11.1 - RCMD OVERVIEW
The
rcmd
command allows remote access to a network node (the
rcmd
command is called
rsh
on some UNIX systems). The general syntax is:
$ rcmd name keyword <CR>
-
name
: peripheral name (listed in
/etc/hosts)
. Some versions of UNIX
also accept the IP address of the peripheral.
-
keyword
: the operation to be performed.
Note: to access an AX3000 via the
rcmd
command, its IP address must
already be set. An AX3000 IP address can be set either:
- through the AX3000 TCP/IP Set-Up or,
- automatically using the RARP protocol (see section 2.2.2).
11.2 - DOWNLOADING BY TFTP PROTOCOL
To download firmware through the tftp protocol, the firmware file location
(filename and tftp host IP address) must be given.
11.2.1 - Remote Administration
The
rcmd
command syntax is as follows:
# rcmd axname ax_download file tftpIP routeIP <CR>
-
axname
: AX3000 name listed in
/etc/hosts
,
-
ax_download
: keyword for firmware downloading,
-
file
: path and name of the firmware file,
-
tftpIP
: name or IP address of the tftp host (if the name is used, this
host name must be listed in the target AX3000 Set-Up),
-
routeIP
(optional): name or IP address of a router to reach the tftp host
(if the name is used, this router name must be listed in the target AX3000
Set-Up).
