Switch Installation and Setup

Using the Console

modify (alias = 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.

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, client is the switch-attribute, and 1 is the parameter indicating that you want to show information about "client 1".

If you don't specify parameters with the command, the console prompts you for a choice and provides a default value displayed in parentheses. For example, if you enter show client without specifying a client (as a parameter), the following appears:

SmartCell ZX # show client

ClientNumber(ALL)

:

Here, the default of "all" clients is presented. You can either accept the default by pressing Enter, or you can enter a specific client number. Accepting the default displays the following:

SmartCell ZX # show client

 

 

ClientNumber(ALL)

 

:<Enter>

When you accept the (all) default for show, the information displayed is often condensed.

Adding and Modifying

The add and modify operators often need parameters. You can enter these parameters on the command line before entering the command. If you don't enter the parameters, the switch prompts you for values.
