Introducing the Commands
This chapter introduces the commands and gives a summary of commands available.
37.1 Overview
In addition to the web configurator, you can use commands to configure the OLT. Use
commands for advanced OLT diagnosis and troubleshooting. If you have problems with your
OLT, customer support may request that you issue some of these commands to assist them in
troubleshooting.
"
See the web configurator parts of this User’s Guide for background information
on features configurable by the web configurator.
37.1.1 Configuration File
When you configure the OLT using either the CLI or web configurator, the settings are saved
as a series of commands in a configuration file on the OLT. You can perform the following
with a configuration file:
• Back up OLT configuration once the OLT is set up to work in your network.
• Restore OLT configuration.
• Use the same configuration file to set all OLTs in your network to the same settings.
"
You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor. Make sure you use
valid commands. The OLT rejects configuration files with invalid or incomplete
commands.
37.2 Accessing the CLI
You can use a direct console connection or Telnet to access the CLI on the OLT.
"
The OLT automatically logs you out of the management interface after five
minutes of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again.
