Command Shell Overview
The NIC comes with an in-depth command shell which allows you to
manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and models. Additionally, it
provides you with monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
Access Methods
There are many ways this command shell can be accessed:
• built-in HTML forms
• a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the NIC
• a single remote shell command (i.e., rsh, rcmd, remsh) from a TCP/IP
host
Main Command Shell Prefixes
All configurable commands start with either store or set. Troubleshooting
commands usually start with
debug, and view commands start with list.
If the
store prefix is used, the NIC must be repowered for the changes to
take effect. Since
store affects flash memory settings only, the print server
must reset and read the new settings now in flash memory.
If the
set prefix is used, a save command must also be executed so that the
new settings are retained after power cycles. Since
set only affects the
settings in memory, they will be lost after a power cycle unless they are saved
to flash memory.
