The MPM Command/Menu
The mpm command has two functions: displaying the MPX redundancy configuration and
entering the mpm menu. Displaying the MPX redundancy is described below and the mpm
menu is described in MPM Menu Commands on page 6-9.

configuration of the switch by entering

MPM Menu Commands
The mpm command also takes you to the mpm menu which contains the commands needed
to configure single and redundant MPXs . With a serial or modem connection, you can
communicate with either the primary or secondary MPX by connecting to the respective RS232
connectors. With a telnet connection, however, you can only communicate with the primary
MPX .
Type a ? to list the mpm commands. One set of commands will be displayed if you are
connected to the primary MPX and another command will be displayed if you are connected
to the secondary MPX . If you are connected to the primary MPX , you will see the following.
