Querying the Gateway

Querying the Configuration Method

If you do not know the configuration method currently used for the Gateway, you can determine the method via the bootp: ON/OFF Telnet configuration value. To do this:

1At the Telnet prompt (>), type config. This displays the current configuration settings for the Gateway.

2Check the bootp: configuration setting. If it is set to OFF, the current configuration method is the Telnet configuration method. If the configuration setting is set to ON, the current configuration method is BOOTP or BOOTP with TFTP configuration method.

If you want to change the configuration method, see “Changing the Configuration Method”. If you want to continue using the current configuration method, but need to change one or more of configuration values, see Chapter 3 to reconfigure the Gateway.

Querying Gateway/Client Connections

This section shows how to query the status of the Gateway and its client connections (the LAN client computer systems that are connected to the Gateway to perform I/O operations via the Gateway).

To query the status of the Gateway and client connections via the Telnet utility, type status at the Telnet prompt (>). This displays the Telnet status screen that lists all current clients connected to this Gateway.
