Chapter 17 Managing System Commands

Rebooting the module or switch

It is highly recommended that you use the system reboot command to reboot a module in the M770 ATM Switch or the entire switch, instead of using the reset button. This is because the system reboot command first flushes any outstanding configuration updates to the non-volatile memory, whereas pressing the reset button may cause configuration information to be lost.

To reboot the module or switch, use the system reboot [moduleswitch] command. You will be prompted to confirm the operation.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>system reboot [moduleswitch]

Parameters:

module

The module will be restarted, losing all connections

 

 

to the module.

 

switch

The switch will be restarted, losing all connections to

 

 

the switch.

Example:

M15-155s8:/>system reboot module

Output:

This will restart the module, losing all connections -

 

do you want to continue (y/n)?

Note: When the M770 ATM Switch is rebooted, all connections will be lost.

Viewing the current switch memory allocation

You can view the current breakdown of memory allocation on the modules. The total amount of memory is equal to the amount of RAM memory you have in the module.

To display the current M770 ATM Switch memory allocation, use the system memory command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>system memory

 

Output:

Free memory:

22000

kbytes

 

Total memory:

32768

kbytes

Viewing time received from the time server

A time server is a server that provides the date and time, (as specified by RFC 868), such as a UNIX machine running ‘timed’ to the M770 ATM Switch. For information about setting up a time server, see Viewing or Changing the IP Time Server Address in Chapter 4, “Managing Miscellaneous Commands”.

To view the current time received from the time server, use the system time command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>system time

 

Output:

The time is 14:28:04 14
