Chapter 7: Console Commands

7. Console Commands

The following list of commands are available from the console prompt (telnet, Web, or enhanced RS-232 interface) of the switch. All commands are case insensitive, although several variable parameters are case-sensitive (read/write community names, telnet and web password). GET, SET, SYSTEM, RACK, and PORT can all be abbreviated by the first letter of the command, allowing shorthand entry of switching commands.

GET ALL

GET SYSTEM

Displays the system status. This is the same as the status returned by the SNMP variable abSystemGangPort. The GET SYSTEM command is meaningful only if you exclusively use the SET SYSTEM command to control the state of all of the switch ports in the system. The GET SYSTEM command queries rack 1 for status and assumes that all other racks in the system are in the same connection state. It will report “A” if any ports in the first rack are in position A, or it will report “B” if all ports in the first rack are in position B.

System Status: A
