Preface
Nortel Networks* Passport* command line interface (CLI) is one of the tools used
to configure and manage a Passport 8000 Series switch. You can set up, configure,
and manage a Passport 8000 Series switch using the CLI and the Device Manager
graphical user interface (GUI).
The Passport 8000 Series switch is composed of a Passport 8000 Series chassis
with one of the following types of installed modules:
• Passport 8600 module

• Passport 8100 module
This guide provides instructions for using the CLI to perform basic switch
management for Passport switches. It also contains a complete list of CLI
commands. Most of the commands in this guide can be used in both the Passport
8600 module and the Passport 8100 module. If a command can only be used with
one of these modules, it is noted in the text.
Before you begin

This guide is intended for network administrators with the following background:
• Basic knowledge of networks, Ethernet bridging, and IP and IPX routing

• Familiarity with networking concepts and terminology
• Basic knowledge of network topologies
Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures. For a new
switch:
• Install the switch (refer to the installation guide for your switch chassis)
• Connect the switch to the network. See Getting Started with the Passport 8000
Series Switch Management Software.

The Passport 8000 Series switch is composed of a Passport 8000 Series chassis
with a choice of the following installed switch modules.
Passport 8100 module High-performance, low-cost, high-density switching

Passport 8600 module Very high-speed packet forwarding
Routing of Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX) Protocol traffic
In a single chassis, you should install either Passport 8100 modules or Passport
8600 modules, but not both.
The Passport 8600 modules include the following two specialized switching
modules:
• Passport 8683POSE Module

• Passport 8672ATME Module

Device Manager
Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface tool designed to allow

you to manage a single device. In order to use Device Manager, you must have
network connectivity to a management station running Device Manager on one of
the supported platforms.
For more information about using Device Manager, refer to:
Switch Using Device Manager Release 5.x.x
• The online Help within Device Manager
Web management interface
The Passport Web management interface is a Web-based graphical user interface

tool that operates in conjunction with a Web browser. It has somewhat limited
functionality and is intended for use as a tool to access and monitor devices on
your network from various locations. For more information about using the Web
management interface, refer to Getting Started with the Passport 8000 Series
Switch Management Software.
Boot Monitor command line interface
The Boot Monitor CLI contains commands that enable you to configure boot
options and manage files. In the Boot Monitor CLI, you can change boot flags,
serial and network port configuration, and remote host information. For more
information about the Boot Monitor CLI, refer to Chapter 2, “Boot Monitor
command line interface.”
Run-Time command line interface
The Run-Time CLI allows you to perform most switch management tasks. For
detailed information about the Run-Time CLI commands for basic management
tasks, see the following chapters:
• Chapter 3, “Run-Time command line interface,” on page 69

• Chapter 4, “General switch management,” on page 85
For detailed information about Run-Time CLI commands for managing switching
and routing functions, see Configuring Switching and Routing Operations for the
Passport 8000 Series Switch Using the Command Line Interface Release 3.2.
Accessing the CLI

To access the Run-Time or Boot Monitor CLI the first time, you need a direct
connection to the switch from a terminal or personal computer (PC). You can use
any terminal or PC with a terminal emulator as the CLI command station. Be sure
the terminal has the following features:
• 9600 bits per second (b/s), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control
• Serial terminal-emulation program such as Terminal or Hyperterm for
Windows NT® or Hyperterm for Windows® 95 or Windows 98
• Cable and connector to match the male DTE connector (DB-9) on the
Passport switch console port, with the DCE/DTE switch on the switch
management module set to DTE
For information about required cables, see Installing Passport 8100 Switch
Modules or Installing Passport 8600 Switch Modules.
You can also access the CLI through a modem connection. To set up a modem
connection, refer to Appendix C, “Connecting a modem,” on page 147.
To access the Boot Monitor CLI, you interrupt the switch boot process (see
page 46). To access the Run-time CLI, you wait for the login prompt. At the login
prompt, enter a login user name and password (page 36).
You can also access the Run-Time CLI through a Telnet or rlogin session. To
access the CLI remotely, the management port must have an assigned IP address
and remote access must be enabled. You can log on to the switch using Telnet
from a terminal that has access to the Passport 8000 Series switch. At the login
prompt, enter a login user name and password (page 36).
313194-A Rev 00
When you enter the CLI, the name of the system is the displayed prompt; the
Run-Time CLI prompt ends with the slot number of the active switch
management module. For example, the Run-Time CLI prompt is:
Passport-8010:6#
However, in the Boot Monitor CLI, the prompt is different:
monitor#
You can customize the Run-Time CLI prompt to begin with a different character
string (page 103). However, the final character is still the slot number of the active
switch management module.
To open a Telnet session from Device Manager, click the Telnet icon on the
Device Manager toolbar.
Boot Monitor and Run-Time CLIs

The Boot Monitor and Run-Time CLIs are organized into tree data structures.
When you type a command, you see the command’s context and subcontext.
Context indicates commands at that level, and subcontext indicates one or more
command layers available. Figure 1 shows an example with the subcontext and
current context displayed.
Figure 1 Subcontext and context in CLI example
Passport_8100:5# config vlan 1 info
Sub-Context: clear config dump monitor show trace

Current Context:
action : N/A
add-mlt :
agetime : N/A
delete : N/A
qoslevel : 1
name : Default
When you are within a given branch of the tree, you need to type only the
subcommand for that level. For example, to view the configuration information of
VLAN 1 from the top or prompt level, type config vlan 1 info. When you
are already in the “config” branch (as in Figure 1), you need only type vlan 1
info. In addition, when you are at a certain level, you will remain at that level
until you type a command that changes your level, such as box. This feature
enables you to create, delete, or change all relevant parameters at a level without
reentering information.
Instead of typing complete commands, you can enter a shortened version of the
command, such as dis for disable or en for enable, or type part of a command
and then press the Tab key to complete the command. If the letters you typed are
unique to a command, the command is completed automatically. If not, nothing
happens, indicating that more information is necessary.
Getting Help
When you navigate through the Boot Monitor or Run-Time CLI, online Help is
available at all levels. From any level of the tree, you can access Help in four
ways:
• Typing a question mark (?) at the prompt results in a list of all commands in
that command context and the subcontext of that command.
• Typing the word help at the prompt provides an explanation of the available
help.
• Typing help <command> explains what the command does and gives its
syntax.
313194-A Rev 00
• Typing <command> syntax displays a list of commands and parameters

available for that command.
Refer to “help command” on page 33 for more information about the specific
types of online Help.
Navigation commands
The following navigation commands are available in the Boot Monitor and
Run-Time CLIs:
• back—takes you back up one level.

• box—goes to the top or the box level.
• cwc—changes the current working context.
• pwc—displays the current working context.
• pwd—prints the current working directory in the file system.
• top—goes to the box or top level (same as the box command).
• ..—goes back up one level (same as the back command).
Throughout the CLI, you can use the following keystrokes:
• The up arrow key or Control-P: to view and scroll through the previous
history commands.
• The down arrow key or Control-N: to view and scroll through the next history
commands.
• Control-U: to delete a line; clears the line and allows you to enter a new
command.
• Control-C: to abort a line entry; aborts the command entry and puts you at a
new prompt. Note that this command does not abort the current command
level that is running, only the new entry.
• Control-D: logs you off the system.
• Control-S/Control-Q: software flow control XON/XOFF.
• The Tab key or Control-I: command completion; completes the command
when you have entered part of a word (sh for show).
• The Backspace key or Control-H: backspace.
For a complete list of the keystrokes available in the CLI, see Appendix B,
“Special terminal characters,” on page 145.
Parameter values in the CLI are indicated by angle brackets < >. Parameters
can be optional or required. Required parameters must be in the specified order,
followed by optional parameters. Optional parameters are displayed in brackets
[ ]. For a complete list of text conventions used to denote the CLI, see “Text
conventions” on page 18.
When you enter multiple CLI commands, you can terminate a command within a
single line of input by using the semicolon (;) as the separator. A semicolon is
treated like a carriage return by the CLI.
313194-A Rev 00
help command
In the Boot Monitor or Run-Time CLI, if you type help, followed by a specific
command (help [<command>]), a description of the command is displayed with
a list of subcommands or required and optional parameters. Figure 2 shows the
result of typing help config at the prompt.

history commands
The history commands let you list the commands you have entered during the
current session; they also let you reenter commands.
The history commands include the following options:
history Lists the commands that you have entered during the
current CLI session.
!! Reenters the most recently entered command.
!<number> Enters the command identified in the command history by
the variable number.
!<str> Runs the last command that matches the given string
str.
!?<substr> Runs the last command that matches the given substring
substr.
^<sstr>^<rstr> Enters the most recent command but substitutes a new

313194-A Rev 00
Remote host commands
In the Boot Monitor and the Run-Time CLIs, the remote host commands use the
same syntax. These commands allow you to log in to another device from the
Passport 8000 Series switch.
Remote host commands include the following options:
rlogin <ipaddr> Allows login to a remote device.

ipaddr is the IP address of the remote device.
rsh <ipaddr> Executes a shell command on a remote device.
-l <value> <cmd> • ipaddr is the IP address of the remote device.
• -l <value> is the user login name, from 0 to 256
characters.
• cmd is the command to execute on the remote host
(string length 1 to 256).
telnet [<ipaddr>] Allows you to set up a Telnet session to a remote device,
for example, to the standby CPU.
ipaddr is the IP address of the remote device.
Passport access levels and passwords

The Passport 8000 Series switch uses a security scheme with five levels of
management access. The five levels of security access are:
• Read-only access—You can view the device settings, but you cannot change
any of the settings.
• Layer 1 read/write access—You can view most switch configuration and
status information and can change physical port parameters.
• Layer 2 read/write access—You can view and edit device settings related to
layer 2 (bridging) functionality. The layer 3 settings (such as OSPF, DHCP)
are not accessible. You cannot change the security and password settings.
• Layer 3 read/write access—You can view and edit device settings related to
layer 2 (bridging) and layer 3 (routing) functionality. You cannot change the
security and password settings.
• Read/write access—You can view and edit most device settings. You cannot
change the security and password settings.
• Read/write/all access—You have all the privileges of read-write access and
the ability to change the security settings. The security settings include access
passwords and the Web-based management user names and passwords.
Telnet and console passwords
When you access a Passport 8000 Series switch for management, you are
prompted for a login name and a password. The login and password defaults for
console and Telnet sessions are shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Default logins and passwords
Access level Default login Default password
Read-only ro ro
Layer 1 read/write l1 l1
Layer 2 read/write l2 l2
Layer 3 read/write (Passport 8600 only) I3 I3
Read/write rw rw
Read/write/all rwa rwa
You can change logins and passwords only if you log in with read/write/all
privileges (that is, the rwa access level). When the CLI prompts for login and
password, the access level is set corresponding to the login and password pair
entered.
The login command allows you to log in again with a different login access by
entering the user name and password. The prompt remains at the same level as
before you logged in again.
The logout command allows you to log out and reenter at the top level prompt. If
you connect to the switch through Telnet, the logout command terminates the
Telnet session.
313194-A Rev 00
CLI commands to change the console/Telnet password
The following commands change the console/Telnet login name and the password
for each different login access level:
config cli password ro <username> [<password>]

config cli password rw <username> [<password>]
config cli password l1 <username> [<password>]
config cli password rwa <username> [<password>]
To display information about the access levels for login and password, type:
show cli password
For each access level, the current login and password are displayed (Figure 4).
Figure 4 show cli password command output
Passport_8100:5# show cli password

ACCESS LOGIN PASSWORD
rwa rwa rwa
rw rw rw
l2 l2 l2
l1 l1 l1
ro ro ro
Switch file system

The onboard flash memory in a Passport 8000 Series switch holds executable
images and the switch configuration file; these files determine how the switch
boots and operates. The switch can also download files from an ATA-compatible
PCMCIA flash memory card installed in the PCMCIA slot of the switch
management module.
The switch configuration files are in ASCII format so that each line in the file is a
valid system command.
File management commands
In the Boot Monitor and the Run-Time CLIs, the file management commands are
the same. When <file> is listed in the command options, enter a file name in one
of the following formats:
[a.b.c.d:]<filename>
/pcmcia/<filename>
/flash/<filename>
where:
a.b.c.d: specifies the IP address of a remote TFTP server.
pcmcia or flash specifies the device on the switch where the file is located.
filename specifies the name of the file, from 1 to 32 characters long.
313194-A Rev 00
File management commands include:
attribute <file> Modifies the MS-DOS file attributes.

<attributes> • file is the file name.
• attributes is {+ | - |A|S|H|R} (string length
1 to 1024).
cd <dir> Changes the current file system directory path.
dir is a directory path name up to 1024
characters.
cp <srcfile> <destfile> Copies a file from one device to another; can be
used with a wildcard pattern. (See also the copy
Command, page 42.)
• srcfile specifies the source device and file
name (1 to 1024 characters).
• destfile specifies the destination device
and file name (1 to 99 characters).
directory [<dir>] [-l] Lists the files in MS-DOS format (Figure 5 on
page 41).
• dir is the destination device and file name, up
to 1024 characters.
• -l provides details.
Note: Because of the way the file management
system in the switch allocates space for files, the file
size displayed by this command may not exactly
match the space used in memory. In some
situations where the displayed file sizes indicate
additional free space, you may not be allowed to
create additional files.
dos-chkdsk <dir> Runs a check of the file system for inconsistencies.
[repair] • dir is the directory path name, for example /
flash.
• repair repairs the errors found.
dos-format <dir> Formats the directory on the flash or PCMCIA card
with an MS-DOS file system.
dir is the directory name.
edit <file> Edits a file’s contents. (See “edit command” on
page 43 for more information.)
format-flash Formats the switch flash with an MS-DOS file
system.
grep <string> <file> Allows you to display all lines in a file that have one
or more matching strings within the file.
• string is the character string to be matched,
from 1 to 1024 characters.
• file is a file name, in the form /pcmcia/<file>
or /flash/<file>
ls [<dir>] [-r] Lists the files in UNIX format.
• dir is the destination device and file name.
• -r recurses into directories.
mkdir <dir> Creates a directory.
• dir s the directory name.
more <file> [type] Displays the contents of a file (Figure 6).
• file is the device and file name.
• type is the file type, either ASCII or Binary.
mv <old> <new> Moves or renames a file; can be used with a
wildcard pattern.
• old is the old file name.
• new is the new file name.
Note: You cannot use the mv command to move a
file between two devices, for example, between the
flash memory and a PCMCIA card. Use the cp
command (page 39) or the copy command
(page 42) instead.
remove <file> Deletes a file from a boot device.
file is the destination device and file name.
rename <old> <new> Moves or renames the file or directory; can be used
with a wildcard pattern.
• old is the old device and file name.
• new is the new device and file name.
rm <file> Removes a file or directory and can be used with a
wildcard pattern.
file is the file name.
source <file> [stop] Merges a configuration file into the running
[debug] [syntax] configuration without having to reboot the switch.
• file is the device and file name of the new
configuration file.
• stop stops the script when it finds an error in
the file.
• debug provides a debug script output.
• syntax verifies the script’s syntax.
313194-A Rev 00
Warning: When you use a wildcard to remove multiple files, specify the
directory; otherwise, all files in the current directory will be removed. For
example, to remove all .cfg files, type remove ./*.cfg.

copy command
The copy command copies a file from one device to another. The syntax for the
copy command is:
copy <srcfile> <destfile>
where:
srcfile is the source device and file name.
destfile is the destination device and file name.
313194-A Rev 00
You can extend the copy command to copy files from sources other than the flash
or PCMCIA card by using a keyword before the srcfile or destfile
variable. The command lines below show the correct placement for the keyword.
copy [keyword]: /flash/file /flash:newfile
or
copy /flash/file [keyword]:/flash/newfile
You can use any of the following types of keyword:
• An IP address as a keyword specifies a TFTP server as the source of the

copied file.
• peer copies the configuration file from one CPU to another CPU. (For a
description of the peer command, see page 75.)
• tftp uses the TFTP server to copy files from the TFTP server.
For example, to copy a file from UNIX host 10.140.2.124 to flash memory, you
would use the following command:
copy 10.140.2.124:/home/jsmith/file.cfg /flash/file.cfg
edit command
The edit command allows you to use a simple editor (similar to the vi editor in
UNIX) to change the contents of files. The syntax for the edit command is:
edit <file>
After you type the command, the file contents are displayed. Following the file
output, each line of text is repeated to allow you to edit that line (Figure 7).

the following commands:
• :q to exit without making any changes.

• ZZ or :w to quit and save the file.
Warning: Do not edit the boot.cfg file manually, because the switch
reads this file during the boot process. Errors generated while editing the

Boot Monitor command line interface
The Boot Monitor CLI commands enable you to configure boot options and
manage files.
The Boot Monitor CLI commands enable you to perform the following tasks:
• Configure and display boot options, including the configuration file

• Manage the flash file system
• Configure and change IP parameters for system devices
• Manage and change the configuration files
• Change boot flags
• Reset or reboot the system using the default configuration settings
• Reset or reboot the system from a different boot source
This chapter describes the Boot Monitor CLI and covers the following topics:
• “Accessing the Boot Monitor CLI,” next

• “Boot Monitor command hierarchy” on page 47
• “Using the CLI to configure L2 Redundancy” on page 48
46 Chapter 2 Boot Monitor command line interface
Accessing the Boot Monitor CLI

To access the Boot Monitor CLI:
Do one of the following:
• Interrupt the boot sequence by pressing [Enter] at the following prompt:

Press Enter to stop autoboot.
You must interrupt the boot sequence within 4 seconds of the time it
starts.
• From the Run-Time CLI, enter the following commands; then reboot:
config bootconfig flags autoboot false
save bootconfig
Note: You must be directly connected to the switch to initiate a Boot

Monitor session. If you are using the Run-Time CLI from a Telnet
connection, you cannot access the Boot Monitor CLI, because when you
reboot the switch, it breaks the Telnet connection. If the Boot Monitor
CLI is already active in the switch, you can telnet to the Boot Monitor
CLI.
Boot Monitor CLI commands are available in the Run-Time CLI as
config bootconfig commands. For more information, see
“bootconfig commands” on page 90).
When you enter the Boot Monitor CLI, the following prompt is displayed:
monitor#
Note: To change the Boot Monitor settings while in the Run-Time CLI,
type config bootconfig before the command. For example, the
flags tftpd command in the Boot Monitor CLI is config
bootconfig flags tftpd in the Run-Time CLI. For more
information, see “config bootconfig flags commands” on page 92.

Using the CLI to configure L2 Redundancy

The ha-cpu option has been added to the bootconfig flags command to enable or
disable the L2 Redundancy feature. After enabling or disabling the feature the
bootconfig is saved onto both master and standby CPU and the standby CPU is
reset automatically. However, the user needs to manually reset the master CPU.
This feature can only be set using the CLI, it can not be set with Device Manager.
Note: Once the L2 Redundancy feature is enabled the user will lose all
Layer3 configuration and the switch will operate in Layer2 mode only.
The flags commands allow you to enable or disable the flags for configuration
settings. The flags commands allow you to set system flags to true or false.
When you change the configuration parameters using the flags commands, you
must save the changes to the configuration file and reboot the switch before the
changes take effect. For example, to save the changes, you might use the following
commands:
save bootconfig (run time) or
save (monitor)
The flags commands include the following options:
flags
followed by:
info Displays information about the current flag settings.
8100-mode Enables the [Product Name (long)] to act as a switch only. In a
<true|false> switch with Passport 8100 modules, this flag defaults to true.
For Passport 8600 modules, the default is false.
autoboot Controls whether the switch automatically runs the run-time
<true|false> image after being reset or stops at the monitor prompt. Setting
autoboot to false is useful for some debugging tasks. The
default is true.
daylight-saving- Enables or disables daylight saving time for the switch. The
time <true|false> default is false.

Boot Monitor commands

All the following commands, except choice, have equivalent commands in the
Run-Time CLI. File management and remote host commands as well as the
history and help commands are described in Chapter 1, “CLI basics.”
boot command
The boot command allows you to modify and display boot parameters and to
reset or reboot the system.
Note: Entering the boot command with no arguments causes the switch
to boot using the current boot choices defined by the choice command
(next).
The syntax for the boot command is:
boot [<file>] [config <value>]
where:
• file is the software image device and file name in the format [a.b.c.d:]<file>
| /pcmcia/<file> | /flash/<file>. The file name, including the directory
structure, can be up to 1024 characters.
• config <value> is the software configuration device and file name in the
format [a.b.c.d:]<file> | /pcmcia/<file> | /flash/<file>. The file name,
including the directory structure, can be up to 1024 characters.
To boot the switch using the BootStrap Protocol (BootP), use the following
command:
boot 0.0.0.0
choice commands
The choice commands allow you to display or change the order in which the
boot sources (flash and PCMCIA card) are accessed. The default order is to access
the PCMCIA card first, and then the onboard flash.
The required parameter boot-choice is the order in which the specified

boot devices are accessed when you reboot the switch. The options for
boot-choice are primary, secondary, or tertiary.
The choice commands include the following options:
choice <boot-choice>
followed by:
info Displays the current boot choices and associated files
(Figure 10).
config-file Identifies the boot configuration file.
<filename> filename is the device and file name, up to 256 characters
including the path.
image-file Identifies the image file.
<filename> filename is the device and file name, up to 256 characters
including the path.
For example, to specify the configuration file in flash memory as the primary boot
source, you would use the following command:
choice primary config-file /flash/config.cfg
For more information about file name formats, refer to “File management
commands” on page 38.
Figure 10 shows the output from the choice primary info command.
313194-A Rev 00
Figure 10 choice primary info command output
monitor# choice primary info

choice primary config-file "/flash/config.cfg"
choice primary image-file "11.22.33.44:/rel3.1/current/main/
acc.gz"
In this example, the switch is set to use the onboard flash as the primary source for
the configuration file and a TFTP server as the primary source for the image file.
cli commands
The Boot Monitor cli commands are similar to the Run-Time cli commands
described in “config cli commands” on page 103.
The Boot Monitor cli commands include the following options:
cli
followed by
info Displays information about the current settings of CLI
display options.
more <true|false> Enables scrolling of display output. The default is true.
prompt <value> Sets the root-level prompt.
value is a string (1 to 1024 characters).
rlogin-sessions Changes the number of allowed inbound rlogin/rsh
<value> sessions. The default is 1.
value is the number of sessions (0 to 8).
screenlines <value> Sets the number of lines displayed on the terminal screen.
The default is 23.
value is the number of lines (8 to 64).
telnet-sessions Changes the number of allowed inbound Telnet sessions.
<value> The default is 1.
value is the number of sessions (0 to 8).
timeout <seconds> Sets the amount of time elapsed before timeout, when the
switch logs out. The default is 0.
seconds is the timeout period in seconds (30 to 65536).
Figure 11 shows the output from the cli info command; this example lists the
defaults for the cli info command.
Figure 11 cli info command output

date command
The date command allows you to view the current date settings for the switch
(Figure 12). To set the date, use the setdate command on page 63.
Figure 12 date command output
monitor# date
local time: TUE NOV 02 09:32:26 1999 PST
hardware time: TUE NOV 02 17:32:26 1999 UTC
delay command
The delay command enables you to set the number of seconds a standby CPU
should wait (delay) before trying to become the master CPU (refer to the master
command on page 59). This command applies only during a cold start and does
not apply to a failover start. The default is 2 seconds delay.
The syntax is:
delay <seconds>
313194-A Rev 00
flags commands
The flags commands allow you to enable or disable the flags for configuration
settings. The flags commands allow you to set system flags to true or false.
When you change the configuration parameters using the flags commands, you
must save the changes to the configuration file and reboot the switch before the
changes take effect. For example, to save the changes, you might use the following
command:
save file /flash/config.cfg
The flags commands include the following options:
flags
followed by:

master command
The master command allows you to indicate which CPU should become master
when the switch is turned on. The master CPU performs a loopback test to test the
switch fabric. The default master is set for slot 5.
The syntax is:
master <cpu-slot>
where cpu-slot can be 5 or 6.
To display the current setting for the master CPU, use the show master
command.
net commands
The net commands configure the CPU network port devices. The three network
ports are the management port (mgmt), the CPU port (cpu2cpu), and the PCMCIA
card (pccard), if it is acting as a network port. The required parameter
cpu-net-port can be mgmt, cpu2cpu, or pccard.
Note: Use the net mgmt ip <addr/mask> command to assign an IP

address to the switch.
The net commands include the following options:
net <cpu-net-port>
followed by:
info Displays information about the current configuration of the
specified port (Figure 15).
autonegotiate Enables or disables autonegotiation for the port. The
<true|false> default is false.

ping command
The Boot Monitor ping command allows you to test the connection between the
Passport 8000 Series switch and another network device. The syntax for the Boot
Monitor ping command is:
ping <ipaddr> [<size>] [<count>] [-s] [-I <value>]

[-t <value>] [-d]
where:
• ipaddr is the IP address of the other network device.

• size is the size of ping data sent in bytes (16 to 4076).
• count is the number of times to ping (1 to 9999).
• -s sets the continuous ping at the interval rate defined by the [-I]
parameter.
• -I <value> is the interval between transmissions in seconds (1 to 60).
• -t <value> is the no-answer timeout value in seconds (1 to 120).
• -d sets ping debug mode.
To specify a count for the ping operation, you must also specify a size. For
example:
ping 10.5.5.5 1600 5
Figure 16 shows output from the ping command.
Figure 16 ping command output
monitor# ping 10.10.81.18

10.10.81.18 is alive
Quit commands
The quit, logout, and exit commands end your Boot Monitor CLI session and
return you to the Run-Time CLI.
reset command
The reset command reboots the switch and does not require parameters.
A confirmation message is displayed before the switch is reset.
save command
The save command saves the boot configuration to a file. This command also
allows you to save a log or trace file. The syntax for the save command is:
save <savetype> [file <value>] [verbose] [standby <value>]

[backup <value>]
where:
• savetype specifies what to save. Possible values for this parameter are
config, bootconfig, log, and trace.
• file <value> is a file name in one of the following formats:
— [a.b.c.d]:<file>
— /pcmcia/<file>
— /flash/<file>
• verbose saves default and current configuration. If you omit this parameter,
only parameters you have changed are saved.
• standby <value> saves the specified file name to the standby CPU.
313194-A Rev 00
• backup <value> saves the specified file name and identifies the file as a
backup file.
For example, to save a configuration file as a backup file, you might use the
following command:
save config file ralph.cfg backup 2
Note: To save a file to the standby CPU, you must enable TFTP on the
standby CPU. To enable TFTP, enter flags tftpd true in the Boot
Monitor CLI or config bootconfig flags tftpd true in the
Run-Time CLI.
setdate command
The setdate command allows you to set the calendar time in the form of month,
day, year, hour, minute, and second. You must be logged in as rwa to use this
command.
The syntax of the setdate command is:
setdate <MMddyyyyhhmmss>
For example:
setdate 09182000103000

The boot command reboots the Passport 8000 Series switch. The command
options let you specify the boot source (flash, PCMCIA card, or TFTP server) and
file name. If you do not specify a device and file, the Run-Time CLI uses the
software and configuration files on the primary boot device that is defined by the
Boot Monitor choice command.
The syntax for the boot command is:
boot [<file>] [config <value>] [-y]
where:
• file is the software image device and file name in the format [a.b.c.d:]<file>
| /pcmcia/<file> | /flash/<file>. The file name, including the directory
structure, can be up to 1024 characters.
• config <value> is the software configuration device and file name in the
format [a.b.c.d:]<file> | /pcmcia/<file> | /flash/<file>. The file name,
including the directory structure, can be up to 1024 characters.
313194-A Rev 00
• -y suppresses the confirmation message before the switch reboots. If you

omit this parameter, you are asked to confirm the action before the switch
reboots.
clear commands
The clear commands clear statistics from counters, flush entries from a table, or
end a Telnet session. These commands use the parameters port (the port
number) and vid (the VLAN ID).
The clear commands include the following options:
clear
followed by:
ip arp ports <port> Clears ARP port entries from the ARP table.
ip arp vlan <vid> Clears ARP VLAN entries from the ARP table.
ip route ports <port> Clears route entries associated with the specified
port.
ip route vlan <vid> Clears route entries associated with the specified
VLAN.
ports stats [<ports>] Clears port statistics from the switch counters.
telnet <session id> Ends the specified Telnet session.
session id is a number between 0 and 7.
help command
The help command (Figure 21) displays an explanation of the available types of
online Help.
Figure 21 help command output
Passport-8610# help
Eight forms of help are available in the system.
1. Typing "help" describes help features
2. Typing "help commands" provides a list of

commands you can enter from the current prompt.
3. Typing "help ttychars" provides a list of

special terminal editing characters.
4. Typing "syntax" displays a path list

of commands and parameters available from the
current prompt or <command> forward.
5. Typing "help <command>" or "<command> help" describes

a specific command or provides a list of sub-commands
you can enter from with-in <command>.
6. Typing "?" displays the sub and current context

commands available from the current prompt.
7. Typing "<command> ?" displays the sub and current

context commands available from the current prompt
if the command is a intermediate node in the command
tree structure, otherwise, displays parameter help
for the command.
8. Typing "<command?>" displays a list of commands

that will match the characters entered.
To see a list of all commands available at the current login access level, type help
commands at the prompt.
313194-A Rev 00
login, exit, logout, and quit commands
The exit, quit, and logout commands are used to close the CLI session or to
change the access level. The login command logs you in to the system.
peer command
The peer command enables you to use Telnet or rlogin to access the standby
CPU. You can use this command to make changes to the standby CPU without
reconnecting to the console port on that module. The command syntax is:
peer <operation>
where operation is either Telnet or rlogin.
Note: You must set an rlogin access policy on the standby CPU before
you can use the peer command to access it from the master CPU using
rlogin. To set an access policy on the standby CPU, connect a terminal to
the Console port on the standby CPU. For more information about the
access policy commands, refer to “Access policy commands” on
page 111.
ping and pingipx commands
The Run-Time CLI ping command tests the network connection to another
network device. The command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) packet from the switch to the target device. If the device receives the
packet, it sends a ping reply. When the switch receives the reply, it displays a
message indicating that the specified IP address is alive. If no reply is received,
a message indicates that the address is not responding.
The syntax for the ping command is:
ping <ipaddr> [datasize <value>] [count <value>] [-s]

[-I <value>] [-t <value>] [-d]
where:
• ipaddr is the IP address of the other network device.

• datasize <value> is the size of the ping data (16 to 4076 bytes).
• count <value> is the number of times to ping (1 to 9999). The default is 1.
• -s is a continuous ping at the interval rate defined by [-I <value>].
• -I <value> is the interval between transmissions in seconds (1 to 60).
• -d sets ping debug mode. In debug mode, the ping reply includes additional
information about the device being pinged.
Figure 22 shows an example of the ping command output.
Figure 22 ping command output
Passport-8610# ping 10.177.221.126

10.177.221.126 is alive
The pingipx command tests an IPX network connection. The command

syntax is:
pingipx <ipxhost> [<count>] [-s] [-q] [-t <value>]
where:
• ipxhost is the IP address of the network node you are pinging.

• count is the number of times to ping the host (1 to 9999).
• -s is a continuous ping.
• -q is quiet output (same as nonverbose mode).
313194-A Rev 00
reset command
The reset command allows you to reset the switch. When you reset the switch,
the most recently saved configuration file is used to reload the system parameters.
save command
The save command saves the running configuration to a file. The syntax for the
save command is:
save <savetype> [file <value>] [verbose] [standby <value>]

[backup <value>]
where:
• savetype specifies the type of file to save; options are config,

bootconfig, log, and trace.
• file <value> is the file name.
• verbose saves default and current configuration. If you omit the [verbose]
parameter, only the current configuration is saved.
• standby <value> saves the specified file name to the standby CPU.
• backup <value> saves the specified file name and identifies the file as a
backup file.
traceroute command
The traceroute command allows you to trace the route to a remote host. This
command is a valuable tool for troubleshooting because it shows all the routes that
are used or indicates that the remote network is not reachable. The command
syntax is:
traceroute <ipaddr> [<datasize>] [-m <value>] [-p <value>]

[-q <value>] [-w <value>] [-v]
where:
• ipaddr is the IP address of the remote host.

• datasize is the size of the probe packet (1 to 1464).
• -m <value> is maximum time-to-live (TTL) value (1 to 255).
• -p <value> is the base UDP port number (0 to 4294967295).
• -q <value> is the number of probes per TTL (1 to 255).
• -w <value> is the wait time per probe (1 to 255).
• -v is the verbose mode (showing all).
Figure 23 shows output from the traceroute command.

test and show test commands

The test and show test commands allow you to test a Passport 8600 Switch
while the switch is operating and show the test results. The tests do not interfere
with normal bridging and routing activities in the switch, but they do occupy the
CPU.
Note: The test commands are not available for the Passport 8100
Switch.
The test commands include the following options:
test
followed by:
artable Runs the Address Resolution (AR) table test.
fabric Tests the switch’s entire switch fabric.
hardware [<ports>] Runs a hardware test on the specified ports or on all
ports on smart I/O cards.
led Turns on the LED on an OC3 MDA in a Passport
8683POS Module.

[<int|ext>] loopback mode.
ports is the port list.
stop artable Stops the current AR table test.
stop fabric Stops the current switch fabric test.
stop loopback Stops the current loopback test.
<ports>
Note: To be able to test a port in loopback mode, you must first put the
port into the testing state using the command config ethernet
<ports> state test. After the test is complete, put the port back
into normal mode using the command config ethernet <ports>
state enable.
show test commands
The show test commands provide information about tests that were run on the
switch. The show test commands are:
• show test artable (Passport 8600 switches only)

• show test fabric (Passport 8600 switches only)
• show test loopback [<ports>]

Chapter 4
General switch management
This chapter describes the Run-Time CLI commands used for general switch
management. Most management tasks use the config commands, and the config
branch is a main branch in the CLI tree.
The chapter includes information about the following commands:
• show config command (next)

• show tech command (page 88)
• show sys info command (page 89)
• bootconfig commands (page 90)
• Commands for configuring the Run-Time CLI (page 103)
• Commands for configuring the Boot Monitor CLI (page 109)
• System commands (page 110)
• Syslog commands (page 127)
• Log commands (page 131)
• RMON commands (page 134)
• config setdate command (page 138)
• Web-server commands (page 138)
show config command

The show config command displays the current switch configuration.
This command uses the syntax:
show config [verbose] [module <value>]
86 Chapter 4 General switch management
where:
verbose specifies a complete list of all configuration information about the

switch.
module <value> specifies the command group for which you are requesting
configuration settings. The value option can be cli, sys, web, rmon, vlan,
port, qos, traffic-filter, mlt, stg, ip, ipx, diag, or dvmrp.
If you make a change to the switch, it is displayed under that configuration

heading. A complete display is too long to include here; Figure 29 shows
representative information.

bootconfig commands
When you are in the Run-Time CLI, you can use the config bootconfig
commands to make changes to the Boot Monitor, for example, to change the
switch setup.
Note: As in the Boot Monitor, you must save any changes you make to
the switch setup by typing save. In the Run-Time CLI, you must type
save bootconfig to save the changes to the Boot Monitor
configuration file. Before the saved changes to boot flag settings take
effect, you must reboot the switch.
313194-A Rev 00
config bootconfig choice commands
The config bootconfig choice commands allow you to display or change

the order in which the boot sources (flash and PCMCIA card) are accessed.
The required parameter bootconfig is the order in which the specified boot
device is accessed when you reboot the switch. The options for bootconfig are
primary, secondary, and tertiary.
The config bootconfig choice commands include the following options:
config bootconfig choice <bootconfig>

followed by:
info Displays the current boot choices and associated files.
config-file Identifies the boot configuration file.
<filename> filename is the device and file name.
image-file Identifies the image file.
<filename> filename is the device and file name.
config bootconfig delay command
The config bootconfig delay command enables you to set the number of
seconds a standby CPU should wait (delay) before trying to become the master
CPU (see the config bootconfig master command on page 95). This
command applies only during a cold start and does not apply to a failover start.
The default is 2 seconds delay.
config bootconfig delay <seconds>
config bootconfig flags commands
The config bootconfig flags commands allow you to set system flags to
true or false. Changes to certain flags (factorydefaults, ftpd, tftpd, wdt) take effect
only after changes are saved to the boot configuration file and the switch is reset.
The config bootconfig flags commands include the following options:
config bootconfig flags

followed by:
info Displays current flag settings (Figure 33).
Passport-8100-mode Enables the Passport 8000 Series switch to act as a layer 2 switch only.
<true|false> When using Passport 8100 modules, this flag defaults to true. For
Passport 8600 modules, the default is false.

config bootconfig master command
The config bootconfig master command allows you to indicate which CPU
should become master when the switch is turned on. The master CPU performs a
loopback test to test the switch fabric. The default master is set for slot 5.
The syntax is:
config bootconfig master <cpu-slot>
where cpu-slot specifies the module position, either slot 5 or slot 6.
config bootconfig net commands
The config bootconfig net commands configure the CPU network port
devices. The three network ports are the management port, the CPU port, and the
PCMCIA card, if it is acting as a network port. The required parameter
cpu-net-port can be mgmt, cpu2cpu, or pccard.
Note: Use the net mgmt ip <addr/mask> command to assign an IP

address to the switch.
The config bootconfig net commands include the following options:
config bootconfig net <cpu-net-port>

followed by:

• config sys link-flap-detect commands (page 125)
• show sys link-flap-detect general-info command (page 126)
• dump ar command (page 127)
Access policy commands
Access policy commands allow you to control management access by setting

policies for services to prevent or allow access to the switch. If management
access to the switch is permitted through Telnet, SNMP, HTTP, rsh, or rlogin, you
can specify which hosts or networks can access the switch through these services.
You can define network stations that are explicitly allowed to access the switch
or network stations that are explicitly forbidden to access the switch. For each
service you can also specify the level of access, such as read-only or read/write/
all.
Note: Access policies define who can access the switch management
functions remotely. To enable access services (how the switch
management functions are accessed), use the flags or config
bootconfig flags command.
config sys access-policy commands
The config sys access-policy commands allow you to display information

about access policies on the switch or to enable access policies.
The config sys access-policy commands include the following options:
config sys access-policy

followed by:
info Displays the global access policy settings.
enable <true|false> Globally enables or disables the IP access policy
feature on the switch. false means no policies
on the switch are applied.
config sys access-policy policy commands
The config sys access-policy policy commands allow you to create or

modify specific access policies. The required parameter pid is the policy ID from
1 to 65535. This policy ID is assigned when you create the policy.
The config sys access-policy policy commands include the following

options:
config sys access-policy policy <pid>

followed by:
info Displays characteristics of the specified access policy
(Figure 45).
accesslevel Sets an access level for a policy.
<level> level is the access level (ro, rw, or rwa) or read-only,
read-write, or read-write-all.
create Creates a new access policy with the specified policy ID.
delete Deletes the access policy with the specified policy ID.
disable Disables the specified access policy.
enable Enables the specified access policy.
host <ipaddr> Sets the access policy trusted host address. Applicable only
for remote login and remote shell execution.
ipaddr is the IP address {a.b.c.d} of the host used to
authenticate the user. The login must be the specified user at
the specified host for access.
mode <mode> Sets the specified access policy to allow or deny access.
mode is allow or deny.
313194-A Rev 00
config sys access-policy policy <pid>

followed by:
name <name> Sets a name for the specified access policy.
name is a string from 0 to 15 characters (for example
Group 1).
network Sets the access policy network address and subnet mask
<addr/mask> {a.b.c.d/x|a.b.c.d/x.x.x.x|default}.
This command defines those stations that are affected by the
access policy. If you specify an IP address and subnet mask,
that location is either allowed or denied access, depending on
the setting of the mode command. default means that
everyone on the network is either allowed or denied access, as
defined by the mode command.
precedence Sets the access policy precedence. The precedence
<precedence> determines which policy to use if multiple policies apply.
precedence is a range from 1 to 128, with the lowest
number having the highest precedence.
service http Enables or disables the specified access policy for HTTP
<enable|disable> service.
service rlogin Enables or disables the specified access policy for rlogin
service snmp Enables or disables the specified access policy for SNMP
service telnet Enables or disables the specified access policy for Telnet
username Sets the trusted host user name from the trusted host for the
<string> specified policy. Applies only to rlogin access.

Setting an access policy
Figure 46 illustrates the command sequence for preventing a host from using
specific services on a Passport 8000 Series switch. The host 10.135.200.35 will
not have access to this switch using HTTP, SNMP, or rlogin. When denying
services to a host, you must specify which service to enable for that policy PID.

By default, policy 1 is the default access policy. This policy allows any IP address
to access the switch using HTTP, SNMP, or Telnet. Because the precedence level
for policy 1 is the lowest possible level, this policy is normally superseded by new
policies that are created.
show sys access-policy info command
The show sys access-policy info command displays information about a

specified access policy or all access policies on the switch.

config sys set mgmt-virtual-ip command
The config sys set mgmt-virtual-ip command allows you to create a

virtual management port in addition to the physical management ports on the
switch management modules. When you assign an IP address to the virtual
management port, that IP address provides access to both switch management
modules. The master management module replies to all management requests sent
to the virtual IP address, as well as to requests sent to its management port IP
address. If the master management module fails and the standby management
module takes over, the virtual management port IP address continues to provide
management access to the switch.
This feature is not supported in a switch with mixed Passport 8190SM modules
and Passport 8690SF modules.
config sys set mgmt-virtual-ip <ipaddr/mask>
After you set an IP address for the virtual management port, you must save the
configuration file to the standby management module. To save the file:
Enter:
save config file <name> standby where name is the name of the
configuration file.
To check the configuration file on the standby management module, use the more
<file> command on page 40 through a direct or Telnet connection to the standby
management module.
To assign IP addresses to the physical management ports, use the config

bootconfig net mgmt ip <addr/mask> command on page 95.
Other config sys set commands
Other config sys set commands set individual system-level switch

parameters.
313194-A Rev 00
The config sys set commands include the following options:
config sys set

followed by:
info Displays current system settings (Figure 51).
contact <contact> Sets the contact information for the switch.
contact is an ASCII string from 1 to 1024 characters
(for example a phone extension or email address).
ecn-compatibility Enables or disables explicit congestion notification, as
<enable|disable> defined in Experimental RFC 2780. This feature is not
currently supported on the Passport 8000 Series switch.
global-filter Enables or disables global filtering on the switch. When this
<enable|disable> command is enabled, you must disable source MAC VLANs
(config sys set vlan-bysrcmac disable). The
system will not allow you to enable global filtering and source
MAC-based VLANs at the same time.
This command is available only on Passport 8600 switches.
location Sets the location information for the switch.
<location> location is an ASCII string from 1 to 1024 characters (for
example, Finance).

config sys link-flap-detect commands
Link flap detection allows you to control link state changes on a physical port.
You can set thresholds for the number and frequency of changes allowed and take
action if the thresholds are exceeded. If the link state change thresholds are
exceeded, a log entry is generated. The possible configuration actions are to send a
trap and to bring down the port.
This feature allows you to detect when the link is going up and down rapidly (that
is, flapping) on a port. This action can be detrimental to network stability because
it could trigger spanning tree and routing table recalculation.
The config sys link-flap-detect commands include the following

options:
config sys link-flap-detect

followed by:
info Shows the link-flap-detect settings (Figure 56).

auto-port-down Enables or disables automatic disabling of the port if the
<enable|disable> link-flap threshold is exceeded; the default is enable.
frequency Sets the number of changes that are allowed during the
<frequency> time specified by the interval command. The default
is 10.
frequency is from 1 to 9999.
interval <interval> Sets the link-flap-detect interval in seconds. The default
is 60.

Appendix C
Connecting a modem
You can access the CLI through a modem connection to the Passport 8690SF
module or the Passport 8190SM module. This appendix describes how to connect
a modem to the Modem port on the module.
To set up modem access, you need a DTE-to-DCE cable (straight or transmit

cable) to connect the Passport 8000 Series switch to the modem. Table 5 shows
the DTE-to-DCE pin assignments.
Table 5 DTE-to-DCE straight-through pin assignments
Switch Modem
Pin DCE DB-9 DCE DB-25

Signal number pin number pin number
RXD 2 2 3
TXD 3 3 2
DTR 4 4 20
GND 5 5 7
DSR 6 6 6
RTS 7 7 4
CTS 8 8 5
The Modem port is a data terminal equipment (DTE) device operating at 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit. Because the Modem port expects to
receive Data Set Ready (DSR) and Clear To Send (CTS) signals before
transmitting, these control lines are required in the cables. The Modem port does
not support any inbound flow control; that is, the port does not toggle control lines
to indicate the input buffer is full.
148 Connecting a modem
To connect a modem to a Passport 8000 Series switch you may need to set up the
Modem port first using another type of connection to the CLI.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends that you use the default settings for
the Modem port for most modem installations.
To set up the Modem port:
1 In the Run-Time CLI, enter the following command:

config bootconfig sio modem
Now you can enter options for this command level without retyping the first
part of the command.
2 Use the following commands to set port parameters, based on the

requirements of the modem:
• baud <rate>
where rate is the baud rate for the modem. The default is 9600.
• 8databits <true|false>
where:
false sets the number of data bits per byte to 8. This setting is the
default.
true sets the number of data bits per byte to 7.
• mode <ascii|slip|ppp>
where:
ascii is the default setting. This setting is recommended for most
modem connections.
slip sets the port for serial line IP (SLIP) operation.
ppp sets the port for point-to-point protocol (PPP) operation.
313194-A Rev 00
Connecting a modem 149
For information about the configuration requirements of your modem, refer to

the documentation that was shipped with the modem.
Caution: Nortel Networks recommends that you not set the Modem
port for SLIP or PPP operation unless you are already thoroughly
familiar with the operation of these protocols.
3 If you set the port mode to slip, use the following commands to set other
SLIP parameters:
• slip-compression <true|false> to enable or disable TCP/IP
header compression. The default is false.
• slip-rx-compression <true|false> to enable or disable TCP/IP
header compression on the receive packet. The default is false.
4 If you set the port mode to ppp, use the following commands to set other PPP
parameters:
• mtu <bytes> to set the maximum transmission unit for the
point-to-point link. The default is zero (0).
• my-ip <ipaddr> to set the near-end IP address on the point-to-point
link. The default is 0.0.0.0.
• peer-ip <ipaddr> to set the peer IP address on the point-to-point link.
• pppfile <file> to identify the file to use for PPP initialization
parameters.
5 On the modem, turn off echo mode and return code messaging.
6 Connect the modem to the modem port using a cable with the connector
described in Table 5.

Authentication
The PPP implementation supports two separate user authentication protocols:
the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and the Challenge-Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP). If authentication is required by either peer, it
must be satisfactorily completed before the PPP link becomes fully operational.
If authentication fails, the link is terminated automatically.

Appendix E
Tap and OctaPID Assignment
The switch fabric in the Passport 8600 modules has nine switching taps, one for
each of the eight I/O slots (1 to 4 and 7 to 10) and one for the CPU slots (5 and 6).
Taps 0-7 map to the eight I/O slots and can support up to eight OctaPIDs. Each
OctaPID can support up to eight ports.
In the Passport 8000 Series switch, a physical port number is 10 bits long and has
the following format:
9 6 5 3 2 0
+-----+----+----+
| | | |
+-----+----+----+
bits 9–6: Tap number (0–15)
bits 5–3: OctaPID number (0–7)
bits 2-0: MAC port number (0-7)
The Tap number bits and the OctaPID number bits combined (bits 9–3) are
usually referred to as the OctaPID ID.
156 Tap and OctaPID Assignment
Table 6 lists the module types that are currently available, along with the
associated OctaPID ID assignments for each module.
