Introduction to the Model 5390 Server
Model 5390 Capabilities
Devices attached to the Model 5390 server can easily access, or be accessed by the network. The
Model 5390 Annex software provides network management tools and routing capabilities for
managing the connections between these devices. The Annex software can be transparent to a UNIX
host and to the application running on that host. This transparency allows devices attached to the
Model 5390 server to look as if they are directly connected to the UNIX host.
Network Administrator (na) Utility
The network administrator (na) utility is a host-based UNIX utility. It provides commands for
displaying and modifying operating characteristics of the Model 5390 server and its ports. The na
commands allow you to boot, to produce an up-line dump before a boot, and to broadcast
administrative messages to ports on the Model 5390 server.
Command Line Interpreter (CLI)
The Command Line Interpreter (CLI) is the Model 5390’s command interface. The CLI commands
allow users to connect to hosts, to move back and forth between established sessions, and to display
and change port characteristics. Users can also display known hosts, as well as statistics for the
Model 5390 server and the network. The CLI also provides superuser commands for network
administration and management.
The CLI admin command, accessed as a superuser on a CLI connection, is a local (resides in the
Model 5390 server) substitute for the host-resident na command. The admin command set provides
a subset of the host-resident na commands.
