1 INTRODUCTION

This reference manual describes the console commands for the SmartCell 6A000 and SmartCell ZX-250 ATM switches. The two switches share a common console interface and are referred to in this manual as the SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250.

Audience and Scope

The manual is intended for network administrators and o thers responsible for maintaining the SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250. You do not need to read the manual f rom start to fini sh. You can use it to study the console commands you use.

Definitions

The manual is organized alphabetically by switch attribute.

• The definition of a switch attribute is a function that manipulates the switch in a specific way. For

example, buselan.

• The definition of an operator is the active verb that makes the switch attribute perform a specific

task. For example, show.

• The definition of a command is the combination of an operator plus a switch attribute. For exam ple,

show buselan.

Content

• Chapter 2, "SmartCell 6A0 00/ZX-250 Command s," gives definitio ns, descriptions, and examples of

all available commands on the SmartCell 6A000 and SmartCell ZX-250 switches.

• Chapter 3, “Boot Load Commands” gives definitions, descriptions, and examples of the low-level

boot load commands.

• Appendix A, "Acronyms," spells out t he ATM acronyms used in thi s manual as wel l as tho se found

in the SmartCell 6A000 User Guide, SmartCell ZX-250 User Guide, and SmartCell ZX Administrator Installation Guide.

• Appendix B, “Cause Codes,” describes the codes that appear in some console messages.

• Appendix C, "Technical Support," gives instructions for contacting Cabletron by telephone, fax,

electronic mail, and the World Wide Web.

SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual 1-1

Introduction

Sections

Read "Switch Attribute" for an example and definition of the various sections under each switch attribute as well as a description of how the manual is organized.

Each section begins with a switch attribute heading (for example, "PVCByID"). Then come the details of relevant operators, parameters, and commands.

Most sections have two parameter tables—one for input and another for output. The tables contain the parameter names, descriptions, and definitions of their values, field sizes, and defaults.

The section ends with examples copied from the switch console for each console command for that switch attribute.

Conventions

The SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual uses the following conventions to convey instructions and information:

• Information you enter (console commands an d input parameters) is shown in bold Courier 10 font

and requires a space between operator and switch attribute.

• Input and output parameters are shown in [Square Brackets].

• Input definitions are shown in <anglebrackets>, as joined text and not case sensitive.

• Filter flags </s> (summary) or </d> (detail) are available with certain show commands and apply to

different information viewing levels. Filter flags require a space between them and the full command. For example, show client /d. The/s option is the same as the standard default option. You can find more details at the relevant switch attribute sections. See the following examples:

switch_prompt # show client ClientNumber(ALL) : Client Type IP Address Server Type Server Conn Status ============================================================================== 1 LANE 90.1.1.186 LECS Established Operational 3 IP/ATM 90.1.1.124 Local Established Operational switch_prompt #

Abbreviations

Pay close attention to how switch attributes appear in each section heading. Switch attributes are not case sensitive. If the heading states B USStat, you must t ype See the following example:

switch_prompt # show busstats Command busstats not Valid for Action show Type Help <command> for help switch_prompt #

busstat and not busstats, because the switch will not recognize the latter .

switch_prompt # show busstat ELANNumber(ALL) : BUS ELANs ============================================================================ ELAN ELAN000 Statistics Out Octets : 0 Out Unicast : 0 switch_prompt #

You can, ho wever, abbreviate the switch attribute to the extent that it is unique. For example, instead of typing show porttrafficcongestion, you can just type show portt. The same can be done with operators. Instead of typing modify, you can type mod. You should type at least three characters for any operator. For example,

switch_prompt # modify portmode PortNumber(ALL) : PortMode(SONET) : switch_prompt #

switch_prompt # mod portm PortNumber(ALL) : PortMode(SONET) : switch_prompt #

See "Switch Attribute" for an explanation of how the sections are organized.

Introduction

Help Options

If you want information on a specific command, type ? or help before typing the command and you will g et a brief description of the command and all its input parameters. If you want information about a specific input parameter while executing a command, type parameter. For example,

switch_prompt # ? add lecselan Create/Add ELAN for LECS(LECSELAN) ============================================================================ ELANNumber ELAN Number in the range 0-127 ELANName ELAN Name ( max. length 32 characters) LESAddress ATM Address for the LES ELANType 802.3 : Ethernet or 802.5 : TokenRing MTU Maximum Frame Size - 1516(def for 802.3), 4544(def for 802.5), 9234 TLVSet TLV Set Number in the range 1-65535 switch_prompt #

? or help after it appears on the console and it will give you details relating to that

Other Reference Options

You will fin d a lis t of acron yms, details about technical support, and an index at the back of this manual. The index contains page references for all switch attribute sections, command parameters, op erators, comman d descriptions and command examples. There is also a table of commands at the end of this chapter. It lists all switch attributes by their operator.

See the SmartCell 6A000 User Guide and SmartCell ZX-250 User Guide for details on how to use the switch. Th e user guides contain information about switch configuration, maintenance, and SNMP (simple network management protocol), as well as an overview of switch capabilities.

Introduction

Switch Attribute

This section—immediately below the headin g—gives a brief descripti on of what the switch attri bute does. A detailed description of each command is available under "Descriptions."

SERVER SVC

"X" under any of these headings indicates the switch attribute is applicable to that software type.

Parameters

Operators make the switch attribute work. Operators pertaining to each switch attribute are listed immediately below the "Operators" heading. The command is the switch attribute combined with the operator. A list of possible switch operators follows. You can use an alias when a word in parentheses appears. However, only the operators not in parentheses are used in this manual.

Parameters appear in the parameter tables in the same order and spelling as the switch shows them.

Option offered by the switch.

Most switch attribute descriptions show two tables —Input Parameter and Output Parameter. If the parameter has already been described in the input parameter table, no reference to it appears in the output parameter table. The output parameter table contains only parameters that have not been described in the input parameter table or that are written very differently on output despite having the same meaning.

1-6 SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual

Introduction

Only one parameter table in a switch attribute section means either that switch attribute uses only input parameters or that the output parameters are identical to the input parameters. The heading of the table indicates which is the case. If the table heading says Input Parameter or Output Parameter, only input or output parameters apply to this switch attribute. However , if the table headi ng says Par ameter, the table contains both input and output parameters, and their field names and definitions are identical.

Some output parameters show either (</d>) or (</s>) to indicate that a filter flag is available and that parameter is available only when you type either /d (detailed information) or /s (summarized information) after the command. If you do not type these command extensions, the parameters do not appear. Further explanations are given at relevant sections. See "SVC" for an example.

The following table gives details about several of the most common parameters in this ma nual; a shorter description of these parameters appears at the relevant sections within the manual:

Table 1-3 Parameter Table Explanation

Parameter Description Value/Field Size Default

[PortNumber] Port number on the switch. Port

numbers can be any of the physical ports on the local switch. Specifying "ALL" causes all related values for the ports to be affected by the command.

Port B4 is the CPU port. The SmartCell 6A00 0/ZX-250 reser ve this port for use by the CPU for local servers and clients. Therefore, B4 port is usually not listed. Only ALL,

ALL or A1

A1-A4, B1-B3, C1-C4, and D1-D4 are listed.

[ATM Address] ATM address assigned to the port,

client, or server according to ATM Forum specifications.

13-20 bytes. Hex-based, dot-decimal format separated by colons/

usually no default

59 characters

[ClientNumber] Number of the client. Each client on

the switch must have a unique client

0 through 127/ Up to 3 characters

ALL

number. Client numbers are shared between LAN emulation (LANE) clients and IP/ATM (IP over ATM) clients.

With [Index Number], [PortNumber ], [Client Numb er], and other paramet ers that default to "ALL", unless you specify a number at that input field, the switch gives ALL information pertaining to that parameter field.

This section provides detailed descriptions of the command (operator and switch attribute) and discusses what the command does and how and when it is used. Other relev ant information appears here.

The following is an example of a description section. It is located under "BUSELAN." Note the detailed description of the command following the table.

Changes the behavior of the BUS parameter s for a specified ELAN. The specified ELAN is then

deleted and recreated. If the corresponding LESELAN exists, then the modified BUSELAN

should have the same characteristics as that existing LESELAN because their parameters need to match.

Examples

Examples are copied exactly from the switch console to show you what yo u should see. They appear at the end of each section in the same order as the operators are listed at the start of each section. There is no significance to the order in which the examples appear, except that show usually appears after the other command exam ples to demonstrate ho w a command can change a characteristic of the switch. Unless they fit on the current page, examples usually begin at the top of a page. The location of every command example appears in the index under "Examples".

Examples show how you must enter console commands at the switch prompt (indicated in bold - modify buselan (console command)). The other bold text (1, 103, pvc, 802.5, 4544) is the input parameters that modify this switch attribute (BUSELAN). The text in brackets (immediately following the parameter field - for example, ELANType(802.3)) indicates the current default. See the following examples.

Parameters

Input Parameter Description Value/Field Size Default

[StartFileNum] Offset to the starting file for alarm messages in

[NumFilesUsed] Number of files currently used within the alarm

message buffer (cannot exceed number of files to store alarms).

[NumAlarmsPerFile] Number of alarm messages that can be stored per

file within the alarm message buffer. Using a smaller value results in less file system rewriting but increases the space wasted per entry, as each file has fixed overhead.
