Installing the Reference Configuration File (RCF)
You can install the RCF after setting up the Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch for the first time and after the new license or licenses have been applied.
- Connect the cluster switch to the management network.
- Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the server hosting EFOS, licenses, and the RCF.If connectivity is an issue, use a nonrouted network and configure the service port using IP address 192.168.x or 172.19.x. You can reconfigure the service port to the production management IP address later.
Example
This example verifies that the switch is connected to the server at IP address 172.19.2.1:(cs2) # ping 172.19.2.1
Pinging 172.19.2.1 with 0 bytes of data:
Reply From 172.19.2.1: icmp_seq = 0. time= 5910 usec. - Install the RCF on the BES-53248 switch using the copy command.
Example
(cs2) # copy sftp://root@172.19.2.1//tmp/BES-53248_RCFv1.0.4.txt
