segment. If multiple 8250 networks need to be monitored simultaneously
then each network requires its own 8250 xMM.
8. The two previous points mean that the more monitoring required on 8250
networks the fewer payload slots are available for media modules.
9. ShuntBus based segments are not manageable by 8250 xMM.
4.6 Overview of Management and Control Commands
Commands used in the 8260 hub can be organized into hierarchical or layer like
structures. When you first log in to the 8260 hub with the
system
user ID,
commands in the first layer will be available. Commands may have various
parameters or options associated with them. For example, in Figure 41, all
commands in the second layer are the available options associated with the
set
command. Default_gateway, ip_address and subnet_mask are the possible
options associated with the
ip
option and the
set
command in the second and
first layers in respectively.

In the remainder of this book, the DMM commands will be covered as we
discuss various components of the 8260.
