NETGEAR 8800 User Manual • CPU monitoring File system administration-With the enhanced file system, 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-With the enhanced 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-With 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, each function can be bundled into a single application module running as a memory protected process under real-time scheduling. In essence, XCM8800 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-With CPU monitoring, you can monitor CPU utilization for Management Modules (MSMs/MMs) and the individual processes running on the switch. Monitoring the workload of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes. The following sections describe in more detail how to manage the software. Using the XCM8800 File System The file system in XCM8800 is the structure by which files are organized, stored, and named. The switch can store multiple user-defined configuration and policy files, each with its own name. Using a series of commands, you can manage the files on your system. For example, you can rename or copy a configuration file on the switch, display a comprehensive list of the configuration and policy files on the switch, or delete a policy file from the switch. Note: Filenames are case-sensitive. For information on filename restrictions, see the specific command in the NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual. You can also download configuration and policy files from the switch to a network Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server using TFTP. For detailed information about downloading switch configurations, see Appendix B, Software Upgrade and Boot Options. For detailed information about downloading policies and ACLs, see Chapter 12, Policy Manager. With guidance from NETGEAR Technical Support personnel, you can configure the switch to capture core dump files, which contain debugging information that is useful in troubleshooting 96 | Chapter 4.
