Chapter 12: Monitor Mode

Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes.

There are two ways to enter Monitor Mode: locally using the serial port or remotely using
the network.

Entering Monitor Mode Using the Serial Port

To enter Monitor Mode locally:

1. Follow the same steps used for setting the serial configuration parameters

(see

Serial Port

on page 64).

2. Instead of typing three x keys, however:

a) Type

zzz (or xx1) to enter Monitor Mode with network connections.

b) Type

yyy (or yy1) to enter Monitor Mode without network connections.

A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.

Entering Monitor Mode Using the Network Port

To enter Monitor Mode using a Telnet connection:

1. Establish a Telnet session to the configuration port (9999).

2. Type

M (upper case). A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered

Monitor Mode Commands

The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an
IP address as an optional parameter (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you enter the IP address, the
command is applied to another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP
address, the command is executed locally.

Note:

All commands must be in capital letters.
