is set at startup
PATH=/ciscoview/Routershare/cr_admin/cra00008.htm TITLE=Edit TEXT=Edit Use the Edit button to view and edit the selected file. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Use the Backspace key to delete characters. Other editing capabilities of your windowing system may also be available. If the file is on a remote router, it is copied to a temporary directory . The Save option writes your changes back to the original file location. The Save As option prompts you for a file name, which may be in a different directory if you specify a pathname. A file larger than 256K bytes cannot be edited. This is a safeguard against opening a binary image file. Arrows Use the left and right arrow buttons to transfer files between the remote file system and the local file system using rcp (remote file copy). If rcp fails, it may be because the router is not set up properly for it, or because it does not support rcp. Verify that the router meets remote setup requirements . Delete Use the Delete button to delete the selected file. The device is not squeezed (compare Erase ). Remote files may be deleted only on 7200 and 7500 series routers, which support the SNMP delete operation. Erase Use the Erase button to erase the device partition and squeeze it, that is, reclaim flash memory spaces for use. This option is only supported on the 7000 and 7010 routers. Squeeze Use the Squeeze button to reduce the size of a flash memory device after deleting files. (This function reclaims memory spaces that have been marked deleted.) The squeeze function is supported only on 7200 and 7500 series routers. Temporary Directory The temporary directory for editing a remote file on a UNIX platform is /tmp. On Windows NT platforms, it is the directory named in the environment variable TMP or TEMP, with \TMP as the default.
