Chapter 11 – Upgrading Firmware And Managing Configurations
Using SQL Commands
The RuggedSwitch™ provides an “SQL like” command facility that allows expert
users to perform several operations not possible under the user interface, namely:
• Restoring the contents of a specific table, but not the whole configuration,
to their factory defaults,
• Search tables in the database for specific configurations,
• Make changes to tables predicated upon existing configurations.
When combined with RSH, SQL commands provide a means to query and
configure large numbers of switches from a central location.
Getting Started
SQL information is obtainable through the CLI shell “sql” command.
