SP Switch Router Adapter card maint commands
SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2 October 22, 1999 3-15
SP Switch Router Adapter card maint commands
Each type of media card has a set of maintenance or maint commands. Some of the
commands operate on most types of media cards, others are media-specific.
A small set of the maint commands provide card-specific status information. The majority of
maint commands are useful only to system developers. You can use the maint commands
listed below at any time, they do not interrupt or affect media card operations.
Several maint commands that return useful feedback on card status useful to administrators
and support staff are:
– maint 3, Display Configuration and Status
– maint 4, Display Media Statistics
– maint 5, Display SWITCH Statistics
– maint 6, Display Combus Statistics
– maint 189 displays the ARP table for the specified interface’s IP address
The SP Switch Router Adapter card has two processors, one on the receive side, one on the
transmit side. One set of maint commands returns developer-level information and
information specific to the receive side. A small set of maint commands returns
developer-level information specific to the transmit side. Commands 81–89 are reserved
because certain of their effects upon the card can be destructive.
You must start the grrmb program before you can enter a maint command.
Preparing to use maint commands
First, start the grrmb program to invoke the GR 66> prompt. From the UNIX shell enter:
# grrmb
The new prompt appears:
GR 66>
Use the port command to change the prompt number to the slot occupied by the SP Switch
Router Adapter media card. For example, if the card is in slot 7, enter:
GR 66> port 7
This message is returned along with the changed prompt:
Current port card is 07
GR 07>
To exit the grrmb program, enter quit:
GR 07> quit
#
