Note
Disk Space Management in Cisco NCS
This section provides information on disk space in the Cisco NCS appliances for all types of deployments. Each of the Cisco NCS appliances has different amount of disk space, and managing that disk space is important to enable you to use the Cisco NCS efficiently.
Before proceeding to use the Cisco NCS CLI commands, familiarize yourself with disk space management in the Cisco NCS appliances. You can deploy the Cisco NCS on appliances with small, medium and large form factors and VMware. Table A-1 provides information on Cisco NCS appliances on all the form factors and the available disk space that you need to manage the Cisco NCS.
Table A-2 lists the disk space that you may use on the /var partition that has a total of 6 GB of disk space. You may use 308 MB of the 6 GB of disk space for the operating system and the Cisco ADE OS 2.0 log files. You can then use the remaining 5.7 GB of disk space for a medium and large type deployment.

All the files that you create in the Cisco NCS reside in the /opt partition. You must manage the disk space for the files that you create in the /opt partition so that the files increase in size within the limits that do not have an impact on other files and services in the system.
Table A-3 lists the disk space that you may use on the /opt partition that has a total of 410 GB of disk space. You may use 161 GB of disk space and the remaining of 249 GB for a medium and large type deployment. The remaining 249 GB of disk space can be better utilized for the database growth after you consider the disk space required for backup, restore, and replication.
For detailed information on logging into the Cisco NCS, refer to the Cisco Prime Network Control System Configuration Guide, Release 1.0.

Displays the contents of the currently running configuration file or the configuration.
Displays the contents of the startup configuration file or the configuration.
copy
To copy any file from a source to a destination, use the copy command in EXEC mode. The copy command in the Cisco NCS copies a configuration (running or startup).
Running Configuration
The Cisco NCS active configuration stores itself in the Cisco NCS RAM. Every configuration command you enter resides in the running configuration. If you reboot your Cisco NCS server, you lose the running configuration. If you make changes that you want to save, you must copy the running configuration to a safe location, such as a network server, or save it as the Cisco NCS server startup configuration.
Startup Configuration
You cannot edit a startup configuration directly. All commands that you enter store themselves in the running configuration, which you can copy into the startup configuration.
In other words, when you boot a Cisco NCS server, the startup configuration becomes the initial running configuration. As you modify the configuration, the two diverge: the startup configuration remains the same; the running configuration reflects the changes that you have made. If you want to make your changes permanent, you must copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
The following command lines show some of the copy command scenarios available:
copy running-config startup-config—Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
copy run start—Replaces the startup configuration with the running configuration.
Note
copy startup-config running-config—Copies the startup configuration to the running configuration.
copy start run—Merges the startup configuration on top of the running configuration.
copy [protocol://hostname/location] startup-config—Copies but does not merge a remote file to the startup configuration.
copy [protocol://hostname/location] running-config—Copies and merges a remote file to the running configuration.
copy startup-config [protocol://hostname/location]—Copies the startup configuration to a remote system.
copy running-config [protocol://hostname/location]—Copies the running configuration to a remote system.
copy logs [protocol://hostname/location]—Copies log files from the system to another location.
Note
Syntax Description
running-config
Represents the current running configuration file.
startup-config
Represents the configuration file used during initialization (startup).
protocol
See Table A-5 for protocol keyword options.
hostname
Hostname of destination.
location
Location of destination.
logs
The system log files.
all
Copies all Cisco NCS log files from the system to another location. All logs are packaged as ncslogs.tar.gz and transferred to the specified directory on the remote host.
filename
Allows you to copy a single Cisco NCS log file and transfer it to the specified directory on the remote host, with its original name.
log_filename
Name of the Cisco NCS log file, as displayed by the show logs command (up to 255 characters).
mgmt
Copies the Cisco NCS management debug logs and Tomcat logs from the system, bundles them as mgmtlogs.tar.gz, and transfers them to the specified directory on the remote host.
runtime
Copies the Cisco NCS runtime debug logs from the system, bundles them as runtimelogs.tar.gz, and transfers them to the specified directory on the remote host.
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
EXEC
Usage Guidelines
The fundamental function of the copy command allows you to copy a file (such as a system image or configuration file) from one location to another location. The source and destination for the file specified uses the Cisco NCS file system, through which you can specify any supported local or remote file location. The file system being used (a local memory source or a remote system) dictates the syntax used in the command.
You can enter on the command line all the necessary source and destination information and the username and password to use; or, you can enter the copy command and have the server prompt you for any missing information. You can enter upto a maximum of 2048 bytes of source and destination URL information on the command line.
Timesaver
The entire copying process might take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to network.
Use the filename relative to the directory for file transfers.
Possible error is standard FTP error message.

Examples
ncs/admin# ping 172.16.0.1 df 2 packetsize 10 pingcount 2PING 172.16.0.1 (172.16.0.1) 10(38) bytes of data.18 bytes from 172.16.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=40 time=306 ms18 bytes from 172.16.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=40 time=300 ms--- 172.16.0.1 ping statistics ---2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001msrtt min/avg/max/mdev = 300.302/303.557/306.812/3.255 ms, pipe 2ncs/admin#Related Commands
ping6
Similar to the IPv4 ping command, use the IPv6 ping6 command in EXEC mode.
ping6 {ip-address | hostname} [GigabitEthernet 0-3][packetsize packetsize] [pingcount pingcount]
Syntax Description
Command Default
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
EXEC
Usage Guidelines
The IPv6 ping6 command sends an echo request packet to an address, then awaits a reply. The ping output can help you evaluate path-to-host reliability, delays over the path, and whether you can reach a host.
The IPv6 ping6 command is similar to the existing IPv4 ping command that does not support the IPv4 ping fragmentation (df in IPv4) options, but allows an optional specification of an interface. The interface option is primarily useful for pinning with link-local addresses that are interface-specific. The packetsize and pingcount options work identically the same as they do with the IPv4 command.
Examples

In the show interface GigabitEthernet 0 output, you can find that the interface has three IPv6 addresses. The first internet address (starting with 3ffe) is the result of using stateless autoconfiguration. For this to work, you need to have IPv6 route advertisement enabled on that subnet. The next address (starting with fe80) is a link local address that does not have any scope outside the host. You always see a link local address regardless of the IPv6 autoconfiguration or DHCPv6 configuration. The last address (starting with 2001) is the result obtained from an IPv6 DHCP server.

Command Modes
Configuration
Usage Guidelines
IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration has the security downfall of having predictable IP addresses. This downfall is resolved with privacy extensions. You can verify that the privacy extensions feature is enabled using the show command.
Example 1
ncs/admin# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.ncs/admin(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0ncs/admin(config)# (config-GigabitEthernet)# ipv6 address autoconfigncs/admin(config)# (config-GigabitEthernet)# endncs/admin#When IPv6 autoconfiguration is enabled, the running configuration shows the interface settings similar to the following:
!interface GigabitEthernet 0ip address 172.23.90.116 255.255.255.0ipv6 address autoconfig!You can use the show interface GigabitEthernet 0 command to display the interface settings. In example 2, you can see that the interface has three IPv6 addresses. The first address (starting with 3ffe) is obtained using the stateless autoconfiguration. For the stateless autoconfiguration to work, you must have IPv6 route advertisement enabled on that subnet. The next address (starting with fe80) is a link-local address that does not have any scope outside the host. You will always see a link local address regardless of the IPv6 autoconfiguration or DHCPv6 configuration. The last address (starting with 2001) is obtained from a IPv6 DHCP server.
Example 2

To verify that the privacy extensions feature is enabled, you can use the show interface GigabitEthernet 0 command. You can see two autoconfiguration addresses: one address is without the privacy extensions, and the other is with the privacy extensions.
In the example 3 below, the MAC is 3ffe:302:11:2:20c:29ff:feaf:da05/64 and the non-RFC3041 address contains the MAC, and the privacy-extension address is 302:11:2:9d65:e608:59a9:d4b9/64.
The output appears similar to the following:
