Admin - Bay Networks 5390 Administering

Using the CLI Commands

admin

The superuser admin command is a local substitute for the host-resident na command, especially
in stand-alone environments. The CLI admin command set provides a subset of the host-resident
na command set. The syntax is:
admin [command]
Entering the admin command alone at a superuser CLI connection puts you in administrative mode.
The CLI prompt is replaced with the admin prompt. The attention key or quit command at the admin
prompt terminates the admin session and returns you to the CLI prompt. Table C3-4 describes the
CLI admin command set.
These CLI admin commands function like their na counterparts, with the following exceptions:
• CLI admin commands work only on the local Model 5390 server.
• When issuing admin with command line arguments (not as a subsystem) you must include
the port_set.
• The help command provides a help summary only for the CLI admin command set. Entering
help command_name indicates the command's syntax.
• The reset command does not reset the connection from which the reset is issued. To reset
your port or connection, return to the CLI and issue hangup.
