• Solution ID: sk41117

There are various options given in the article, this…

ipso[nick]# cp -p $FWDIR/conf/initial_module.pf $FWDIR/conf/initial_module.pf.OLD
ipso[nick]# cp $FWDIR/lib/defaultfilter.ipso $FWDIR/conf/initial_module.pf
ipso[nick]# comp_init_policy -g
initial_module:
Compiled OK.
ipso[nick]#

… will do in most cases!

If an administrator has setup your Nokia (IPSO) shell account to log into clish rather than the unix shell… and you need to cpstop;cpstart… you can switch shells with the command…

Nokia:>shell
[admin@nokia]#

It’s quite a simple command, so why can’t I remember it!

Footnote:
iclid is the “router shell” – where you can do show commands
clish is the “voager shell” – where you can “set” things and make changes
/bin/sh or Bourne shell (or sh) is the “Unix shell” – where you have access to the root operating system and can make changes to the file-system or restart processes.
