Using Bridge Management
This section explains how to access Bridge Management, enter and edit commands, get help, view, modify, and save parameters. This section also describes how to display status information about your network and your Bridge Module.
Note: Bridging software enables you to execute Management commands regardless of bridging activity. Therefore, bridging performance will be affected for the duration of the command execution.
Connecting to the Management Interface
Refer to the section titled “Connecting a Terminal” in Chapter 2 for instructions on connecting your terminal to the Management Interface
Entering and Editing Commands
You manage the Bridge Module by entering commands at the management prompt. The default management prompt is “OEBM>," but can be customized. Use the keys described in Table
Caution: If the management prompt appears as “>>," it means that the current Flash EPROM is faulty and that the system is running off the Boot PROM (a subset of the operational code). Type the HELP command for information on the V1.3 command set. This command set will keep your bridge operational, but with reduced capabilities.
