Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes (see

To enter Monitor Mode locally, follow the same principles used in setting the serial
configuration parameters:
1. To enter Monitor Mode with network connections, type

or
zzz
(not three x
keys as you did before).
OR
2. To enter Monitor Mode without network connections, type
xx2
or
yyy
.
A
0>
prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Via the Network
To enter Monitor Mode using a Telnet connection:
1. First establish a Telnet session. The following message displays:
Figure 5-1. Entering Monitor Mode Via the Network
2. Type

(upper case).
A
0>
prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Monitor Mode Commands
The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an IP
address as an optional parameter (x.x.x.x). If the IP address is given, the command is
applied to another unit with that IP address. If no IP address is given, the command is
executed locally.
Note:
All commands must be given in capital letters, with blank spaces
between the parameters.
