3 - 2 ONline Ethernet Bridge Module Installation and Operation Guide
Using Bridge Management
This section explains how to access Bridge Management, enter and edit
commands, get help, view, modify, and save parameters. This section also
describes how to display status information about your network and your
Bridge Module.
Note: Bridging software enables you to execute Management
commands regardless of bridging activity. Therefore,
bridging performance will be affected for the duration of
the command execution.
Connecting to the Management Interface
Refer to the section titled “Connecting a Terminal” in Chapter 2 for
instructions on connecting your terminal to the Management Interface
(RS-232 port).
Entering and Editing Commands
You manage the Bridge Module by entering commands at the
management prompt. The default management prompt is “OEBM>," but
can be customized. Use the keys described in Table 3-1 when entering
commands on the command line.
Caution: If the management prompt appears as “>>," it means
that the current Flash EPROM is faulty and that the
system is running off the Boot PROM (a subset of the
operational code). Type the HELP command for
information on the V1.3 command set. This command
set will keep your bridge operational, but with reduced
capabilities.
