Using SQL Commands

The RuggedSwitch™ provides an "SQL like" command facility that allows expert
users to perform several operations not possible under the user interface, namely:
• Restoring the contents of a specific table, but not the whole configuration,
to their factory defaults,
• Search tables in the database for specific configurations,
• Make changes to tables predicated upon existing configurations.
When combined with RSH, SQL commands provide a means to query and
configure large numbers of switches from a central location.

Getting Started

SQL information is obtainable through the CLI shell "sql" command.
>sql
The SQL command provides an 'sql like' interface for manipulating all system
configuration and status parameters. Entering 'SQL HELP command-name' displays
detailed help for a specific command. Commands, clauses, table, and column
names are all case insensitive.
