Description of Commands
This section describes the commands used by the DECrepeater 90FA. The
examples used to explain the commands are based on the configuration shown in
Figure 4–1, Sample Configuration.
DEFINE BRIDGE HUB_MANAGEMENT DISABLE
SET BRIDGE HUB_MANAGEMENT DISABLE
Disables all repeater management through the DECbridge 90 unit for
DECrepeater 90FA units in the DEChub 90 backplane. When disabled, you
receive an error message with the SHOW REPEATER, SET PORT, or SHOW
PORT commands on repeater ports. You do not receive port number information
from the SHOW ADDRESS command.
DEFINE BRIDGE HUB_MANAGEMENT ENABLE
SET BRIDGE HUB_MANAGEMENT ENABLE
Reverses the affect of the SET or DEFINE BRIDGE HUB_MANAGEMENT
DISABLE commands.
DEFINE BRIDGE PASSWORD password string
Lets you change the password string. You are prompted twice for a new password.
The password may be a maximum of 16 characters and does not appear on the
screen. The system saves the new password. There is no corresponding SET
command because the DEFINE BRIDGE PASSWORD takes effect immediately.
The MOP option provides a mechanism for setting and checking passwords.
This mechanism is intended to provide protection against accidental tampering
with parameters and is not intended as a security feature. No attempt is made
to prevent compromise of the password by malicious users. The DECbridge 90
should not be used in applications that depend on the prevention of any
unauthorized modifications to the parameters.
LIST BRIDGE
Displays the nonvolatile bridge-wide parameters.
