4 4. Commands for Managing the NETGEAR 8800 Software This chapter describes commands for: • Working with the configuration and policy files used by the switch • Starting, stopping, and displaying information about processes on the switch • Viewing system memory resources • Monitoring CPU utilization Note: For information about downloading and upgrading a new software image, saving configuration changes, and upgrading the BootROM, see Appendix A, "Configuration and Image Commands." Like any advanced operating system, NETGEAR 8800 OS gives you the tools to manage your switch and create your network configurations. The following enhancements and functionality are included in the switch operating system: • File system administration-You can move, copy, and delete files from the switch. The file system structure allows you to keep, save, rename, and maintain multiple copies of configuration files on the switch. In addition, you can manage other entities of the switch such as policies and access control lists (ACLs). • Configuration file management-You can oversee and manage multiple configuration files on your switch. In addition, you can upload, download, modify, and name configuration files used by the switch. • Process control-You can stop and start processes, restart failed processes, and update the software for a specific process or set of processes. • Memory protection-With memory protection, the NETGEAR 8800 protects each process from every other process in the system. If one process experiences a memory fault, that process cannot affect the memory space of another process. • CPU monitoring-You can monitor CPU utilization for Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs)/Management Modules (MMs) and the individual processes running on the switch. Monitoring the workload of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes. Chapter 4. Commands for Managing the NETGEAR 8800 Software | 157
