IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Accessing the Operating/Monitoring Process, Gwcon Talk

Accessing the Operating/Monitoring Process, GWCON (Talk 5)

To view information about the interfaces, features, or protocols or to change parameters while running, you must access and use the operating (monitoring) process. Operating command interfaces are modes of the GWCON interface. Within the GWCON mode, each interface, feature, or protocol interface has its own prompt. For example, the prompt for the TCP/IP protocol is IP>.

Note: Any parameters you change in this process will not remain active across any event that causes the 2210 to reload the operational code, such as a power outage or entering the restart command.

The next sections describe these procedures in more detail.

Entering the GWCON Command Process

To enter the GWCON process from OPCON and obtain the GWCON prompt, enter the talk command and the PID for GWCON. For example:

*talk 5

The GWCON prompt (+) then displays on the console. If the prompt does not appear, press Return again.

Accessing the Third-Level Processes

After accessing the second level, you must enter commands on the third level to con®gure or operate the interfaces, features, and protocols in your IBM 2210. The following sections describe how to access the third level processes.

Accessing Network Interface Con®guration and Operating Processes

This section describes how to get started with accessing the network interface con®guration and operating processes. Accessing these processes lets you change and monitor software-con®gurable parameters for network interfaces used in your router.

Accessing the Network Interface Con®guration Process

Use the following procedure to access the router's con®guration process. This process gives you access to a speci®c interface'scon®gurationprocess.

1.At the OPCON prompt, enter the OPCON talk command and the PID for CONFIG. (For more details about this command, refer to ªChapter 3. The OPCON Processº on page 25.)

* talk 6

After you enter the talk 6 command, the CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on the console. If the prompt does not appear when you ®rst enterCONFIG, press Return again.

Use the add device command to create a network interface. The add device command automatically assigns the interface number and supports the following types of devices (Enter add device ? to get a list of the supported device types):
