Getting started
About this guide
This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration explanations and examples to configure SR OS boot option file (BOF), file system and system management functions.
For information about the concepts and descriptions of the classic Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and command usage, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Classic CLI Command Reference Guide.
For information about the concepts and descriptions of the MD-CLI syntax and command usage, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR MD-CLI User Guide and the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR MD-CLI Command Reference Guide.
This guide is organized into functional chapters and provides concepts and descriptions of the implementation flow.
The topics and commands described in this document apply to the:
-
7450 ESS
-
7750 SR
-
7950 XRS
-
Virtualized Service Router
For a list of unsupported features by platform and chassis, see the SR OS R23.x.Rx Software Release Notes, part number 3HE 19269 000 x TQZZA.
Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ depending on supported functionality and user configuration.
The SR OS CLI trees and command descriptions can be found in the following guides:
-
7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Classic CLI Command Reference Guide
-
7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Clear, Monitor, Show, and Tools Command Reference Guide (for both the MD-CLI and classic CLI)
-

This guide generically covers Release 23.x.Rx content and may contain some content that will be released in later maintenance loads. See the SR OS R23.x.Rx Software Release Notes, part number 3HE 19269 000 x TQZZA, for information about features supported in each load of the Release 23.x.Rx software.
Router system configuration process
Configuration process lists the tasks necessary to configure boot option files (BOF) and system and file management functions. Each chapter in this book is presented in an overall logical configuration flow. Each section describes a software area and how to configure that functional area. After the hardware installation has been properly completed, proceed with the router configuration tasks in the following order:
Area | Task | Section |
---|---|---|
Operational functions |
Directory and file management |
|
Boot options |
Configure boot option files (BOF) |
|
Service management |
||
Debug configuration |
Perform debugging tasks for various protocols |
|
Zero touch provisioning |
