Configuring the DIGITAL GIGAswitch/Router
The GSR provides a command line interface (CLI) that allows you to configure and
manage the GSR. The CLI has several command modes, each of which provides a group
of related commands that you can use to configure the GSR and display its status. Some
commands are available to all users; others can be executed only after the user enters an
“Enable” password.
You use the CLI to configure ports, IP/IPX interfaces, routing, switching, security filters
and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
Understanding the Command Line Interface
The GSR Command Line Interface (CLI) provides access to several different command
modes. Each command mode provides a group of related commands. This chapter
describes how to access and list the commands available in each command mode and
explains the primary uses for each command mode. This chapter also describes the other
features of the user interface.
GSR commands can be entered at a terminal connected to the access server or router using
the command line interface (CLI). The GSR can also be configured using the DIGITAL
clearVISN CoreWatch Java-based management application. Using DIGITAL clearVISN
CoreWatch is described in the
DIGITAL clearVISN CoreWatch User’s Guide
.
