Cisco Systems 1.0 (1) Saving, Viewing, and Retrieving Files, Getting Help for Command Line Tools

If a remote Support Tools Server is to serve as both the application server and the target of the command, you must specify that machine as both the application server and the target system. For example:

>interrogate st_server_a

>system st_server_a

>query

Viewing a list of targetable systems

Once connected to an application server, you can use the systemlist (or syslist) command to view a list of all systems that can be selected for targeting. Use the /check option with systemlist to verify connection status to available systems.

For example, entering systemlist /check returns output such as:

Hostname:	IP Address:	System Type:	Connection:
10.86.128.84	10.86.128.84	ICM	c
10.86.142.23	10.86.142.23	CEM	c
10.86.142.39	10.86.142.39	ICM	X

A lower-case c indicates a live connection. An X indicates a failed connection.

Saving, Viewing, and Retrieving Files

Most Cisco Web utilities allow you to save, view, and download files from the Support Tools Repository. Each Support Tools node has its own local Repository. When using Web utilities from a command line on a node, the Repository in use is the Repository on that node (or whatever machine has been specified as the application server).

Getting Help for Command Line Tools

Use the cmdhelp or chelp command to view a complete list of options for any tool.

To view usage for a specific command, enter: <command_name> /?.

Embedded Spaces

In command-line arguments, remember to place paths, file names, etc. that contain embedded spaces in quotes. Failure to do this will prevent a command from executing correctly.
