zreg

NAME

zreg - Read and write registers and tables on the OpenArchitect switch switching hardware.

SYNOPSIS

zreg [-p <ppa>] [-w] [-i <index>] [-t <index>] [-k] [-h

<hostname>] [-d <level>] [-r 10] <reg>

DESCRIPTION

zreg allows a user to read and write direct and indirect registers and tables on the resident
switch chip. zreg is commonly used for debug, or for prototyping when creating applications
that control the OpenArchitect switch. It is also useful when put into shell scripts for displaying
hardware status or statistics. Although the -t option allows tables to be displayed, one might find
the formatted output of the table functions more useful. See zal.

OPTIONS

-p <ppa>

Specify the Physical Point of Attachment (PPA). Each

OpenArchitect switch that is controlled by the CPU on which zreg

is running is a unique PPA. If there is only one OpenArchitect
switch, as would be the case when zreg is running on the embedded

processor the PPA would be 0. The default PPA is 0.

-w

Causes zreg to write to the register or table. Data to be

written is read from standard input.

-i <index> Causes zreg to access at the indexed register

specified by <reg>. See OPERANDS for usage of <reg> with indexed
registers. The <index> parameter is used to determine which entry

i

-t <index> Causes zreg to access the memory specified by <reg>.
The <index> parameter is used as the index into the specified

table. Only content addressable memories are accessed using the –
t option. All other tables and memories are accessed with the –i

option.

-k

Causes zreg to access the memory specified by <reg>. The

entry accessed is determined using the data from standard input

as the search key. Enter 0 for fields that are not part of the
search key.

-h <hostname>

Specify the <hostname> to configure. By default

zreg configures the OpenArchitect switch that is locally
