For More About Operations and Facilities
For more detail about operating the switch, and for full command syntax
definitions, see the Operation chapter in the AT-8700XL Series Software Reference,
including:
■ How to use the User Authentication Facility, RADIUS, TACACs or
TACACS+ for authenticating users who log on to the switch, and ensuring
that only authorised login accounts are used.
■ How to use the HTTP Client, which you can use to download software files
onto the switch, and the HTTP Server.
■ How to use the Mail Subsystem.
■ How to use LDAP to load PKI certificates and CRLs onto your switch.
■ How to use Switch Startup Operations
■ How to use FLASH compaction to regain storage space on the switch. Read
“Warning about FLASH memory” on page 9 before you attempt to do this.
■ How to set aliases to represent common command strings.
■ How to define a remote security officer, so you can manage the security
features remotely via Telnet.
See other chapters in the AT-8700XL Series Software Reference for more
information on how to:
■ Use the logging facility to monitor network activity and to select and
display the results (see the Logging Facility chapter).
■ Use SNMP to manage the switch remotely (see the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) chapter and Appendix C: SNMP MIBs).
■ Use the command line to create, delete and modify configuration scripts
(see the Scripting chapter).
■ Set up triggers to automatically run specified scripts at specified times, or
at specified events (see the Trigger Facility chapter).
■ Use NTP to synchronise your switch’s time clock with those of other
network devices (see the Network Time Protocol (NTP) chapter).
■ Use software to test whether the switch’s hardware functions correctly (see
the Test Facility chapter).
