Debugging with Predefined Aliases
This section describes how to use aliases that are useful for debugging common
network problems. These aliases are located in the debug.al file.
Enter the following to load the aliases that are predefined for debugging, where
<vol> is the volume containing the files from Bay Networks:
source aliases
<vol>
:debug.al
Table 9-1 shows each alias and its associated function. To invoke an alias, enter
the alias after the Technician Interface prompt. Follow the alias with a space and
the parameter indicated, if applicable. The console displays the data associated
with the alias.
You can display the commands associated with an alias loaded in memory in two
ways:
• You can use the
alias
command to display the commands without invoking
them.
• You can use the
verbose
command to display the commands associated with
an alias
whenever an alias executes.
Note:
You can also use
run
<vol>
:
debug.al
.
