Purpose

The documents describe the configuration of various services supported by the CX91x series switch modules. The description covers configuration examples and function configurations.

The product features and commands for the 10GE switching plane of the CX91x series switch modules vary according to the software version. For details, see the documents listed in the following table.

Run the display version command in the switching plane CLI and select a reference document based on the Switch Version or Software Version displayed in the command output.

• System maintenance engineers

Symbol Conventions

The symbols that may be found in this document are defined as follows.

Command Conventions

The command conventions that may be found in this document are defined as follows.

Interface Numbering Conventions

Interface numbers used in this manual are examples. In device configuration, use the existing interface numbers on devices.

Security Conventions

• Password setting
  • When configuring a password in plain text, the password is saved in the configuration file in plain text. The plain text has high security risks. The cipher text is recommended. To ensure device security, change the password periodically.
  • When you configure a password in cipher text that starts and ends with %@%@ (the password can be decrypted by the device), the password is displayed in the same manner as the configured one in the configuration file. Do not use this setting.
• Encryption algorithm

  Currently, the device uses the following encryption algorithms: DES, AES, SHA-1, SHA-2, and MD5. DES and AES are reversible, and SHA-1, SHA-2, and MD5 are irreversible. The encryption algorithm depends on actual networking. If protocols are used for interconnection, the locally stored password must be reversible. It is recommended that the irreversible encryption algorithm be used for the administrator password.

• Personal data

  Some personal data may be obtained or used during operation or fault location of your purchased products, services, features, so you have an obligation to make privacy policies and take measures according to the applicable law of the country to protect personal data.

• Remote access
  • The Telnet protocol is not secure. Data is not encrypted during transmission over Telnet. Therefore, transmitted data may be restored after IP packets are captured without authorization. It is recommended that files be transmitted over SSH.
  • The FTP and TFTP protocol is not secure. Data is not encrypted during transmission over FTP and TFTP. Therefore, transmitted data may be restored after IP packets are captured without authorization. It is recommended that files be transmitted over SFTP.
