How to Use the Command-line Interface

Chapter 3

This chapter explains how to get management access to the Avaya M770 ATM Switch command-line interface and how to use the command-line interface to manage the switch.

Getting Connected

You can access the Avaya M770 ATM Switch command-line interface by one of the following methods:

•Direct connection to an ATM module using a serial interface, using a VT100 terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. For information about the serial interface, refer to the module’s Installation Guides.

•Telnet connection, using a standard Telnet program to the ATM module.

•Direct Connection or Telnet Connection via the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS (S/W Ver 2.5 or higher). For more information, see to the M-SPS Installation Guide.

When a terminal is connected to the command-line interface, the M770 ATM Switch displays a welcome message on the terminal screen and logs the user directly into the root of the command-line interface. You can set a password for serial and telnet connections into the switch. For more information about setting up a password, see Setting passwords for local/remote connections in Chapter 4, Managing Miscellaneous Commands.

Note: You can access the command-line interface using Telnet directly to the ATM module only if the M770 ATM Switch’s management LEC is currently joined to an ELAN that is accessible from the network management station, and the IP address of the switch has been set. However, you can access the M770 ATM Switch via Telnet to the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS (using an Ethernet connection).
