Using the CLI

 

 

 

 

Viewing the Current Command Logging Status

As mentioned above, the command logging feature is disabled by default. To view whether the feature is currently enabled or disabled on the switch, use the show command-log status command. For example:

-> show command-log status CLI command logging : Enable

In this case, the feature has been enabled by the user via the command-logcommand. For more informa- tion on enabling and disabling command logging, refer to the sections above.

Viewing Logged CLI Commands and Command Entry Results

To view a list of logged commands, along with the corresponding information (including entry results), enter the show command-logcommand. For example:

Command : interfaces 1/23 duplex full

UserName

: admin

Date

: WED FEB 09 10:56:52

Ip Addr

: 128.251.16.185

Result

: WARNING: No Link, if Link Partner cannot handle this advertizement

of FULL-duplex.

Command : interfaces 1/23 speed 100

UserName

: admin

Date

: WED FEB 09 10:56:40

Ip Addr

: 128.251.16.185

Result

: SUCCESS

Command : command-log enable

UserName

: admin

Date

: WED FEB 09 10:55:44

Ip Addr

: 128.251.16.185

Result

: SUCCESS

The show command-logcommand lists up to 100 CLI commands in descending order. In other words, the most recent commands are listed first. In the example above, the command-log enable syntax is the least recent command logged; the interfaces 1/23 duplex full syntax is the most recent.

•Command. Shows the exact syntax of the command, as entered by the user.

•UserName. Shows the name of the user session that entered the command. For more information on different user session names, refer to Chapter 7, “Managing Switch User Accounts.”

•Date. Shows the date and time, down to the second, when the command was originally entered.

•IP Addr. The IP address of the terminal from which the command was entered.

•Result. The outcome of the command entry. If a command was entered successfully, the syntax SUCCESS displays in the Result field. If a syntax or configuration error occurred at the time a command was entered, details of the error display. For example:

Result : ERROR: Ip Address must not belong to IP VLAN 67 subnet

omniswitch specifications

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.
