Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
To copy file corpa-login.html from a TFTP server into subdirectory corpa in a WSS’s nonvolatile storage, type the
following command:
WSS# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/corpa-login.html corpa/corpa-login.html
success: received 637 bytes in 0.253 seconds [ 2517 bytes/sec]
Using an image file’s MD5 checksum to verify its integrity
If you download an image file from the Nortel support site and install it in a switch’s boot partition, you can verify that
the file has not been corrupted while being copied.
md5 [boot0: | boot1:]filename
To verify an image file’s integrity:
1 Download the image file from the Nortel support site onto a TFTP server, and use the CLI copy tftp
command on the WSS to copy the image onto the switch’s nonvolatile storage.
2 On the Nortel support site, click on the MD5 link next to the link for the image file, to display the MD5
checksum for the file. Here is an example:
b9cf7f527f74608e50c70e8fb896392a NT504103.001
3 On the WSS, use the dir command to display the contents of nonvolatile storage.
4 Enter a command such as the following to calculate the checksum for the file:
pubs# md5 boot0:NT504103.001
MD5 (boot0:NT504103.001) = b9cf7f527f74608e50c70e8fb896392a
5 Compare the checksum on the support site with the checksum calculated by the WSS. If they match, then
the file has not been corrupted.
6 If you have not already done so, use the set boot partition command to configure the
WSS to boot from
the partition containing the new image.
7 Use the reset system [force] command to restart the switch using the new image.
Deleting a file
Note. You must include the boot partition name in the filename. For example,
you must specify boot0:NT504103.001. If you specify only NT504103.001, the CLI
displays a message stating that the file does not exist.
Caution! WSS Software does not prompt you to verify whether you want to delete a
file. When you press Enter after typing a delete command, WSS Software immediately
deletes the specified file. Nortel recommends that you copy a file to a TFTP server before
deleting the file.
