Introduction

This chapter provides the command line interface (CLI) options available for the IOLAN. The commands are grouped by function.

CLI Conventions

This section explains how to interpret the CLI syntax.If you are an existing Terminal Server customer and would like to configure the IOLAN in the native Terminal Server interface, you can type the command ts-configto display and use the native Terminal Server interface (you must have User Level Admin). See your Terminal Server User Guide for information on using the Terminal Server interface.

Command Syntax

Each command is broken down into several categories:

zDescription—Provides a brief explanation of how the command is used.

zUser Level—Shows which user level(s) (Restricted, Normal, and/or Admin) can issue the command. Some commands have options that are available for one user level and not for another level; this usually occurs when a command is valid for both Normal and Admin user levels, where the Admin user level command will have extended options.

zSyntax—Shows the actual command line options. The options can be typed in any order on the command line. The syntax explanation will use the following command to break down the command syntax:

set service [dhcp/bootp onoff] [telnetd onoff] [httpd onoff] [snmpd onoff] [spcd onoff] [syslog onoff] [dmgrd onoff]

–Square brackets ([]) show the options that are available for the command. You can type a command with each option individually, or string options together in any order you want. For example,

set service dhcp/bootp on telnetd off

–Angle brackets (<>) show that the text inside the brackets is a description for a variable value that you must fill in according to your requirements. In the set server command, you must determine the values for domain, internet, name, password-limit, and subnet-bit-length, if you wish to specify them and not use their defaults (default values provided in the Options description). The angle brackets can also contain a range that can be used.

–The pipe () shows an ’or’ condition. For example, valid values for telnetd are either on or off.
