XNS

Consists of a network address followed by a MAC address. The

 

 

network address distinguishes between different XNS Ethernet

 

 

networks. It contains eight hexadecimal digits, and is preceded by an

 

 

ampersand (&), which is used for identification. Leading zeros can be

 

 

omitted. The following addresses are the same:

 

 

&3333%080002001326

 

 

&00003333%080002001326

 

 

Getting Help

The user interface provides help menus as memory aids. To display the help menu,

 

enter a question mark (?). The question mark can be used with different options as

 

described in Table 7.

 

Table 7 Online Help Syntax Summary

Syntax

Description

 

 

?

Displays the help menu. Different commands are displayed de-

 

pending on whether Network Manager privilege or User privilege is in

 

effect. The commands are organized according to services.

 

 

-?

Displays a list of services.

 

 

-service?

Displays a list of commands within the service.

 

For example, to display a list of commands in the SYS Service, enter:

 

-SYS?

 

If there are no commands under the service, a message is displayed to

 

indicate this. For example, enter this command at the prompt:

 

-IDP?

 

A message similar to the following appears:

 

No commands available in IDP service

 

 

command -service?

Displays a list of parameters that can be used with the command

 

within the service.

 

For example, to display a list of PORT Service parameters that can be

 

used with the SETDefault command, enter:

 

SETDefault -PORT?

 

 

command ?

Displays parameters by service name that can be used with the

 

command. Only parameters in services specified by the

 

CurrentServices parameter are displayed.

command -service parameter?

Displays syntax for the command used with the parameter.

For example, to display the syntax for the SETDefault command used with the CONTrol parameter in the SNMP Service, enter:

SETDefault -SNMP CONTrol?

Storing Configuration Configuration parameters are stored in flash memory or on the disk of another

Parameter Values server (for example, the TFTP/FTP server that boots the bridge/router or tunnel switch). In this guide, the term “disk” refers to either the local flash memory drive or the hard disk on another server.

When the bridge/router is booted, it copies configuration parameters from the disk to memory. Parameter values on the disk are default values and values in memory are active values. You can alter the default and active values with the SETDefault and SET commands. For more information, see Reference for Enterprise OS Software.

When the new value of a parameter takes effect depends on whether its active value has been changed. Some commands change the active value only, some change the default value, and some change both. If you display the parameter after
