Command Line Interface

TTo locate a parameter name by viewing the source code:

1.Find the parameter in the Integrated Web Server (IWS) page.

2.Then locate the parameter name by viewing the source code of the page in an editor or a MIB browser.

TTo verify the definition/usage of the parameter:

1.Locate the parameter name using one of the methods described above.

2.Verify the definition and usage of the parameter by examining the MIB file with either a standard MIB browser or a text editor.

Using a MIB Browser

The easiest way to visualize VBrick's control structure is to understand the relationship between the IWS and the MIB. To get started, open the vbrick_box2.mib file in an editor or a MIB browser. For the most part, parameters are grouped according to where they appear on the Integrated Web Server pages. Once you find the parameter, other related parameters are usually contained in the same group. Each of the top-level groups comprises a page in IWS. Where there are dual encoders or dual decoders, the entries are repeated for Slot1 and Slot2. The following screenshot shows a typical MIB browser. Note that valid values for the selected parameter are shown next to the Syntax column in the lower left area of the window.

Setting VBrick Parameters

Logging In

The first step is to connect to the VBrick appliance using whatever method is appropriate at your site (e.g. Telnet, HyperTerminal, etc.). When logging in, you are prompted for a login name and password. These credentials give you access to the VBrick and are typically provided by an administrator. When the VBrick> prompt is displayed, you are successfully
