Procedure 9-36 To view an NE file system using an SSH file browser
Perform this procedure to browse and list the contents of a managed NE using a secure
file browser. You need console and SSH user-account privileges on the NE for access to
the NE file system, and an SSH server must be configured on the NE. See the 5620 SAM
User Guide for information about enabling console or SSH access for an NE user account
or configuring an SSH server for an NE.
1 Initiate an SSH file browser session using one of the following methods:
a Use the 5620 SAM main menu.
i Choose Tools→Network Elements→NE Sessions→SSH File Browser. The
SSH File Browser form opens.
ii Enter the IP address of the NE that you need to browse in the field at
the top of the form.
iii Click Connect. The Enter the Username and Password form opens.
b Use the contextual menu for an NE.
i Select an NE icon in the 5620 SAM network navigation tree or topology
map.
ii Right-click on the NE icon and choose NE Sessions→File Browser. The
SSH File Browser form opens, then displays the Enter the Username and
Password form.
c Use the NE alarm contextual menu.
i Select an NE alarm in the 5620 SAM alarm window.
ii Right-click on the alarm item and choose NE Sessions→File Browser. The
SSH File Browser form opens, then displays the Enter the Username and
Password form.
2 Enter the user name and password of a user account with FTP and SSH access
privileges on the NE and click OK. If the NE accepts the credentials, the form lists
the contents of the NE.
<DIR> in the Type column indicates a directory. The file path to the current
directory is displayed in the Path field.
On an NE with redundant CPMs, the form lists the contents of the cf3 device on
the active CPM. You can browse the cf3 device on the standby CPM by specifying
cf3-B:\ in the Path field.
Note — When you use the 5620 SAM main menu to open a file-browser
session, you are not restricted to the original NE; you can use the same
form to connect to other NEs. This is useful when you need to browse
several NEs in succession.
