SFTOS Features | 25
• Displaying the MAC address table: Both FTOS and SFTOS have the show mac-address-table
command, but the SFTOS command provided different results than the FTOS command before
SFTOS Release 2.3. The SFTOS syntax still contains the unit/slot/port form cited above, for example,
show mac-addr-table interface 1/0/4.
• Displaying port information: FTOS and SFTOS have different sets of the show interface and show
interfaces commands. SFTOS also has a similar show port command for displaying whether a port is
up or not, as shown in Figure 2-1:
Figure 2-1. Using the show port Command
• Displaying system information: The FTOS command
show linecard is similar to show version in
SFTOS, which shows basic information, including the running software version and up time. Other
similar commands in SFTOS are
show hardware and show sysinfo, and show tech-support provides
the results of a group of those similar commands.
• The
terminal length command: This FTOS command (often shortened to “term len”) was not available
in SFTOS before SFTOS Release 2.3.
• The
service timestamps command: This FTOS command is not available in SFTOS. SFTOS sets
timestamps automatically.
• OSPF area ID: In SFTOS, OSPF only accepts the IP address format for the area ID, not the number
within a range.
• File management:
• Management address: SFTOS Release 2.3 modifies the creation of a management address to be more
like FTOS, but there are still some differences.
• Setting the size of the logging buffer: The FTOS command
logging buffered has a parameter that
enables you to set the size of the buffer, while SFTOS does not. Both FTOS and SFTOS invoke debug
logging with the number 7 as the severity level parameter. For example, the
SFTOS command is
logging buffered 7.
