Alteon OS Command Reference

Resetting the Switch

You can reset the switch to make your software image file and configuration block changes occur.

NOTE – Resetting the switch causes the Spanning Tree Group to restart. This process can be lengthy, depending on the topology of your network.

NOTE – Resetting the switch causes the date and time to revert to default values. Use /cfg/sys/date and /cfg/sys/time to reenter the current date and time.

To reset the switch, at the Boot Options# prompt, enter:

>> Boot Options# reset

You are prompted to confirm your request.

Accessing the ISCLI

The default command-line interface for the GbESM is the Alteon OS CLI. To access the ISCLI, enter the following command and reset the GbESM:

Main# boot/mode iscli

To access the Alteon OS CLI, enter the following command from the ISCLI and reload the GbESM:

Router(config)# boot cli-mode aos

Users can select the CLI mode upon login, if the /boot/prompt command is enabled. Only an administrator connected through the console port can view and enable /boot/prompt. When /boot/prompt is enabled, the first user to log in can select the CLI mode. Subse- quent users must use the selected CLI mode, until all users have logged out.
