5.54 Vars Command

Protocol Version: 2.3

Display all system configuration variables.  Useful in serial terminal or telnet sessions to view all configuration 
values.

Command

Description

Vars

Display all system configuration parameters.  Note that variables 
consisting of JSON data simply show the string JSON, to keep the 
output concise.  The output consists of one line per variable, with the 
variable name followed by an equals '=' and then the value (not 
quoted).

Examples

>Vars

DefaultProfile=1 
DHCP=1 

DNSPri=0.0.0.0 
DNSSec=0.0.0.0 

Firmware=1.5.1 
Gateway=192.168.2.1

The example above shows a typical output of the Vars command for an MSC-GCP2U32 LCD panel.

5.55 W Command

Routers and MSC-GCP2U32 only
NOTE:

 On the MSC-GCP2U32 this command executes within the context of the current matrix profile selected

with the 

Profile Command

.

Write current matrix routing state to a preset.  Recalling the preset later will restore the routing matrix to the 
same state.  This command modifies preset data which persists through power cycles.
