This appendix summarizes commands in the command-line interface.
Table B-1 lists commands alphabetically. All commands require privileged status unless noted otherwise.
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 | Displays configuration parameters for the hub; privileged status not required. |
show hub ports | Displays status information for all hub ports; privileged status not required. |
show server | Displays configuration parameters for hub manager; privileged status not required. |
show server config | Displays configuration for hub and hub manager; privileged status not required. |
show server network | Displays configuration parameters for the hub manager; privileged status not required. |
show server tcp | Displays TCP/IP settings for the hub manager. |
zero all | Reset counters for error count and down count in show hub ports output. |
