`
`ABOUT THIS GUIDE
`
`This Command Reference Guide provides information about the
`commands that you use to configure and manage your system or module
`after you install it. Before you use this guide, you should have already
`consulted documents such as your system Getting Started Guide or
`module Quick Start Guide and physically installed your system or module.
`
`Several CoreBuilder® and SuperStack® II platforms are documented in this
`book. Table 1 lists the specific platforms and the current software release
`level of that platform as it relates to the information contained in this
`book:

`This guide is intended for the system or network administrator who is
`responsible for configuring, using, and managing the system. It assumes
`a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations and
`familiarity with communications protocols that are used on
`interconnected LANs.
`
`If the information in the release notes that are shipped with your product
`differs from the information in this guide, follow the instructions in the
`release notes.

`
`Using This Book
`
`This guide contains information for every command for the platforms
`listed at the beginning of th!s chapter. It includes specific information
`about command syntax, field descriptions, default values, and the
`possible range of values. Some command descriptions include a section
`called "Important Considerations" that contains additional information
`to be aware of when using the command. Where appropriate, examples
`help you to understand the commands.
`
`This guide does not contain troubleshooting information or instructional
`material about why or when to use a particular command. For
`information about troubleshooting and networking tasks, see the
`Implementation Guide that is shipped with your system on a CD-ROM.

`
`Command
`Information
`
`Each software command has its own description in this guide. Each
`command description begins at the top of a page. A command
`description begins with these items:
`111 The full command name
`
`111 Platforms on which this command is valid
`
`Under the command name is a list of 3Com switch platforms. The
`comrnand is valid on every platform that has a check mark (I) next
`to it.
`
`Sample pfatform list
`
`1'~500
`l'v"9000
`.fv"9400
`
`l'v"3900
`.fv"9300
`
`111 A short description of the purpose of the command
`
`Some command descriptions begin with a sentence similar to this one:
`"For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer n switching modules only.''
`where n is either 2 or 3_ Because the CoreBuilder 9000 system can house
`both Layer 2 modules and Layer 3 modules, this sentence alerts you to
`the fact that this particular command is valid only on Layer 2 modules or
`Layer 3 modules.
`
`111
`
`The command description continues with one or more of the following
`sections:
`111 Valid Minimum Abbreviation- This section lists the shortest
`number of characters that you can type to issue the command.
`Important Considerations- These usage notes identify potential
`problems before you use the command.
`111 Options- If the command begins a configuration process or other
`procedure, this section presents each prompt that you see, its
`description, the possible values that you can enter, and the default
`value.
`111 Fields- If the command prompts the system to display information,
`this section lists the display parameters and their definitions.
`
`ANI-ITC-944 945-1824711
`
`

`
`Con..,ntions ·--~~-.. 1
`
`11 Procedure- Numbered steps walk you through complex commands.
`
`11 Example- Examples show the interactive display when the system
`provides additional useful information.
`
`Recommendations
`for Entering
`Commands
`
`Before you enter any command, 3Com recommends that you:
`
`11 Examine the system menu carefu!!y for the fu!! command string:
`11 Consult the documentation for the valid minimum abbreviation for
`the command string.
`
`ff you are unfamiliar with a particular system, always enter the entire
`command, even though the system accepts abbreviated commands. If
`you abbreviate commands, you may make errors or omissions that have
`undesirable consequences ..
`
`For example, on the CoreBui!der 9000, to list a !I addresses for a port, you
`use the bridge port address list all command. ffyou mistakenly
`enter bridge port address all, the system interprets it as an
`abbreviated version of the bridge port address flushAll command,
`which flushes the entire address table for the port and does not request
`that you confirm the command.

`
`Command
`
`The word "command" means that you enter the command

`Commands appear in bold. Example:
`
`To set flo\iv control, enter the follo1,ving command:

`
`This guide always gives the full form of a command.
`HmAlever, you can abbreviate commands by entering just
`enough characters to distinguish one command from
`another similar command, as shown in "Valid Minimum
`Abbreviations" under each command description.
`Commands are not case sensitive.
`When you see the word "enter" in this guide, you must type
`something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not
`press Return or Enter when an instruction simply says
`"type."

`
`This chapter introduces the .Administration Console software that is
`supplied with your system, the types of commands that you use to
`perform network tasks, the valid syntax for command abbreviations, and
`some shortcuts to help you navigate through the menus. It also provides
`an overview of the management software that is specific to the
`CoreBuilder® 9000 Enterprise Switch. It introduces the EME (Enterprise
`Management Engine) Management Console for the CoreBuilder 9000
`and describes its relationship to the Administration Console software.
`
`The following topics are covered in this chapter:

`
`.Accessing the Administration Console
`
`11 Using Menus to Perform Tasks
`
`The Administration Console software is installed at the factory in flash
`memory on the system processor. Because this software boots
`automatically from flash memory when you power on your system, the
`system is immediately ready for use in your network.. However, you may
`need to:
`
`11 Configure certain parameters before the system can operate
`effectively in your networking environment.
`
`11 Connect to the Administration Console, if you have a
`CoreBuilder 9000 ..
`
`11 View important MAC, port, bridge, virtual LAN (VLAN), and !P
`statistics while you manage your system.

`
`You use the Administration Console software to configure your system
`parameters (or, on the CoreBuilder 9000, to configure your module
`parameters) and display statistics and counters.
`
`For more complete network management, you can use an external
`application, such as 3Com's Transcend® Network Contra/Services tool
`suite.
`
`On the CoreBuilder 3500, CoreBui!der 9000, and CoreBw1der 940D_ and
`on the SuperS tack® II Switch 3900 and Switch 9300, you can also
`configure parameters and view statistics using the Web Management
`suite of HTML-based applications. See the Web Management User Guide
`for your system for additional information.
