Appendix

To list commands within a functional group, simply type in the functional group name. For example, to list all of the firmware commands, type Firmware. The system would display the following:

-> Firmware

 

 

fwUpdate

units firmware

fwVersion

Display Firmware revisions

bootSelect

Online Help

The online help for the CLI provides, for each command, all necessary information to successfully execute the command. For example, typing help fwUpdate displays the following information for the firmware update command:

NAME fwUpdate

SYNOPSIS

fwUpdate [host user password dir filename]

DESCRIPTION

Updates the firmware.

OPTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

host

- hostname where the

file resides

user

- username

for

ftp

 

password

-

username

for

ftp

 

dir

-

directory to

cd to

after logging in

filename - name of the firmware file

NOTES

Firmware update works by using ftp to retrieve the firmware file, then writes the file to flash. Omitting [host user password dir filename] will cause the user to be prompted for this information.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The CLI keeps a history of recently executed commands. This history is available via the Up and Down arrow keys.

Users may edit the current command with the Left and Right arrow keys.

Tab completion: pressing the Tab key after typing at least one character either completes a command or lists all the available commands that begin with the characters already typed.

Accessing the CLI

Note The CLI can be accessed via Telnet, SSH, or through the SFS 7024 RS232 serial port. The following instructions use Telnet.

Step 1 Telnet to the IP address of the SFS 7024 (the default IP address is 192.168.100.9) with the following command:

open <IP ADDRESS>

Step 2 The system prompts for a username. The CLI has the following default user names:

Operator access: operator

Administrator access: admin
