Console Time-out
The console can be configured to exit if it does not sense a key stroke within a defined length of time. By default, the
SmartSwitch 6500 is set to never time out (value = 0). To activate the time-out feature, use the
set ConsoleTimeOut
command to adjust the time-out period:
Smart6500 # set consoletimeout
Timeout(0) : 30 Confirm (y/N)? : y Smart6500 # 2.5.4 Creating an Alias Use the add alias command to create shorter or easier-to-remember names for command lines. For example: Smart6500 # add alias AliasName() : traffic AliasedString() : set switchtrafficcongestion Smart6500 # The above example creates an alias ( traffic ) that can be entered in place of the command set SwitchTrafficCongestion . For example: Smart6500 # traffic LowEPDWatermark(4096) : HighEPDWatermark(4096) : CLP1_DiscardWatermark(4096) : RMCellMarkingEnable(enable) : ExplicitRateMarkingEnable(enable) : EFCIMarkingEnable(enable) : Smart6500 # Enter the show alias command to display a list of all defined aliases and the command lines to which they correspond. :Smart6500 # show alias AliasName(ALL) : Alias List ============================================================================== Index Alias Name : Aliased Command 1 PING : Start ping 2 port : show portconfig 3 traffic : set switchtrafficcongestion Smart6500 # 2.5.5 Ambiguous Commands If you enter part of a command, and that part is not unique, the console displays a numbered list of possible matching show pnnin is ambiguous because there are several commands that start with “pnnin.” In response, the SmartSwitch 6500 displays a list of the possible commands: Smart6500 # show pnnin < “pnnin” is ambiguous Objects beginning with pnnin for action show 0 : PnniNeighbor 1 : PnniNetworkLink 2 : PnniNetworkNode 3 : PnniNode 4 : PnniNodeTimer (#)Command (Q)uit? : 3 < I meant PnniNode, so I enter number three (3) from the list Smart6500 # show PnniNode
commands. For example, entering
