L2 is ready to accept commands:
L2>
Common operations are discussed in the following sections:

Viewing System Configuration
You can use the L2 config command to view the current system configuration from a
brick level, as follows:
L2> config
127.0.0.1:
127.0.0.1:0:0 - 003c01
127.0.0.1:0:1 - 004c01
127.0.0.1:0:2 - 002c01
127.0.0.1:0:3 - 001x01
L2>
As shown above, config produces a list of bricks in the system and the system
controller address of each brick. This is similar to the output from using the config
command on the L1 with the addition of the L2 IP address and USB port number. The
structure of the brick’s address is as follows:
a.b.c.d:x:y - rrrtss.p
where:
a.b.c.d is the IP address of the L2. (In the example above, the IP address is
127.0.0.1.)
x is the USB port number. (In the example above, the port number is zero.)
y is the L1 index, as follows:
