OVERVIEW
Two classes of system administration commands are available on the CyberSWITCH: guest
commands and administrator commands. Guest commands provide current operational
information only, and are available to all security levels. Administrator commands allows access to
the complete system command set.
The log-in to the system controls command access. Each access level (guest or administrator) is
protected by a unique log-in password. This capability allows managers to assign different
responsibility levels to their system administrators.
General operation commands immediately follow this discussion. These commands are divided by
functions. Specific feature commands begin on page 530. These commands are arranged
alphabetically. For a tabularized listing of system commands, refer to the Command Table.
Note: When there are a group of related commands, a help screen is available. For example, to
display the help screen for all of the
br
commands, enter
br?
at the system prompt.A
screen will then be displayed that includes the available br commands, the syntax for each
command, and a definition for each command.
ACCESSING ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
The following commands are available for system login:
admin
Logs you into the system and provides access to all system commands. The system will ask you
to enter or set the password for administrator level access. Be careful, passwords are uppercase
and lowercase sensitive.
admin<00><01><02>...<99>
If you have configured multiple administration login names on your off-node server, you must
use one of the configured names to log into the CyberSWITCH. The acceptable names are
admin00 through admin99. Proper login provides you with access to all system commands. The
system will ask you to enter or set the password for administrator level access. Be careful,
passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive. (Note: This command is not available for
local access.)
guest
Logs you into the system and allows the user access to the commands for viewing operational
information only. All other commands for changing information on the system are not
available. The System will ask you to enter or set the password for guest level access. Be careful,
passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive.
exit
Terminates the administration session by logging-out the current administrator. You can start
another session by using one of the two log-in commands outlined above.
