Command Information

Sample platform list

Each software command has its own description in this guide. Each command description begins at the top of a page. A command description begins with these items:

The full command name

Platforms on which this command is valid

■

Under the command name is a list of 3Com switch platforms. The command is valid on every platform that has a check mark (✓) next to it.

✓✓✓✓

9000

✓✓✓✓

9400

✓✓✓✓

3900

✓✓✓✓

9300

✓✓✓✓

A short description of the purpose of the command

■

Some command descriptions begin with a sentence similar to this one:

For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer n switching modules only.

“ where n is either 2 or 3. Because the CoreBuilder 9000 system can house both Layer 2 modules and Layer 3 modules, this sentence alerts you to the fact that this particular command is valid only on Layer 2 modules or Layer 3 modules.

”

The command description continues with one or more of the following sections:

■

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

— This section lists the shortest

number of characters that you can type to issue the command.

■

Important Considerations

— These usage notes identify potential

problems before you use the command.

■

Options

— If the command begins a configuration process or other procedure, this section presents each prompt that you see, its description, the possible values that you can enter, and the default value.

■

Fields

— If the command prompts the system to display information,

this section lists the display parameters and their definitions.

■

Procedure

■

Example

— Numbered steps walk you through complex commands.

— Examples show the interactive display when the system

provides additional useful information.

Before you enter any command, 3Com recommends that you:

Examine the system menu carefully for the full command string:

■

Consult the documentation for the valid minimum abbreviation for

■

the command string.

If you are unfamiliar with a particular system, always enter the entire command, even though the system accepts abbreviated commands. If you abbreviate commands, you may make errors or omissions that have undesirable consequences.

For example, on the CoreBuilder 9000, to list all addresses for a port, you use the enter

■

The Administration Console software is installed at the factory in flash memory on the system processor. Because this software boots automatically from flash memory when you power on your system, the system is immediately ready for use in your network. However, you may need to:

Configure certain parameters before the system can operate

■

effectively in your networking environment.

Connect to the Administration Console, if you have a

DMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

You use the Administration Console software to configure your system parameters (or, on the CoreBuilder 9000, to configure your module parameters) and display statistics and counters.

CoreBuilder 9000 System Management Overview

For more complete network management, you can use an external

application, such as 3Com’s Transcend

Network Control Services tool

suite.

On the CoreBuilder 3500, CoreBuilder 9000, and CoreBuilder 9400, and

on the SuperStack

II Switch 3900 and Switch 9300, you can also configure parameters and view statistics using the Web Management suite of HTML-based applications. See the

Web Management User Guide

for your system for additional information.

The CoreBuilder 9000 comes in a 7-slot, 8-slot, or 16-slot chassis in which you install switch fabric modules and interface modules. Before you begin to manage your CoreBuilder 9000 system, review the management-related information in this section.

The CoreBuilder 9000 system supports the following management interfaces:

EME Management Console

■

Use the EME Management Console to manage EME and Enterprise Management Controller (EMC) functions, such as login table management, IP connectivity, event and trap logs, and software downloads to all modules. The EME Management Console also manages chassis functions, such as system inventory and power management features.

Administration Console

■

Use the Administration Console to manage the CoreBuilder 9000 switch fabric modules and intelligent interface modules. These modules contain an on-board network management agent that allows this direct management.

ATM Local Management Application (LMA)

■

Use the ATM LMA to manage the ATM Enterprise Switch, ATM Switch Fabric Module, and ATM interface modules. These modules contain an on-board network management agent to allow this direct management.

Management and Data Channels

ATM LMA management of ATM switch fabric modules and ATM interface modules is outside of the scope of this guide. To learn about managing the ATM Enterprise Switch and ATM modules using the ATM LMA, see the

CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch

Management Guide.

You cannot manage the EME using the ATM LMA, and you cannot manage ATM Switch Fabric Modules or ATM interface modules using the EME Management Console.

Web Management

■

The Web Management suite of applications are an embedded part of the CoreBuilder 9000 system software image. They include the WebConsole and DeviceView applications. Additional installable applications include online Help. After you have set up your IP address for your system, you can access the Web Management applications directly from your Web browser by entering its IP address.

Management and

Data Channels

See the

Enterprise Switch

Web Management User Guide for the CoreBuilder 9000

for additional information about Web Management.

You manage the EME from a command line interface using EME management commands. You manage the switch fabric modules or interface modules through the Administration Console using module management commands or through the Web Management interface.

The CoreBuilder 9000 system uses separate channels for network traffic and management traffic:

The private management LAN (MLAN) handles management traffic.

■

Management traffic travels to and from the EME, which acts as the single point of contact for all management traffic in the chassis.

Switch fabric module backplane channels handle network traffic. Each

■

interface module has one or two backplane ports that connect to the switch fabric module backplane, which allows network traffic to pass through the CoreBuilder 9000 system.

Figure 1 illustrates the MLAN channel and the switch fabric module backplane channels in the CoreBuilder 9000 16-slot chassis.

CoreBuilder 9000 Management Features

EME Overview

You can manage the CoreBuilder 9000 system through a terminal interface, through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and through the 3Com Transcend

Network Control Services. The EME is the primary communication mechanism into the chassis and modules. You manage other intelligent modules within the chassis through the EME.

The EME is an SNMP-based network management module that manages and controls the 3Com CoreBuilder 9000 chassis and its modules. The EME has the following features:

■

Chassis Management Architecture

— Provides a cost-efficient

management architecture that:

Provides a central point of contact for chassis management

■

Provides all controller functions, as well as EME functions

■

Intelligent Power Management

— Manages power use in the

chassis by:

Preventing newly installed modules from receiving power when

■

there is not enough power available

Allowing you to prioritize the order in which modules power off (if

■

there is insufficient power available)

Allowing you to implement fault-tolerant power, which allows the

■

chassis to reserve some of its power capacity to protect against a power supply failure

In the chassis:

The EME exchanges information with all modules through the MLAN.

■

Interface modules pass data through the switch fabric module.

■

On modules that include their own agent, the EME “connects” to that

■

module and then you can use the Administration Console management interface to manage that module.

Depending on which system you are managing, you access the Administration Console in either two steps (for the CoreBuilder 9000) or one step (for all other systems). See “Accessing Your System” later in this section for details.

For all systems, the Administration Console supports three password levels, allowing you to provide different levels of access for a range of users.

Your access level determines which types of menu commands you can use, as described in Table 5.

DMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

Accessing Your

System

You access the Administration Console for your system in one of two ways:

■

For all systems except the CoreBuilder 9000

Administration Console for the first time at the

— Access the

Administer

level and

press Return at the password prompt (the initial password is null).

Subsequently, every time that you access the Administration Console, it prompts you for an access level and password, as shown here:

Select access level (read, write, administer): Password:

The passwords are stored in nonvolatile (NV) memory. You must enter the password correctly before you can continue.

■

For the CoreBuilder 9000

— On this system, the Enterprise Management Engine (EME) controls passwords and access levels to manage the chassis and its installed modules.

To access a module in a CoreBuilder 9000 system, follow these steps:

Access the module that you want to manage using the EME

connect

command.

Example: To connect to a module in slot 10, subslot 1, enter:

connec t 10. 1

All modules use subslot 1.

The system displays a prompt similar to the following:

CB9000@slot10.1 [20-E/FEN-TX-L2]

When you have connected to a module, you manage the module from the Administration Console with the same level of access that you have on the EME. For example, if you have logged in to the EME with

administer

privileges, you also have

administer

privileges for the module

to which you are connected.

For additional information about the EME, see the

Enterprise Switch Getting Started Guide Enterprise Management Engine User Guide.

and the

CoreBuilder 9000

Access Examples

The examples in this section show how the top-level menu structure of the Administration Console changes. The menus that you see in the Administration Console vary depending on:

Which 3Com system you are viewing (as described in “Accessing Your

■

System” earlier in this chapter).

Your level of access.

■

The optional interface modules, switch fabric modules, and other

■

hardware options that you configure into your system. For example, you see the

menu only if you have installed the FDDI module on

fddi

your CoreBuilder 3500 system.

These examples show the CoreBuilder 3500 menus. Menus for other platforms may differ. See the

Command Quick Reference

for your system

for the list of commands on your system.

Administer Access Example

Selec t a me nu op tion:

When you access the Administration Console, the top-level menu appears. You perform administrative tasks by selecting options from this menu and its submenus. A brief description accompanies each option in the display. The commands that you can use depend on the system that you have, your level of access, and the types of modules and other hardware options that are configured for your system. The “Menu Structure” diagrams at the beginning of most chapters show the complete list of commands for all systems. See the checklist at the beginning of each command description in each chapter for whether your system supports the command.

The following example shows the CoreBuilder 9000 top-level menu when a Layer 2 switching module is installed:

DMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

Selecting Menu

Options

To select a menu option, at the prompt enter the menu option or enough of the name to uniquely identify it within the particular menu. Example: to access the

module

menu from the top level of the Administration

Console on a module in the CoreBuilder 9000, enter:

Select a menu option: module

Menu options are not case sensitive.

When you enter a menu option or command correctly, either you move to the next menu in the hierarchy, or the Administration Console displays information (a prompt or a screen display) for the option that you entered.

If you enter the menu option incorrectly, a message indicates that your entry is not valid or is ambiguous. Reenter the option from the point at which it became incorrect or expand a truncated command until it becomes unambiguous.

When a new menu appears, the selection prompt (with its choices in parentheses) changes to reflect your progression through the menus.

Example: If you enter at the

module

Select a menu option (bridge/agingTime):

prompt, the prompt changes to reflect the current level:

bridge

at the top-level menu and then

agingTime

Entering a Command String

After you become familiar with the menu structure, you can enter a string of menu options or commands to move immediately to a task. Example: The command string for setting the path cost for a port on a module looks like this:

Select a menu option: bridge port stpCost

Entering Values

Entering Abbreviated Commands

You can abbreviate command strings by typing only as much of the command as is necessary to make it unique:

Select a menu option: b po stpc

When you correctly enter either a full or an abbreviated command string, you move to the last menu level or option that is specified in the string. Information that is relevant to that option appears as a menu, a prompt, or a display.

If you enter a command string incorrectly, the Administration Console displays a message indicating that your entry was not valid or was ambiguous. Reenter the command from the point at which it became incorrect, or expand a truncated command until it becomes unambiguous.

Entering Values

When you reach the level at which you perform a task, the Administration Console prompts you for a value. The prompt usually shows all valid values (if applicable) and typically suggests a default value. The default may be the factory default value or the current value that you have defined for that parameter.

The Administration Console displays the valid values in parentheses and the default or current value in brackets. For example:

Enter a new value (disabled,enabled) [enabled]:

To accept the default or current value, press Enter.

Entering Values in Command Strings

A command string can also contain the value of a command parameter. If you enter a value at the end of a command string, the Administration Console executes the task and the previous menu appears on the screen.

For example, to set the path cost to the root through a port, from the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

bridge port stpcost 20

b po stpc 20

DMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

Navigating

Through the Menus

The Administration Console provides several shortcuts:

■

Press Esc (the Escape key)

— To move quickly to the top-level menu without backtracking through each intermediate menu. The top-level menu immediately appears.

■

q —

Enter

To move up through the hierarchy, that is, to move to the menu

■

that is one level higher in the hierarchy

To cancel an operation that is currently in progress. The previous

■

menu appears.

You can configure up to five IP addresses or five subnetwork addresses

as trusted IP clients.

An IP address or subnetwork address can be used to access the system

■

only if it is on the trusted IP client list.

Use the subnet mask to allow trusted access to all addresses on a

■

particular subnetwork. Examples: The IP address 158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 allows trusted access to all addresses on the 158.99.112 subnetwork. The IP address

158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 allows access only by the single IP address 158.99.112.219.

The trusted IP client information is retained after a system reboot; that

■

is, it is saved in nvData.

Subnet mask

32-bit number that uses the same format and representation as an IP address. The subnet mask determines which bits in the IP address are interpreted as the network number, the subnet number, and the host number. Each IP address bit that corresponds to a 1 in the subnet mask is in the network/subnet part of the address. Each IP address bit that corresponds to a 0 is in the host part of the IP address.

the requirements of your TFTP or FTP implementation.

Some TFTP implementations require that you store the file in the same

directory in which the TFTP daemon (server) is running on the remote host.

Because TFTP provides no user authentication, give the file

you must enter a login name and password if you are sending a file to an FTP server.

TFTP Procedure

Create an empty file with open write permissions on the host to store the

system display images.

From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system snapshot save

Enter the IP address of the host on which you want to save the display

images.

If your TFTP implementation requires a full path name, enter the full path

of the file that is designated to contain the display images. (Some implementations allow you to specify only the file name and the system uses the default TFTP directory.)

While the system sends the files to the host, it displays the name of each display image that it transfers. When the transmission is complete, the system displays a message that the transfer is complete and displays the file name and the name of the host on which it stored the file.

FTP Procedure (3500 Only)

Create an empty file with open write permissions on the host to store the system display images.

From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

Important Considerations

The system transmits characters that you have entered as output on

■

the modem port. The system echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current Console session. Thus, the Console appears to be directly connected to the external modem.

You may need to change the baud of the modem to match that of

■

your modem port.

Procedure

From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system serialPort configModem

You can now enter commands that support the appropriate parameters for your network. All characters that you enter are transmitted to the modem port until you type the escape sequence in step 2.

When the modem is configured, enter the escape sequence
