Table B-1. Command-Line Interface

Command

Purpose

change hub cascade [enable|disable]

Sets port configuration to one ten-port hub (enable, the default) or two five-port hubs.

change hub interval intervalvalue

Changes interval that is examined for errors; range 1 to 15, default 10.

change hub port [portnum|all] bypass [enable|disable]

Causes (enable, the default) the specified port(s) to be always bypassed; portnum can be one or more port numbers separated by commas or spaces, or a range (such as 1-4).

change hub port [portnum|all] lipf8 [enable|disable]

Enables (default) or disables automatic bypass when the port generates a LIP F8 error sequence.

change hub threshold thresholdvalue

Changes error threshold for automatically bypassing a port; range 1 to 15, default 7.

change port type [ansi|softcopy]

Specifies type of terminal connected to the hub: ANSI-compatible or generic video display terminal.

change server gateway gatewayipaddress

Identifies the gateway node address, which provides access to the router and the rest of the network segment. It must be entered in decimal dot notation; for example, 123.456.78.90.

change server ip ipaddress

Assigns the IP address, which must be entered in decimal dot notation; for example, 123.456.78.90.

change server login password

Changes the default password (access) for remote Telnet and rcf access.

change server privilege password

Changes the default administrator password (system).

change server subnet subnetmask

Defines the subnet mask, which must be entered in decimal dot notation; for example, 255.0.0.0.

change service http connections [enabled|disabled]

Allows or prevents connection to the hub through an Internet browser.

change service telnet connections [enabled|disabled]

Allows or prevents connection to the hub through Telnet.

define server authorize protocol tcp [enable|disable]

Enables (default) or disables TCP on the hub manager; disabling TCP allows only local communication for hub management.

define server bootp n m [temp|permanent]

Sets number of times BootP attempts IP address acquisition before attempting DHCP.

n is the number of broadcast requests if IP address is not known; range 0 (default) to 7, to prevent an IP address being automatically assigned.

m is the number of broadcast attempts if digital hub IP address is known; default is 0.

temp enters the response in volatile memory only, forcing automatic IP address assignment every time the hub is rebooted; permanent is the default.

define server dhcp n m [temp|permanent]

Sets number of times DHCP attempts IP address acquisition before attempting RARP; options are the same as for define server bootp

define server rarp n m [temp]|permanent]

Sets number of times RARP attempts IP address acquisition; options are the same as for define server bootp.

define server name newname

Replaces default hub manager name; range is 1 to 47 alphanumeric characters. The default name is DHMxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the MAC address without the dashes.

init

Reboots the hub; breaks Telnet connection.

logout

Terminates the local or remote connection to the hub.

ping ipaddress

Tests if a local or remote IP address exists and is responding.

show hub ports

show server config

Displays configuration for hub and hub manager; privileged status not required.

show server network
