Chapter 12 AppleTalk
A-190
Book A
The CLI provides two groups of commands: user and superuser. You
administer the RA 6300 using the superuser commands.
Table A-20 lists
the CLI commands for use with AppleTalk; the following subsections
describe them (Using the CLI Commands on page C-111 describes all
CLI commands).
Table A-20. CLI AppleTalk Commands
Command Syntax
You can shorten any CLI command or host name to the minimum number
of letters that make the name unique. This is referred to as minimum
uniqueness. If you do not want the RA 6300 to interpret a host name using
minimum uniqueness, enclose the name in double quotes (""). For
example, entering hosts “new” prevents ambiguities between hosts
newark and new. You can enter commands and host names in all lower
case, all upper case, or a combination of both. The RA 6300 performs
any necessary case conversion.
Command Description
arap Converts a CLI line into an ARA connection. When the port
is reset, it reverts to its original mode. After entering the
command, the RA 6300 prompts: Annex switching line to
ARAP.
The arap command does not apply to VCLI connections.
arp This superuser command displays ARP cache on the
RA 6300.
netstat Displays information about AppleTalk interfaces.
ping This superuser command generates AppleTalk Echo Packets
(AEP).
stats Displays AppleTalk information.
who Displays a line’s type as ARA.
