System Administrator Guide
When you choose one of the compare NE configuration rollback file options, the
Checkpoint Compare window opens listing differences between the selected
configuration files. The window title displays the names of the NE configuration
files that are compared. For example, the title “Index 0 and rescue” indicates that the
first NE configuration checkpoint file listed on the Checkpoint Files tab is compared
with the NE configuration rescue file. Differences in the configuration files are noted
as follows:
• The plus sign (+) indicates that the configuration is in the first NE configuration
file listed in the window title but not in the second NE configuration file. In this
case, the configuration is in the checkpoint file index 0.
• The minus sign (–) indicates that the configuration is in the second NE
configuration listed file in the window title but not in the first NE configuration
file. In this case, the configuration is in the rescue file.
• Configurations that are in both NE configuration files are not listed in the
Checkpoint Compare window.
NE file system browsing
A 5620 SAM operator can browse the file system of a managed NE to list the
contents of the compact flash devices. You can browse the file system of a
7210 SAS, 7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7710 SR, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, or OmniSwitch
using simple FTP or a CLI session using SSH. The 5620 SAM GUI is used to browse
the different types of files.
Browsing an NE file system using the 5620 SAM is a convenient way to confirm that
operations such as the following occur as planned by verifying the sizes and time
stamps of local NE files:
• NE configuration saves
• NE software image transfers and upgrades
• NE configuration restores
• NE accounting-statistics collection
FTP file browsing on an NE requires FTP user-account access on the NE. SSH file
browsing requires console user-account access and the configuration of SSH security
on the NE. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for information about enabling FTP or
console access for an NE user account or configuring SSH on an NE.
See Procedure 9-35 for information about browsing an NE file system using an FTP
file browser. See Procedure 9-36 for information about browsing an NE file system
using an SSH file browser.
Sample deployment policy configuration
The following example describes the configuration and operation of a 5620 SAM
deployment policy. See Procedure 9-2 for deployment policy configuration
information.
Note — The 7705 SAR may become temporarily unreachable when
enabling SSH and starting the SSH server on the device.
