Telnet Commands

quietMode

Toggles shell quiet mode on and off.

Synopsis quietMode [0|1]

Availability All users (display)

admin (set/clear)

Description Use this command to change the output displayed on the switch console (serial port or telnet

session).

By default, quiet mode is off and all switch tasks can send output to the console, including output

caused by asynchronous events, such as the fabric reconfiguring, or devices logging in.

When quiet mode is on, only output produced by shell commands is shown; asynchronous output

produced by other tasks is suppressed.

Turn quiet mode on when driving a telnet session using a script that does not expect asynchronous

output.

Operands This command has the following operand:

0|1 Specify 0 to disable quiet mode where all tasks are printed in the console. Specify

1 to set quiet mode where only shell commands are displayed in the console. This

operand is optional.

If no operand is specified the current value is displayed.

Example To display the current mode, then reset to ON:
