Porting Your Network in Command Line

 



Overview

 

The Network Designer allows you to package the network in command line that you have created with the desired configurations and install it in any other system having Simulation Toolkit. For example, you have created the network in Linux system with all the desired configuration. This network and its configuration can be packaged in command line and sent across for demo or trade shows or kept as a backup.

 

You can also package the required devices added to the device tree from command prompt and install it in any other system having Simulation Toolkit. In this topic, you will learn about the options available to package and install your network and devices. The command line option will help in automating the porting of network and devices.

 

Packaging Your Network in Command Line

 

To package your network in command line, type the following command from the <SimulatorHome>/bin/cmdline directory.

 

In windows:

 

Package.bat net1,net2,net3 zipfileName.zip

 

In Linux:

 

Package.sh net1,net2,net3 zipfileName.zip

 

 

Packaging the Devices in the Device Tree

 

To package your devices in the device tree type the following command from the <SimulatorHome>/bin/cmdline directory.

 

In windows:

 

PackageDevice.bat dev1,dev2,dev3 zipfileName.zip

 

In Linux:

 

PackageDevice.sh dev1,dev2,dev3 zipfileName.zip

 

 

Installing the Network/Devices

 

To install from command line your network or the devices that you packaged, type the following command from the <SimulatorHome>/bin/cmdline directory.

 

In windows:

 

InstallPackage.bat zipfileName.zip

or

InstallPackage.bat zipfileName.zip groupName

 

In Linux:

 

InstallPackage.sh zipfileName.zip

or

InstallPackage.sh zipfileName.zip groupName

 

 
The first option (without groupName ) will install the packaged devices in the groups, in which they were previously existed. If the packaged group is not present at the time of installation, then that group will be created and the device will be installed under it.

The second option (with groupName) will install the package devices in that specified group. If the specified group is not present at the time of installation, then it will be created and the devices will be installed under it
