Cabletron Systems 9032578-05 manual Getting Help with CLI Commands, Configure Mode, Boot Prom Mode

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Enable mode command prompt consists of the SSR name followed by the pound sign(#):

ssr#

To exit Enable mode and return to User mode, either type exit and press Return, or press Ctrl+Z.

Configure Mode

Configure mode provides the capabilities to configure all features and functions on the SSR. These include router configuration, access control lists and spanning tree. To enter Configure mode, enter the command config from Enable mode.

Note: As mentioned previously, up to four Telnet sessions can be run simultaneously on the SSR. All four sessions can be in Configure mode at the same time, so you should consider limiting access to the SSR to authorized users.

The Configure mode command prompt consists of the SSR name followed by (config) and a pound sign (#):

ssr(config)#

To exit Configure mode and return to Enable mode, either type exit and press Return, or press Ctrl+Z.

Boot PROM Mode

If your SSR does not find a valid system image on the external PCMCIA flash, the system might enter programmable read-only memory (PROM) mode. You should then reboot the SSR (enter the command reboot at the boot PROM prompt) to restart the system. If the system fails to reboot successfully, please call Cabletron Systems Technical Support to resolve the problem.

For information on how to upgrade the boot PROM software and boot using the upgraded image, see the SmartSwitch Router Getting Started Guide.
