The Network Tools functions are performed using a series of commands. Entering commands
in Network Tools involves typing the command to be executed at the Network Tools prompt,
adding any desired or required extensions, and pressing ENTER.
There are two categories of commands in the command set.
• Built-in Commands – Allow the user to access and manage network devices. The
commands are arp, bridge, defroute, netstat, ping, reset, show, traceroute and
soft_reset.
• Special Commands – Allow the user to exit from Network Tools. The commands are done,
exit, and quit.
NOTE
Some Network Tools commands, although executable, will not return any
information because they do not apply to ATM technology.
