Chapter 7: Console Commands
SET AUTHENTICATIONTRAP ON[OFF]
GET AUTHENTICATIONTRAP
Set or display the current state of authentication error traps. Authentication traps will be generated when this parameter is set to
ON, and not when OFF. Note that this setting only affects the trap generation, and not how the network module handles an
authentication failure. An authentication failure generally means that an SNMP access was attempted with an incorrect communi-
ty name. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.
SET ALERTTYPE [TRAP/SYSLOG]
GET ALERTTYPE
Set or display the type of alert messages sent by the A/B Switch when certain events such as a change in switch state occur. The
A/B Switch can be configured to issue either syslog messages, or SNMP traps.
NOTE: At least one IP address must be entered using the “SET MANAGER N X.X.X.X” command before either syslog messages or
traps will be issued. See Section 9 for a list of the traps supported by the A/B Switch, and see section 10 for a list of the
supported syslog messages.
SET ADMINIP N X.X.X.X
Set administrator N (1-8) IP address. Up to 8 different administrator IP addresses can be entered. To remove an entry from the list,
set the IP address to 0.0.0.0. If all 8 ADMIN IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 (no ADMIN IP addresses are configured) the A/B Switch will
allow access via the Ethernet interface from any IP address, subject to the existing password and enable flags for each interface. If
one or more ADMIN IP addresses are non-zero, the A/B Switch will only process messages received from the configured (non-
zero) ADMIN IP addresses. All other messages will be ignored. This ADMIN IP address filtering feature applies to the telnet, web
browser and SNMP Ethernet interfaces and to the PING reply functions. The ADMIN IP address filtering does not affect outgoing
PING and ARP messages so the A/B Switch is still able to monitor any IP address for the “auto-switch” features. The administrator
IP addresses can be different than the manager IP addresses. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE operation is
performed.
GET ADMINIP N
Display the IP address of administrator N (1-8). If no value is entered for “N”, then all administrator IP addresses will be displayed.
ADMIN IP Addresses:
1: 192.168.1.113
2: 192.168.1.115
3: 192.168.1.149
SET MANAGER N X.X.X.X
Set SNMP manager N (1-16) IP address. Up to 16 SNMP MANAGER IP addresses can be entered for destinations of trap messages.
Trap messages will be sent to all enabled MANAGER IP addresses. To remove an entry from the list, set the IP address to 0.0.0.0.
Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.
SNMP Manager Table:
1: 192.168.1.113
2: 192.168.1.115
