MAINTAIN
Use the MAINTAIN command to enter maintenance mode. Certain inventory
related commands are available only from maintenance mode. Maintenance
mode allows you to enter information that is written permanently in a module’s
EEPROM. Maintenance mode gives you access to the BOOT, DOWNLOAD, SET
INVENTORY POWER, and SHOW INVENTORY POWER commands. You must
SAVE or REVERT all changes before entering maintenance mode.
Only logins with super-user access can enter maintenance mode.
You cannot enter the MAINTAIN command if you are connected to a remote
DMM through the TELNET command. Enter the BOOT command to exit
maintenance mode.
The DMM does not track network statistics when in maintenance mode.
