INDUSTRY CANADA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT  
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus  
set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.  
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux  
appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté  
par le ministère des Communications du Canada.  
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the  
equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as  
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department  
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities  
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable  
method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not  
prevent degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any  
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the  
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,  
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution  
may be particularly important in rural areas.  
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the  
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.  
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication  
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on  
an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the  
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

VCCI COMPLIANCE STATEMENT  
This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by  
Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, radio  
disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective actions.  
SAFETY INFORMATION: CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS  
This product may use Class 1 laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before  
installing or operating this product.  
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This  
control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set and does  
not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:  
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA)  
IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission)  
CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization)  
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible  
emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.  
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS  
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of  
radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is –12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.  
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the  
optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8  
x 103 W m2 sr–1.  
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser  
output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the  
network adapter.

2.1 FUNCTIONAL LAYER TERMINOLOGY  
This guide, and other RS 2100 documentation, refers to layer-2 (L2), layer-3 (L3), and layer-4 (L4) switching and  
routing. These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here  
is an example of that model. The RS 2100 operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that layer 2 is  
divided into a MAC layer, an LLC layer, and an LLC2 layer. The RS 2100 operates at the MAC and LLC layers.

RS 2100 Introduction  
SoftwareOverview  
2.3 SOFTWARE OVERVIEW  
This section describes the features and capabilities of the RS 2100 in greater detail. For full information regarding the  
use of these features and capabilities, see the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide.  
2.3.1  
Bridging  
The RS 2100 provides the following types of wire-speed bridging:  
Address-based bridging – The RS 2100 performs this type of bridging by looking up a packet’s destination address  
in an L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit  
port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet is addressed to the RS 2100’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather  
than bridged.  
Flow-based bridging – The RS 2100 performs this type of bridging by looking up a packet’s source and destination  
address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network.  
Your choice of bridging method does not affect RS 2100 performance. However, address-based bridging requires  
fewer table entries. Alternately, while flow-based bridging uses more table entries, it provides tighter management and  
control over bridged traffic, and greater resolution to RMON I statistics.  
The RS 2100 ports perform address-based bridging by default, but can be configured to perform flow-based bridging  
on a per-port basis. A port cannot be configured to perform both types of bridging at the same time.  
2.3.2  
Port and Protocol VLANs  
The RS 2100 supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs):  
Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a set of ports that comprises a layer-2 broadcast domain. The RS 2100  
confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which the broadcast originates. RS 2100 ports outside the  
VLAN do not receive the broadcast.  
Protocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that comprises an IP, IPX, AppleTalk,  
DECNet, SNA, IPv6, or L2 broadcast domain. The RS 2100 confines protocol-specific broadcasts to the ports within  
the protocol-based VLAN. Protocol-based VLANs sometimes are called subnet VLANs or layer-3 VLANs.  
You can include the same port in more than one VLAN, even in both port-based and protocol-based VLANs.  
Moreover, you can define VLANs that span across multiple RS 2100 switches. To simplify VLAN administration, the  
RS 2100 supports 802.1Q trunk ports, which allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to  
another RS 2100 or to a switch that supports 802.1Q.  
2.3.3  
Routing  
The RS 2100 provides wire-speed routing for the following protocols:  
IP – protocol that switching and routing devices use for moving traffic within the Internet and within many corporate  
intranets  
IPX – protocol by Novell used in NetWare products  
Riverstone Networks RS 2100 Switch Router Getting Started Guide 2-3  
 
                                   
Software Overview  
RS 2100 Introduction  
Note  
All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP.  
By default, the RS 2100 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The RS 2100 can be configured to have a separate  
MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface. When the RS 2100 receives a  
packet whose destination MAC address is one of the RS 2100’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the line card that  
received the packet from the network uses information in the line card’s L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by  
the CPU) to route the packet to its IP destination(s).  
You can add secondary IP addresses to the same IP interface, however, you can create only one IP and IPX interface  
on a single port or VLAN. When you add an interface to a set of ports, you are adding a VLAN to those ports. Ports  
that contain IP and IPX interfaces can still perform layer-2 bridging.  
IP Routing  
The RS 2100 supports the following IP unicast routing protocols:  
RIP v1 and RIP v2  
OSPF v2  
BGP 2,3,4  
IS-IS  
IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for routing, you also  
specify the routing protocol that the interface will use.  
IP Multicast Routing  
The RS 2100 supports the following IP multicast routing protocols:  
IGMP  
DVMRP  
GARP/GVRP  
The RS 2100 does not use a specific IP multicast routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for IP  
multicast, you also specify the routing protocol you want the interface to use.  
IPX Routing  
The RS 2100 supports the following IPX routing protocols:  
IPX RIP – a version of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) tailored for IPX  
IPX SAP – the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX network to reach printers, file  
servers, and other services  
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the RS 2100 when an IPX interface is created.

RS 2100 Introduction  
SoftwareOverview  
2.3.4  
Layer-4 Switching  
In addition to layer-2 bridging and layer-3 routing, the RS 2100 performs layer-4 switching. Layer-4 switching is based  
on applications and flows.  
Layer-4 Applications – The RS 2100 understands the application for which an IP or IPX packet contains data and  
therefore enables you to manage and control traffic on an application basis. For IP traffic, the RS 2100 looks at the  
packet’s TCP or UDP port number to determine the application. For IPX packets, the RS 2100 looks at the destination  
socket to determine the application.  
Layer-4 Flows – The RS 2100 can store layer-4 flows on each line card. A layer-4 flow consists of the source and  
destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for  
IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX). You can therefore manage and control individual flows between  
hosts on an individual application basis.  
A single host can have many individual layer-4 entries in the RS 2100. For example, an IP host might have separate  
layer-4 application entries for email, FTP, HTTP, and so on, or separate layer-4 flow entries for specific email  
destinations and for specific FTP and Web connections.  
2.3.5  
Security  
The bridging, routing, and application (layer-2, layer-3, and layer-4) support described in previous sections enables  
you to implement security strategies that meet specific needs. For layer-2, a wide range of bridging filters are available.  
Additionally, all layers can be protected using Access Control Lists (ACLs) filters. You can implement the following  
types of filters and ACLs to secure traffic on the RS 2100:  
Layer-2 source filters (block bridge traffic based on source MAC address)  
Layer-2 destination filters (block bridge traffic based on destination MAC address)  
Layer-2 flow filters (block bridge traffic based on specific source-destination pairs)  
Layer-3 source ACLs (block IP or IPX traffic based on source IP or IPX address)  
Layer-3 destination ACLs (block IP or IPX traffic based on destination IP or IPX address)  
Layer-3 flow ACLs (block IP or IPX traffic based on specific source-destination address pairs)  
Layer-4 flow ACLs (block traffic based on application flows)  
Layer-4 application ACLs (block traffic based on UDP or TCP source and destination ports for IP  
or source and destination sockets for IPX)  
In addition to filtering and ACL, the RS also provides login security in the form of TACACS, TACACS+, RADIUS.  
and Secure Session Shells (SSH) version 1.5.  
2.3.6  
Quality of Service  
Although the RS 2100 supplies non-blocking, wire-speed throughput, you can configure the RS 2100 to apply Quality  
of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific hosts, applications, and flows  
(source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks where the traffic level can exceed the network capacity.  
QoS policies can be configured for the following types of traffic:  
Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)  
Layer-3 source-destination flows  
Layer-4 source-destination flows  
Riverstone Networks RS 2100 Switch Router Getting Started Guide 2-5  
 
                                             
Software Overview  
RS 2100 Introduction  
Layer-4 application flows  
QoS mechanisms supported on the RS 2100 include the following:  
Traffic control queuing  
Weighted random early detection  
Weighted fair queuing  
Strict priority queuing  
QoS traffic control queues  
ToS octet rewrites  
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and the creation of LSPs for traffic engineering  
Note  
Traffic control queuing is based on assigning traffic to one of four queues: control,  
high, medium, and low. Control traffic (routing protocols, and so on) has the  
highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all  
traffic is low.  
2.3.7  
Statistics  
The RS 2100 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types of statistics:  
Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets in, packets out,  
CRC errors, and so on)  
Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast, VLAN  
Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP  
LFAP – Light-weight File Accounting Protocol  
Open APIs – Slate and FAS Lite.  
2.3.8  
Web Hosting Features  
The RS 2100 provides features that support and improve performance for high-capacity web access:  
Load balancing – allows incoming HTTP requests to a company’s web site to be distributed across several physical  
servers. If one server should fail, other servers can pick up the workload.  
Web caching – allows HTTP requests from internal users to Internet sites to be redirected to cached web objects on  
local servers. Not only is response time faster, since requests can be handled locally, but overall WAN bandwidth usage  
is reduced.  
Session persistence – In certain situations where load balancing is being used, it may be critical that all traffic for the  
client be directed to the same physical server for the duration of the session; this is the concept of session persistence.  
TCP persistence – a binding is determined by the matching the source IP/port address as well as the virtual  
destination IP/port address.

RS 2100 Introduction  
SoftwareOverview  
SSL persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source IP address and the virtual destination IP/port  
address. Note that requests from any source socket with the client IP address are considered part of the same  
session.  
Sticky persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses only. This  
allows all requests from a client to the same virtual address to be directed to the same load balancing server.  
Virtual private network (VPN) persistence – for VPN traffic using Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) mode  
of IPSec, a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses in the secure key transfer  
request to subsequent client requests.  
IP persistence – Used for L3 persistence of load balancing sessions.  
2.3.9  
Management Platforms  
You can manage the RS 2100 using the following management platforms:  
Command Line Interface (CLI) – An Emacs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands and responds when  
applicable with messages or tables. Use the CLI to perform the basic setup procedures described in Chapter 4,  
SNMP MIBs and traps – The RS 2100 supports SNMP v1/v2 and many standard networking MIBs. The RS 2100’s  
SNMP agent is accessed using integration software such as HP OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or  
Aprisma SPECTRUM on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x. Setting up SNMP on the RS 2100 is described in Chapter 4,

RS 2100 Introduction  
HardwareOverview  
2.4.3  
Motherboard Features  
The internal “motherboard” performs all the RS 2100’s computing and routing functions. It contains system-wide  
bridging and routing tables. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2 and L3/L4 lookup tables on individual  
gigabit ports is handled by the motherboard. After processing traffic, the motherboard updates the L2 and L3/L4 tables  
on the gigabit ports that received the traffic. The gigabit ports then take over all subsequent forwarding for the learned  
table entry.  
Boot Flash  
The motherboard has a boot flash containing the RS 2100’s boot software and configuration files. The system software  
image file resides on an internal flash chip and can be upgraded from a TFTP or BootP/TFTP server.  
RAM Memory  
The RS 2100’s motherboard uses 128 megabytes of RAM to hold routing and other tables. To upgrade the amount of  
memory on the RS 2100, contact your Riverstone representative.  
Power Supplies  
The RS 2100 uses two power supplies, each delivering 3.3, 5, and 12 volts DC to the motherboard, internal fans, and  
other components. Each power supply provides a portion of the power necessary to operate the RS 2100, with the  
added feature that, in the unlikely event that one of the power supplies should fail, the remaining power supply will  
assume the entire load and provide enough current to operate the RS 2100.  
Warning  
Be sure to plug the RS 2100 into a single-phase grounded power source  
located within 6 feet of the installation site.  
Warning  
Failure to provide adequate grounding for the AC power supply can result in  
critical injury and serious damage to the switch router and will invalidate your  
warranty.  
The following table lists the specifications for the power supplies.

Fans  
The RS 2100 contains three internal fans to provide cooling air flow across the motherboard and gigabit ports. The  
fans are located near the middle of the chassis, between the power supplies and the motherboard.  
Warning  
To ensure that the fans can provide adequate cooling, Riverstone recommends  
that you allow a minimum of 3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis.  
2.4.5  
Gigabit Ports  
The RS 2100’s eight gigabit (1000Base-SX) Ethernet ports are indexed into four groups of two ports each. The ports  
can operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode. Each port can be configured as a switched port or a routed port.  
The ports have shortwave (850 nm) lasers and connect to multimode-mode fiber (MMF) cables.

Warning  
Before performing any mechanical upgrade or installation procedures, ensure  
that the RS 2100 is powered off.  
Never attempt to rack mount the RS 2100 unaided. Ask an assistant to help  
you hold the chassis.  
To install the RS 2100 chassis in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You need a #2 Phillips-head  
screwdriver to perform this procedure.  
1. Remove the two screws that help hold the front panel of the RS 2100 on to the rest of the chassis.  
There is one screw located on each side of the chassis near the front of the RS 2100. These screws  
will be reused to hold the rack mounting brackets to the RS 2100.  
2. Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of the RS 2100. The  
mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the mounting flange is flush with the front of the  
RS 2100.  
3. Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied Phillips-head screws to attach the mounting  
bracket to both the side and bottom of the chassis.  
Warning  
Be sure to use the Phillips-head screws supplied by Riverstone. If you use  
screws that are longer than the ones included with your shipment, there is a  
danger of damaging the RS 2100‘s internal components.  
4. Attach the other mounting bracket.  
5. Along with an assistant, lift the RS 2100 into place in the mounting rack.  
6. While your assistant holds the chassis in place, use the appropriate tool and mounting hardware to

Make sure the screws are tight before your assistant releases the chassis. If  
you accidentally leave the screws loose, the chassis can slip and fall, possibly  
becoming damaged.  
3.2.4  
Attaching Cables to the Management Ports  
The RS 2100 has two ports for attaching management devices:  
Male DB-9 DCE port – This serial port is used for direct connection to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation  
software. Use this port to perform basic setup using the Command Line Interface (CLI).  
RJ-45 10/100Base-T DTE port – This Media Data Interface (MDI) port is used for in-band management of the  
RS 2100 through a Telnet session to the CLI or through SNMP.  
Connecting the Serial Management Cable  
Use the serial cable to connect the RS 2100 to a terminal (or to a PC running terminal emulation software) to perform  
initial setup and configuration. The RS 2100’s serial cable is a female to female DB-9 crossover cable. Figure 3-2  
shows the serial port’s pin-out. Table 3-2 maps the wiring of the serial cable

4 RS 2100 INITIAL CONFIGURATION  
This chapter provides the following information on powering up the RS 2100 for the first time, and performing  
basic setup procedures. Basic setup include:  
Powering on the RS 2100 and booting the software  
Starting the Command Line Interface (CLI)  
Activating and saving configuration changes  
Assigning passwords  
Using the CLI to add an IP interface, subnet mask, and default gateway  
Setting up SNMP  
Assigning a DNS server(s) to the RS 2100  
Configuring the SYSLOG server and server message levels  
4.1 POWERING ON THE RS 2100  
To power on the RS 2100 perform the following steps:  
1. Make sure all exposed line card slots are free of foreign objects such as tools and are covered  
with blanks.  
2. Make sure that the RS 2100’s DB-9 console port is connected to an active terminal or a PC  
running terminal emulation software.  
Note  
The RS 2100 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. The RS 2100 is turned  
on by plugging in its AC power cords and connecting them to the AC source  
3. Plug the AC power cords into the RS 2100 chassis, then connect the RS 2100 to the AC power  
source.  
If this is the first time you have powered on the RS 2100, it boots automatically using the software image on  
the internal flash memory. While the software is booting, the amber Offline LED on the front of the RS 2100  
is lit. When the software finishes booting, the Offline LED goes dark and the green Online LED lights up,  
indicating that the Rapid Operating System (ROS) software is online.  
In addition, as the software boots, the management terminal or PC attached to the RS 2100’s DB-9 DCE port  
displays messages related to the phases of the boot sequence.

4.2.1  
CLI Access Modes  
The CLI has four levels of access, each of which provides the ability to perform specific operations on the RS 2100  
(see Table 4-1).  
Table 4-1 CLI access modes  
Access Mode  
Description  
User  
Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not allow  
you to display SNMP, filter, and access control list information or make other configuration  
changes. You are in User mode when the command prompt ends with the “>”character.  
Enable  
Allows you to display SNMP, filter, and access control information, as well as all the  
information you can display in User mode. To enter Enable mode, enter the enablecommand,  
then supply the password when prompted. When you are in Enable mode, the command prompt  
ends with the “#” character.  
Configure  
Boot  
Allows you to make configuration changes. To enter Configure mode, first enter Enable mode  
(enablecommand), then enter the configurecommand. When you are in Configure mode,  
the command prompt ends with “(config).”  
This mode appears when the system image is not found during bootup. Enter the reboot  
command to reset the RS 2100. If the RS still fails to boot, contact Riverstone Networks  
Technical Support.  
Certain tasks can be performed only from Boot mode. To enter the Boot mode intentionally, boot  
the RS 2100, and then interrupted the normal bootup sequence by pressing the “Esc” key. When  
you are in Boot mode, the command prompt is “rs-boot>.”  
Note  
The command prompt will show the name of the RS 2100 in front of the mode  
character(s). The default name is “rs.” The procedure in Section 4.4, "Setting the  
Basic System Information" describes how to change the system name.  
When you are in Configure or Enable mode, use the exitcommand or press Ctrl+z to exit to the previous access mode.

Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File  
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
4.3 CONFIGURATION CHANGES AND SAVING THE  
CONFIGURATION FILE  
The RS 2100 uses three special configuration files:  
Table 4-3 Configuration file contents  
File  
Descriptions  
Scratchpad  
The configuration commands you have entered during a management session. These commands  
do not become active until you explicitly activate them. Because some commands depend on other  
commands for successful execution, the RS 2100 scratchpad simplifies system configuration by  
allowing you to enter configuration commands in any order, even when dependencies exist. When  
you activate the commands in the scratchpad, the RS 2100 sorts out the dependencies and executes  
the commands in their proper sequence.  
Active  
Startup  
The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration commands that you have  
made active from the scratchpad.  
The configuration file that the RS 2100 uses to configure itself when the system is powered on.  
Caution The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power cycle.  
If you power off or reboot the RS 2100 without saving the active configuration  
changes to the Startup configuration file, the changes are lost.  
4.3.1  
Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad  
Use the following procedure to activate the configuration commands in the scratchpad.  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configurecommand in the CLI.  
3. Enter the following command:  
save active  
The CLI displays the following message:  
Do you want to make the changes Active? [y]  
4. Enter yto activate the changes.  
4-6 Riverstone Networks RS 2100 Switch Router Getting Started Guide  
 
           
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File  
Note  
If you exit the Configure mode (by entering the exitcommand or pressing  
Ctrl+z), the CLI will ask you whether you want to make active the changes in the  
scratchpad. If you do not make the changes in the scratchpad active, the changes  
will be lost when you log out.  
4.3.2  
Saving the Active Configuration to the Startup Configuration File  
Use the following procedure to save Active configuration changes into the Startup configuration file so that the  
RS 2100 remembers and uses the changes when you reboot the software.  
1. Enter the following command from Configure mode:  
rs(config)# save startup  
2. When the CLI displays the following message, enter yto save the changes:  
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]? y  
%CONFIG-I-SAVED, configuration saved to Startup configuration.  
rs(config)#  
Alternately, to save the Active configuration to the Startup configuration from Enable mode, perform the following  
steps  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Enter the following command to copy the Active configuration to the Startup configuration:  
copy active to startup  
3. When the CLI displays the following message, enter yesto save the changes.  
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration? [n]  
The new configuration changes are added to the Startup configuration file located in the RS 2100’s boot flash.  
Riverstone Networks RS 2100 Switch Router Getting Started Guide 4-7  
 
       
Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File  
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
4.3.3  
Viewing the Current Configuration  
To view the current configuration:  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand.  
2. Enter the following command to display the status of each command line:  
system show active-config  
Note  
Remember that the Active configuration contains both the Startup configuration  
and any configuration changes that you’ve made active in the current  
configuration session.  
The CLI displays the Active configuration file with the following possible annotations:  
Commands without errors are displayed without any annotation.  
Commands with errors are annotated with an “E:.”  
If a particular command has been applied such that it can be expanded on additional interfaces/line  
cards, it is annotated with a “P:.” For example, if you enable STP on all ports on the RS 2100, but  
the RS 2100 contains only one line card, the configuration lines that enable STP will be applied to  
all ports on all other line cards as they are added to the system.  
A command like stp enable et.*.*would be displayed as follows:  
P: stp enable et.*.*  
If you update the configuration file to state specifically which Ethernet ports STP is enabled on, the “P:” annotation  
in the above command line would disappear.

Setting Up Passwords  
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
4.5 SETTING UP PASSWORDS  
You can password-protect CLI access to the RS 2100 by setting up passwords for User mode access and Enable mode  
access. Users who have a User password but not an Enable password can use only the commands available in User  
mode. Users with an Enable password can use commands available in the Enable and Configure modes, as well as the  
commands in User mode.  
In addition, you can set up the RS 2100 for TACACS, TACACS+, and/or RADIUS authentication by a TACACS or  
RADIUS server. Procedures for configuring the RS 2100 for TACACS and RADIUS can be found in the Riverstone  
RS Switch Router User Guide.  
To add password protection to the CLI, use the following procedure.  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configurecommand in the CLI.  
3. Type the following command for each password you want to set:  
system set password login|enable <string>|none  
4. Use the showcommand to examine the commands you just entered.  
5. Use the save activecommand to activate the commands.  
6. Exit the Configuration mode, then use the system show active-configcommand to verify the  
active changes.  
Here is an example of the commands in the previous steps:  
rs(config)# system set password login demo  
rs(config)# system set password enable killer  
rs(config)# save active  
rs# exit  
rs# system show active-config  
Running system configuration:

RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
SettingUpSNMP  
4.6 SETTING UP SNMP  
To use SNMP to manage the RS 2100, you need to set up an SNMP community and specifying the IP address of the  
target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS 2100’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled  
using the snmp stopcommand.  
For additional information about configuring and using SNMP, see the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide.  
4.6.1  
Setting the Community string  
Use the following procedure to add the SNMP community string, specify the target host for traps, and the trap  
interface.  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configurecommand in the CLI.  
3. Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target host IP address for  
the traps:  
rs(config)#snmp set community <community-name> privilege read|read-write  
rs(config)#snmp set target <IP-addr> community <community-name> status enable|disable  
Note  
If the IP address of the trap target is more than one hop away from the RS 2100,  
configure the RS with a static route to the target. If the RS 2100 is rebooted, the  
static route allows a cold start trap to be sent to the trap target. Without a static  
route, the cold-start trap is lost while the routing protocols are converging.  
4. Use the save startupcommand to activate the commands entered in the previous steps.  
Here is an example of the commands and output for configuring SNMP and saving the changes.  
rs# config  
rs(config)# snmp set community public privilege read-write  
rs(config)# snmp set target 16.50.11.12 community public status enable  
rs(config)# save startup  
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]? yes  
There are non-committed configuration changes. Do you want to make

By default, SNMP information is sent and received on the RS 2100’s en0 Ethernet port. If you want SNMP to use a  
different port on the RS 2100, use the following command  
snmp set trap-source <interface>|<IPaddr>  
Here is an example:  
rs(config)# snmp set trap-source 134.152.78.192  
SNMP will now use the port with IP address 134.152.78.192. Remember, to make this change permanent, enter the  
save startupcommand  
4.6.2  
Improving SNMP Security  
SNMPv1 is not a secure protocol. Messages containing community strings are sent in plain text from manager  
application to agent. Anyone with a protocol decoder and access to the wire can capture, modify, and replay messages.  
Applying ACLs to SNMP  
When using SNMP v1 or v2, it is important to protect your RS 2100 by applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the  
SNMP agent to prevent unauthorized access and route your SNMP traffic through trusted networks only.  
Here are the basic configuration commands to apply an ACL to the RS 2100’s SNMP agent, allowing access to the  
RS 2100 by only one management station.  
rs(config)# acl mgmt_only permit udp <IPaddr> any any any  
rs(config)# acl mgmt_only apply service snmp  
The above ACL applied to the SNMP service allows messages from source IP address <IPaddr> to be processed by  
the SNMP agent, packets form any other source IP address are dropped.  
Disabling Authentication Traps  
To provide additional security to the RS 2100, disable the sending of authentication traps. Authentication traps are sent  
when SNMP v1 packets are received with invalid community strings. A common security attack on an SNMP v1 agent  
is to send a message containing an invalid message, and then capture the authentication trap to learn the community  
string.  
Here is an example of how to turn off the sending of authentication traps:  
rs(config)#snmp disable trap authentication

Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address  
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
4.7 SETTING THE DNS DOMAIN NAME AND  
ADDRESS  
Associating a DNS name server with your RS 2100 allows you to use device names (rather than IP addresses) when  
entering certain commands. For example, you can use a device’s name (which the DNS server knows) when using the  
pingcommand.  
If you want the RS 2100 to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to specify the domain name and IP  
address for the DNS server.  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Use the pingcommand to verify that the RS 2100 can reach the DNS server:  
Here is an example:  
rs# ping 16.50.11.12  
PING 16.50.11.12 (16.50.11.12): 56 data bytes  
<IP address of the DNS server>  
64 bytes from 16.50.11.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms  
--- 16.50.11.12 ping statistics ---  
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss  
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms  
3. Enter Configure mode by entering the configurecommand in the CLI.  
4. Enter the following command to specify the domain name for which the DNS server(s) have  
authority:  
system set dns domain<domain-name>  
For example: <domain-name> = riverstone.com  
5. Enter the following command to add the DNS server to the RS 2100:  
system set dns server <IP-addr>[,<IP-addr>[,<IP-addr>]]  
where <IP-addr> is the IP address of the DNS server(s). You can specify up to three DNS servers. Separate the  
server IP addresses with commas.  
6. Enter the save activecommand to activate the commands and enter yesto activate the changes.  
Here is an example:  
rs# config  
rs(config)# system set dns domain "mktg.mrb.com"  
rs(config)# system set dns server 16.50.11.12  
rs(config)# save active

RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address  
7. Exit Configure mode, then enter the system show dnscommand to verify the new DNS settings:  
Here is an example:  
rs# system show dns  
DNS domain: mrb.com, DNS server(s): 16.50.11.12  
8. Use the pingcommand to verify that the RS can resolve the DNS server name into its IP address:  
Here is an example:  
rs# ping rs  
PING rs.mktg.mrb.com (16.50.11.22): 56 data bytes  
64 bytes from 16.50.11.22: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms  
--- rs.mktg.mrb.com ping statistics ---  
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss

Setting the SYSLOG Parameters  
RS 2100 Initial Configuration  
4.8 SETTING THE SYSLOG PARAMETERS  
The RS 2100 can use SYSLOG messages to communicate the following types of messages to a SYSLOG server:  
Table 4-5 Types of SYSLOG messages  
Message Type  
Fatal  
Description  
Information about events that caused the RS 2100 to crash and reset.  
Information about errors.  
Error  
Warning  
Warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions that are not  
necessarily errors.  
Informational  
Informational messages such as status messages. The SYSLOG messages that the CPU  
displays while booting the software and reading the startup configuration file are examples of  
Informational messages.  
Table 4-6 shows examples of the types of SYSLOG messages. Notice that after the facility type (in this case,  
CONFIG”) the message contains a letter that refers to the message type: “F” for fatal, “E” for error, and so on.  
Table 4-6 Examples of message types  
Message Type  
Fatal  
Example  
%CONFIG-F-CREATE_SEMA4 Unable to create %s semaphore: %d  
%CONFIG-E-NEED_COMMAND Need at least one command word to match  
Error  
%CONFIG-W-BACKUP_CFG Cannot find Startup config - using backup on  
PCMCIA flash  
Warning  
%CONFIG-I-SAVED configuration saved to Startup configuration  
Informational  
The RS 2100 writes the SYSLOG messages to a SYSLOG daemon on UDP port 514. You can set the CLI to send all  
or only some of the message types. By default, the CLI sends warning, error, and fatal messages but not informational  
messages to the specified SYSLOG server.  
Use the following procedure to specify the SYSLOG server and the types of messages you want the CLI to send to the  
server.  
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enablecommand in the CLI.  
2. Use the pingcommand to verify that the RS 2100 can reach the SYSLOG server.  
3. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configurecommand in the CLI.  
4. Enter the following commands to add the SYSLOG server to the RS 2100, set the message level, and  
set the SYSLOG facility:  
system set syslog server <hostname-or-IP-addr>  
system set syslog level fatal|error|warning|info  
system set syslog facility<facility-type>

Managing RS 2100 Software  
Loading Software from the Network  
5.3 LOADING SOFTWARE FROM THE NETWORK  
Typically, the RS 2100 loads its operating software from the flash memory contained on the motherboard. Alternately,  
the RS 2100 can be configured to ignore its internal flash image and obtain its software from a network server. The  
RS 2100 can obtain its image software from either a TFTP or BootP/TFTP server.  
5.3.1  
Loading Image Software from a TFTP Server  
Perform the following procedure to configure the RS 2100 to load its image software from a TFTP server:  
1. Copy the image software onto a TFTP server that the RS 2100 can access.  
2. Reboot the RS 2100 and enter Boot mode by pressing the “Esc” key to interrupt the normal boot  
process.  
3. At the Boot prompt, enter the setcommand to view the current bootPROM variable values.  
Here is an example

rs-boot>  
4. Notice in the example above that netaddr, netmask, and gatewayhave the value 0.0.0.0, and  
that bootsource = /pc-flash/boot/ros70.  
5. From the Boot prompt, use the setcommand to set the following:  
IP address of the RS 2100 – (netaddr)  
Subnet mask for the RS 2100 – (netmask)  
The IP address of the RS 2100’s default gateway – (gateway)  
Full path and filename to the software image on the TFTP server – (bootsource)

Managing RS 2100 Software  
Loading Software from the Network  
5.3.2  
Loading Image Software from a BootP/TFTP Server  
The RS 2100 contains a BootP client and can be configured to obtain its image software from a BootP/TFTP server.  
Using the BootP client allows the RS 2100 to obtain its software network address from the server using only its MAC  
address. This eliminates the need to initially configure the RS’s IP address, subnet mask, and boot source.  
To configure the RS 2100 to use its BootP client to obtain its image software, perform the following procedure:  
1. Load the RS 2100’s image software on a BootP/TFTP server that can be reached by the RS 2100.  
2. Boot the RS 2100 and enter Boot mode by interrupting the normal startup sequence by pressing the  
“Esc” key.  
3. Use the setcommand to obtain the RS 2100’s MAC address.  
Here is an example:  
re-boot> set  
...tty1 = 9600  
bootdiagmode = off  
diag_log =  
mfg_loop_by = time  
mfg_loop_max = 86400  
bootdelay = 2  
[off on quick mfg-test]

promsetaddrs = 1  
flow_control = on  
bootptimeout = 5

gateway = 0.0.0.0  
[off on]  
bootsource = /pc-flash/boot/ros70  
bootaddr = 0.0.0.0  
ethaddr = 00:00:1d:12:34:56  
sysid = -1  
< MAC address >  
rs-boot>  
4. Use the setcommand to change the value of autobootto bootp:  
Here is an example:  
rs-boot> set autoboot bootp  
5. Configure the BootP/TFTP server with the RS 2100’s MAC address, an appropriate IP address, and  
the location of the RS 2100 software image file. Additionally, make sure that the ARP cache of the  
BootP/TFTP server is set correctly for the RS 2100.
