I.11.4. Make outbound command session
start command session <IPAddr> [port=<unsignedShort>] [table=<routetable>]
This allows a reverse telnet connection to be made. A TCP connection is made to the IP address (and port)
where a user can login. This can be useful where a firewall policy prevents incoming access to allow someone
to have access from outside, e.g. the FireBrick support team.
I.11.5. Show command sessions
show command sessions
The FB2700 can have multiple telnet connections at the same time. This lists all of the current connections.
I.11.6. Kill command session
kill command session <IPAddr>
You can kill a command session by IP address. This is useful if you know you have left a telnet connected
from somewhere else. Telnet sessions usually have a timeout, but this can be overridden in the configuration
for each user.
I.11.7. Flash memory list
show flash contents
Lists the content of flash memory - this includes various files such as software releases, configuration, and
so on. Multiple copies are usually stored allowing you to delete a later version if needed, and roll-back to an
older version.
I.11.8. Delete block from flash
delete config <unsignedInt> [confirm=<string>]
delete data <unsignedInt> [confirm=<string>]
delete image <unsignedInt> [confirm=<string>]
Delete a block from flash memory. This cannot be undone. You have to specify the correct type of block, and
specify confirm=yes for the command to work.
I.11.9. Boot log
show boot log [<unsignedInt>]
Show log of recent boots. You can specify the number of bytes of recent log to show.
I.11.10. Flash log
show flash log [<unsignedInt>]
The logging system can log to flash for a permanent record. This is done automatically for some system events
and when booting. You can specify the number of bytes of recent log to show..
