Command Reference Change Local Switch
2-30
Secondary
Configures a loadhost to be used when the primary loadhost is unavailable.
IPaddress
Specify a host using standard numeric format—host names cannot be resolved
via a nameserver. Specifying an IP address of 0.0.0.0 removes the previously-
defined loadhost.
2.30 Change Local Switch
Defines a key that will allow you to access local mode from within a session. The Local Switch key
functions the same as the Break key. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with MSS line editing or
the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream, so while it won’t
interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would have on local
programs.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Parameters
Port
MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.
Note: In the absence of the PortList parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s
current port only.
PortList
Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with
integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or
dashes (for ranges).
character
Specify a character to serve as the switch key. To specify a control character,
use escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02) would be
specified as \02.
None
Disables the Local Switch key.
Defaults No switch
