Two classes of system administration commands are available on the SmartSwitch Remote Access
Module: guest commands and administrator commands. Guest commands provide current
operational information only, and are available to all security levels. Administrator commands
allows access to the complete system command set.
You need an active administration session to issue these commands. Instructions for establishing
an administration session are provided in
Accessing the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module
.
The log-in to the system controls command access. Each access level (guest or administrator) is
protected by a unique log-in password. This capability allows managers to assign different
responsibility levels to their system administrators.
General operation commands immediately follow this discussion. These commands are divided by
functions. Specific feature commands begin on
page 209
. These commands are arranged
alphabetically. For a tabularized listing of system commands, refer to the
Command Table
.
Note:
When there are a group of related commands, a help screen is available. For example, to
display the help screen for all of the
br
commands, enter
br?
at the system prompt.A
screen will then be displayed that includes the available br commands, the syntax for each
command, and a definition for each command.
