APPENDIX A: COMMANDS - ExaLINK user guide

Commands can be sent to the ExaLINK using either the web interface or the command line interface. Both are described below.

Web interface

1. On the ExaLINK main menu, click Advanced. Figure 17 shows the window that will appear.

2. A list of available commands based on the current privilege level can be displayed by clicking help. Type in the desired command into the Command text box and click Execute. The command will be executed and the output will be displayed in the top of the page.

The commands available through Advanced operate in the same manner as those available through the command-line interface (see next section).

Head Ofce:

The table below lists the commands that can be used in the command-line interface. We use the following conventions:

• Angled brackets (e.g.<line>) indicates a parameter that must be entered.

• Square brackets (e.g. [prompt]) indicates an optional parameter.

Many commands enable you to specify parameters without waiting to be prompted in a subsequent step.

Multiple commands can be given on a single command line separated by a semi-colon, for example:

enable; set port redirect 26 27; set port redirect 27 26;

disable

Clears the terminal window.

Clears all statistics.

Clears the start clear startup-cong up-cong (see the

“copy” command below). The ExaLINK resets to the factory default conguration..

Copies the contents of the running-cong le to the startup-cong le.

You can view the contents of these les using “show running-cong” or “show startup-cong”.

Activates privileged mode. Privileged mode must be enabled to be able to make changes to software conguration of the ExaLINK.

Example:

“enable” then follow prompts

Exits privileged mode. Privileged mode must be enabled to make changes to software conguration of the ExaLINK.

Caution: this will immediately change the conguration of the ExaLINK.

Copies the contents of the startup-cong le to the running-cong le.

You can view the contents of these les using “show running-cong” or “show startup-cong”.

Command Description

Head Ofce:

Example:

“ping 10.10.10.2”

Changes the management port IP address of the ExaLINK to a DHCP-allocated IP address

Changes the management port IP address to a static IP address. The IP address must be specied. To specify the optional gateway address a netmask must also be specied.

Examples:

“set management address static 192.168.0.100”

“set management address static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.240 192.168.0.5”

Head Ofce:

set port speed <port range> <port speed>

set telnet enable set port redirect

Disables a port or set of ports. Specify the port(s), num-bered 1 to 50.

Example:

“set port disable 10-20,24”, to disable ports 10 to 20 and port 24.

Sets a description for a port.

For example:

“set port description port 2 ‘Connection to backup server eth0’”

Sets an alias for a port, which can then (optionally) be used to reference the port instead of its number. Max 12 characters.

For example:

“set port alias 25 md_input”

“show port md_input”

Enables a port or set of ports.

Examples:

“set port enable 22,10-20,3-5,1”, to enable ports 1, 3 to 5, 10 to 20 and 22.

“set port enable *”, to enable all ports.

Assigns one or more ports to a group. This group name can then be used for other commands. For example:

“set port group md_listeners 5,6,7,8”

“set port redirect 1 md_listeners”

Sets the refresh interval for system statistics, in seconds.

Example:

“set stat 20”

Disables remote telnet communications to the ExaLINK.

Sets the speed of a range of ports, where speed is either 1000 or 10000.

Example:

Enables remote telnet communications to the ExaLINK.

Assigns a connection between ports.

Examples:

“set port redirect 2 7,12-49”, to replicate data coming into port 2 and output that replicated data on ports 7 and 12-49.

“set port redirect 18 31; set port redirect 31 18”, to create a bi-directional connection between port 18 and port 31.
