Configuring the Cabletron SmartSwitch Router
The SSR provides a command line interface (CLI) that allows you to configure and
manage the SSR. The CLI has several command modes, each of which provides a group of
related commands that you can use to configure the SSR and display its status. Some
commands are available to all users; others can be executed only after the user enters an
“Enable” password.
You use the CLI to configure ports, IP/IPX interfaces, routing, switching, security filters
and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
Understanding the Command Line Interface
The SSR Command Line Interface (CLI) provides access to several different command
modes. Each command mode provides a group of related commands. This chapter
describes how to access and list the commands available in each command mode and
explains the primary uses for each command mode. This chapter also describes the other
features of the user interface.
SSR commands can be entered at a terminal connected to the access server or router using
the command line interface (CLI). The SSR can also be configured using the CoreWatch
Java-based management application. Using CoreWatch is described in the CoreWatch
User’s Guide.
