Switch Installation and Setup

Using the Console

All console commands use the syntax:

operator switch-attribute [<parameter 1> <parameter 2>... <parameter n>]

Where the operator is one of the following:

show ( display): Show the current values used by a switch-attribute.

add ( create): Add a new instance of a switch-attribute.

delete ( remove): Delete an instance of a switch-attribute.

modify ( set): Change the values that currently define a switch-attribute.

start: Start a process on the switch; for example, start the LAN Emulation Configuration Server.

restart: Restart a process on the switch; for example, restart a client.

flush: Remove assigned values; for example, flush a route table.

alias: Create easier names for often-used commands and their parameters.

Entering parameters at the command line is optional. If a command requires parameter values, it prompts you for them. For instance, in the example below, show is the operator, portconfig is the switch-attribute, and a1 is the parameter indicating that you want to show configuration information about port A1.
