Installation and Configuration

96

Nevertheless, check the file /etc/grdev1.conf. It must contain an entry for the
slot in which the media card is installed. As we have our card in slot 3, the
entry looks as follows:

These entries show up after the SP Switch Router Adapter card gets
configured on the SP Switch.

3.13 Step 5. Reset SP Switch Router System to Install Files

To install the system configuration files, first save the files and then reboot the
SP Switch Router.

Save the files after you complete changing the system parameters, and again
after you configure the media cards and any network services, such as
filtering or dynamic routing, using

grwrite -v.

To check if any files need to be

written to permanent storage, use

grwrite -vn

.

Note:

grwrite

only saves files in the /etc directory. If you changed files in

different directories, use

grsite

and

grsite --perm,

respectively.

Use

reboot -i

to reset the system.

3.13.1 Saving Configuration Files

Use the

grwrite -v

command to save the configuration files in the /etc

directory from RAM to a flash device. This preserves the configuration files
over a reboot.
