IBM 8260 Switch User Manual


 
In this example, 9.67.46.3 is the address of the TCP/IP station
attached to the DMM port.
To use SLIP, you must also perform the following tasks:
1. Assign an IP address to DMM for communication over the SLIP
interface. The following example defines 9.67.46.1 as the address
used by DMM over the SLIP interface:
8260> set ip ip_address 9.67.46.1 slip
2. Assign an IP subnet mask to be used by DMM for communication
over the SLIP interface. The following example defines
255.255.255.240 as the subnet mask used by DMM over the SLIP
interface:
8260> set ip ip_address ff.ff.ff.f0 slip
3. Define the default gateway to be used by DMM for
communication over the SLIP interface. The following example
defines 9.67.46.2 as the default gateway used by DMM over the
SLIP interface.
8260> set ip default_gateway 9.67.46.2 slip
An example of using the SLIP setting is when the workstation
attached to the DMM port is a TCP/IP station running a network
management application which allows you to manage DMM using
SNMP.
Terminal_type
This command allows you to set the terminal type which will be used by
DMM for establishing Telnet sessions. An example of this command is
as follows:
8260> set terminal console terminal_type vt100
The terminal type set by this command is sent by DMM to the remote
device when you establish a Telnet session from DMM to the remote
device. This enables the remote device to send the proper control
sequence for communication with DMM.
Hangup
This command allows you to configure DMM to automatically hang up
the modem (drop DTR) once you log out of the DMM. To do so, you must
issue the following command:
8260> set terminal console hangup enable
The default is
disable
which means the modem will not hangup and an
unauthorized user may pick up the last login session.
Note: You can specify the same parameters for the auxiliary port. All you
need to do is replace
console
with
auxiliary
in the example commands given
above.
Set Terminal Prompt
This command enables you to customize the prompt displayed by DMM
when you are connected to that DMM. An example of this command is as
follows:
8260> set terminal prompt 8260A>
