Command Line Interface (CLI)


This chapter describes the VISM Command Line Interface (CLI) that is used to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the VISM card.

Command Line Features

Commands can be entered either through:

An alphanumeric terminal (or PC emulating an alphanumeric terminal) connected to the control port on the shelf's PXM card.

A PC or workstation using Telnet and connected to the PXM LAN port using TCP/IP through its LAN port (the IP address used is that of the MGX 8850 and which must already be configured).

Entering Commands

The CLI is a DOS-like interface in which each command has a mnemonic followed by a string of parameters (some commands have no parameters, some have one, and some have several). Commands are entered by typing the mnemonic followed by the value of each parameter in order and ended with the Enter key. Spaces are used to separate the mnemonic and all the parameters.

An example command is the command to add an endpoint in VISM which can be used to defined one end of a connection. The command is Add Endpoint and its mnemonic is addendpt. This command has three parameters, namely, an endpoint number (to identify the endpoint from other endpoints), the ds1 line to be associated with the endpoint, and the ds0 channel within the ds1 line to be associated with the endpoint. The format of this command is:

addendpt <endpoint_num> <ds1_num> <ds0_num>

where

<endpoint_num>

An endpoint number in the range 1-240 for E1 and 1-192 for T1.

<ds1_num>

The physical line number in the range 1-8

<ds0_num>

The DS0 configured for this endpoint. DS0s are numbered 1 to 31 for E lines and 1 to 24 for T lines.


:

Thus to add an endpoint with number (say) 10 which defines ds1 number 4 and ds0 channel number 3 within ds1 number 4, the command is:

addendpt 10 4 3 (Enter)

Some commands require a parameter identifier to be entered before the parameter value. The clear alarm is an example of such a command. The format of this command is:

clralm -ds1 <LineNum>

The parameter is LineNum but requires the identifier "-ds1" to be entered also. Thus to clear alarms on line 4 the command is:

clralm -ds1 4

This chapter describes each command is detail including parameter identifiers where required.

General Command Items

Command Sequences

Many operations require several commands to be executed in a prescribed sequence. For example, configuring a line (such as addccs) requires the addln (addline) command to be executed before a configuration can take place. Likewise, the same principle applies when deleting in which the items are deleted in the reverse order in which they were added. Using the same example, if a line has CCS added through the addccs command , it must first be deleted (delccs) before the line can be deleted.

In most cases, if a user attempts to execute a command in the wrong sequence, a message indicating such is displayed.

Mandatory/Optional Commands

There are certain mandatory commands that must be executed before the VISM card is fully operational. The remaining commands are optional and will assume default values for their parameters unless they are executed with other specific parameter values.

The mandatory commands (in order of execution) are shown in Table 7-1.

Logging In

Before commands can be entered, the user must first log onto the system. This process requires a valid user name and password that are known to the MGX 8850 (see the MGX 8850 Command Reference for details)

Logging in process consists of:

1. Entering your user name followed by pressing the Enter key in response to a prompt requesting user name.

2. Entering your password followed by pressing the Enter key in response to a prompt requesting a password.

3. The system responds by asking for a card number (slot number).

Login: cisco

card number [7]:

If the slot number of the VISM card to be configured is known, enter that number and press the Enter key.

If the VISM slot number is not known, enter the number 7 to logon to the PXM card, which is in slot 7, and then enter the dspcds (display cards) command. This displays the card installed in each slot in the shelf as shown below.

    1.32  Empty                     Clear 

Locate the slot number of the VISM card to be configured and use the cc (change cards) command with the desired VISM card slot number to switch to the required VISM card.

NODENAME.1.7.PXM.a > cc 9                                                       
(session redirected)                                                            

The command line prompt shows the name of the shelf, the number of the shelf (which is always "1"), the slot number and type for the current card, and whether the card is in the active ("a") or standby state ("s"). The following is an example of the command line prompt:

 
NODENAME.1.9.VISM8.a 

In this exa mple, the current card is an active VISM in slot 9, and the name of the node is "NODENAME".

When the VISM prompt is displayed, commands can be entered and executed by the selected VISM card.

Logging Out

To end a CLI session and log out of the system, enter either the bye command or the logout command.

VISM Commands

The VISM CLI Command set are listed in the following tables.

Table 7-2 lists all the VISM commands in alphabetical order.


Note Not all commands are applicable to all modes. The X's in the table indicate which commands apply to the VoIP mode and which apply to the AAL2 Trunking mode.


Table 7-3 lists VoIP mode commands in alphbetical order.

Table 7-4 lists VoIP mode commands by functional group. For example, the Card Group includes those commands that refer to the VISM card as a whole, the DSP Group includes those commands that refer to the Digital Signal Processors.

Table 7-5 lists AAL2 Trunking mode commands in alphabetical order.

Table 7-6 lists AAL2 Trunking mode commands by functional group.

A description of each VISM command, arranged in alphabetical order, follows the command tables. If the nemonic of a command is known, the Index can be used to obtain the page number of the description of that command.
