CLI Services

Using the CLI

 

 

 

 

respond by printing the number four command at the prompt. Using the history list of commands above, the following would display:

-> !4

-> show temp

You can recall the last command in the history list by issuing the !! (bang bang) syntax. The CLI will respond by printing the last command in the history list (show history) at the prompt as shown here.

-> !!

-> show history

Note. When you use !n or !! to recall a command in the history list, you must press the Enter key to execute the command.

You can configure the number of history commands saved by the switch for display by the show history command. The range for the history size value is 1 to 30. To view the history parameters, use the show history parameters command.

-> history size 30

-> show history parameters History size: 30 CurrentSize: 10

Index Range: 1-10

The values in this display are defined here:

•History Size: The number of commands the switch will save for display by the show history command.

•Current Size: The number of commands currently saved by the switch, ready for display by the show history command.

•Index Range: This value indicates the index range of the commands for this CLI session currently stored in the history buffer.

In the above example, the switch is set to display 30 commands. However, when the show history parameters command was issued, only ten commands had yet been issued. Since only ten commands had been issued during the current login session, the index range shows 1 to 10. This is because the commands in the buffer are the first through the tenth commands issued during the current login session.

Note. The Partial Keyword Completion feature described on page 5-5works within the CLI history buffer.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
