L2 Operation

To target individual blades in an IRU use the following syntax:

olympic-101-L2>1.11 b1 power down

Executing the above command will power down the blade in blade slot 1 of the IRU in rack 001 U position 11.

Default Destination

When the L2 starts, the default destination is set to all racks and all slots. You can determine the default destination by using the destination command:

L2> destination

all racks, all slots L2>

The following command sets the destinations to rack 2 and 3, all slots:

L2> r 2,3 destination

2 default destination(s) set L2>

The following example shows what IRUs are found in the default destination. If you enter a command not understood by the L2, the command is sent to these IRUs.

Note: In the current implementation, if you add an IRU to either rack 2 or 3, it would not be automatically included in the default destination. You would need to reset the default destination.

L2> destination

001c01 (127.0.0.1:0:2)

001c01 (127.0.0.1:0:0) L2>

The following command resets the default destination to all racks and all slots:

L2> destination reset

default destination reset to all racks and slots L2>

Current Destination

The current destination is a range of racks and slots for a given command. For example, the following command sends the command <L1 command> to all IRUs in racks 2, 3, 4, and 7:

007-4857-002
