SYSTEM COMMANDS

OVERVIEW

Two classes of system administration commands are available on the CyberSWITCH: guest commands and administrator commands. Guest commands provide current operational information only, and are available to all security levels. Administrator commands allows access to the complete system command set.

The log-in to the system controls command access. Each access level (guest or administrator) is protected by a unique log-in password. This capability allows managers to assign different responsibility levels to their system administrators.

General operation commands immediately follow this discussion. These commands are divided by functions. Specific feature commands begin on page 530. These commands are arranged alphabetically. For a tabularized listing of system commands, refer to the Command Table.

Note: When there are a group of related commands, a help screen is available. For example, to display the help screen for all of the br commands, enter br? at the system prompt.A screen will then be displayed that includes the available br commands, the syntax for each command, and a definition for each command.

ACCESSING ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

The following commands are available for system login:

admin

Logs you into the system and provides access to all system commands. The system will ask you to enter or set the password for administrator level access. Be careful, passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive.

admin<00><01><02>...<99>

If you have configured multiple administration login names on your off-node server, you must use one of the configured names to log into the CyberSWITCH. The acceptable names are admin00 through admin99. Proper login provides you with access to all system commands. The system will ask you to enter or set the password for administrator level access. Be careful, passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive. (Note: This command is not available for local access.)

guest

Logs you into the system and allows the user access to the commands for viewing operational information only. All other commands for changing information on the system are not available. The System will ask you to enter or set the password for guest level access. Be careful, passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive.

exit

Terminates the administration session by logging-out the current administrator. You can start another session by using one of the two log-in commands outlined above.
