Changing the Command Line Options
The command line options are stored in the file:
/etc/default/tlxapi
.
The default file contents are:
# Defaults for tlxrapi initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/tlxrapi
# installed at /etc/default/tlxrapi by the maintainer scripts
#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#
## set this to no and the daemon will not run
APIRUN=yes
# Command line options that are passed to tlxrapi.
TLXAPI_ARGS="--verbose –api"
Command line options are added to the
TLXAPI_ARGS
line.
For example, to change the serial port baud rate to 115200 and send a CRLF at the end of each
line, the TLXAPI_ARGS line will be:
TLXAPI_ARGS="--verbose --api --baud=115200 --CR"
After the file is modified and saved, the following command will restart the API with the new
settings:
service tlxapi restart
Note: Any changes you make to the switch firmware will be lost if you install a new
SD card from Thinklogical.
