Section 3 Telnet
Overview
Telnet is available in the SANbox Switch family only.
Each SANbox Switch chassis contains a Telnet server. This server allows a Telnet
client to establish a Telnet session with the switch in order to retrieve information
from the Switch or to configure parameters on the Switch. A command set is
supported which allows the user to perform a variety of management, diagnostics,
utility, or general functions through an Ethernet connection to a Switch.
Command Overview
The Telnet Commands for the SANbox are based on a three-level keyword syntax.
The general syntax is as follows: Note: All text is case insensitive.
Prompt> Command Command Type Field Data…
The first word on the command line is the “command”, This must be one of the
following key-words or the command will be rejected. Some commands require a
command type, some do not. Some commands require field data and some do not.
Refer to the paragraphs for each command to determine the exact requirement.
delete reset switch
exit send
help set
login show
logout whoami
passwd
Depending on the command, the second word in the syntax is usually the
“command-type”. The command types can be broken down into the following
categories:
• General and Internal/Debugging,
• Chassis, Port, and Fabric Management
• Network Interface Management/Configuration, and
• Test/Self-Test/Diagnostics.
