Entering Commands
The switch is controlled with commands described in this document and in the
Rapier Switch Software Reference. While the keywords in commands are not case
sensitive, the values entered for some parameters are. The switch supports
command line editing and recall (Table 2 on page 13).
The Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The switch may be configured and managed with an HTTP-based Graphical
User Interface (GUI). The GUI may be accessed with Internet Explorer version
5 or greater. A copy of Internet Explorer can be found on the switch’s
Documentation and Tools CD-ROM. JavaScript must be enabled.
Use the menus and buttons on the GUI pages to navigate, not your browser’s buttons,
to ensure that the configuration settings are saved correctly.
Enabling and Disabling the GUI
The GUI is enabled by default. To enable or disable the GUI, use the following
commands:
ENABLE GUI
DISABLE GUI
When enabled, the GUI will only work if a valid resource file for the hardware
model is present in FLASH memory, and if the HTTP server is enabled (see the
Operations chapter of the Rapier Switch Software Reference).
