Command Shell Overview

The NIC comes with an in-depth command shell which allows you to manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and models. Additionally, it provides you with monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

Access Methods

There are many ways this command shell can be accessed:

•built-in HTML forms

•a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the NIC

•a single remote shell command (i.e., rsh, rcmd, remsh) from a TCP/IP host

Main Command Shell Prefixes

All configurable commands start with either store or set. Troubleshooting commands usually start with debug, and view commands start with list.

If the store prefix is used, the NIC must be repowered for the changes to take effect. Since store affects flash memory settings only, the print server must reset and read the new settings now in flash memory.

If the set prefix is used, a save command must also be executed so that the new settings are retained after power cycles. Since set only affects the settings in memory, they will be lost after a power cycle unless they are saved to flash memory.
