Enhancements to LCM Commands

2.4 BASIC LCM COMMANDS

To manage the SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27TX using LCM, you first must connect the switch to an ASCII terminal or terminal emulator.

To use LCM, begin by pressing the Enter key several times to get the LCM prompt (ELS10-27>).

2.4.1 Help

Displays the menu of available commands. Help can also be displayed by typing a question mark (?).

Telnet support allows you to telnet to the device and gain access to LCM. The device allows 4 sessions. The only password for telnet is the Read-Write community name for the device and this name allows full access. You are not allowed to modify passwords via a Telnet session. If an IP address is added or modified using Telnet, the new address will not take affect until the next reboot.

The Read-Write community name is not used to make modifications to the configuration. Reading the configuration can be accomplished without knowledge of the Read-Write community name. There is no support for the Read-Only community name. Any name other than the Read-Write Community name will allow for Read-Only access.

2.4.2 Erase

Entering erase to erase the current SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27TX configuration returns all parameters to the default values. You will be prompted to complete the command.

NOTE

You must type “YES” and reboot the system to implement the change. If only “Y” is entered, the change will not be implemented.

2.4.3 Exit or Logout

This command logs you out of LCM. (The exit command is functionally equivalent to the logout command.)
