The system files consist of the required configuration files, as well as the operational files that the
CyberSWITCH maintains. All of these files may be accessed by using available administrative
commands. (Refer to the
System Commands chapter for details.)
Below is a brief description of the configuration and operational files.
C ONFIGURATION F ILES
The configuration files store the configuration data. These files are located in the system’s
\config directory. You can maintain these files by using the CFGEDIT configuration utility,
which is delivered with the system. You can also make changes to these files through Manage
Mode.
The configuration files associated with the system are:
network.nei
This configuration file contains information about the switched network.
devdb.nei
This file contains the On-node Device Database configuration information about each remote
device.
node.nei
This configuration file contains node-specific information like resources, lines, CyberSWITCH
operating mode and security options, along with the Throughput Monitor Configuration
information. If enabled, SNMP configuration information is also in this file.
lan.nei
This file contains configuration information used when the bridge is enabled. This file also contains
information for the Spanning Tree protocol used for the bridge. Information from this file is
configured and used only when the bridge is enabled.
ip.nei
This file contains configuration information used when the IP routing is enabled. This file also
contains information regarding network interfaces, RIP, and static routes. Information from this file
is configured and used only when the IP routing is enabled.
ipx.nei
This file contains configuration information used when the IPX routing is enabled. This file also
contains information regarding network interfaces, RIP, and static routes. Information from this file
is configured and used only when the IPX routing is enabled.
filter.nei
This file contains all filter configuration information (bridge, hardware, and IP). This file is new to
Release 7.2 software, but is compatible with previous software versions, which contained filter
information in the
lan.nei and/or ip.nei files. With Release 7.2 configuration changes and
configuration file updates, this filter information will be moved to filter.nei .
