CHAPTER 5
NETWORK TOOLS
This chapter introduces the “cdp” command and shows how it affects the
Network Tools Help screen. The cdp command is an addition to the
built-in commands listed in your SmartSwitch user’s guide.
5.1 NETWORK TOOLS
The Network Tools function resides on the platform firmware and allows
the user to access and manage network devices. Figure 5-1 shows the
updated Network Tools Help screen.
To access the Network Tools screen, access Local Management, then use
the arrow keys to highlight the NETWORK TOOLS menu item in the
Module Menu screen and press ENTER. The Network Tools screen
displays.
TIP
Type help at the prompt to list all the commands that are
available for the device in the current operational mode. A
command used incorrectly (wrong syntax) will prompt a display
of the correct usage. Use lower case characters when entering
commands in Network Tools.
