Modifying Parameters

Parameter values are stored in non-volatile memory on the Bridge Module. Your Bridge Module unit is shipped from the factory with specific default parameter values. Some of the default parameter settings are shown on the previous page in the example explaining the SHOW DEVICE command.

Use the SET command to modify parameter values. You must first type the administrator password when you log in to the management interface. The administrator password provides access to commands that allow you to modify the current bridge configuration.

Once you have entered the administrator password, you can change parameter values using the SET command. Listed below is an example of changing the Bridge Module terminal baud rate.

OEBM> set terminal baud 1200 [ENTER]

Terminal parameter changed

Once you have made all the parameter changes you want, you may want to issue the SAVE ALL command and then logout of administrator mode to prevent any unauthorized changes.

Saving Parameters

When you reboot the system, all parameters that can be set are reset to their saved values. Therefore, to save the new parameter values you changed and make them effective on the next reboot, you must issue the SAVE command before rebooting. Use the SAVE command to save parameter values for the following groups:
