Na Commands - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Book C
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
T
he na utility provides commands for managing the RA 6300. These
commands allow you to:
• Set and display the operating characteristics of the RA 6300.
• Reboot or reset the RA 6300, reset internal ports, and reset
sessions.
• Broadcast administrative messages to RA 6300 users.
The na utility is stored on and accessed from a UNIX host.
The RA 6300 stores the parameters set using na in non-volatile memory.
After a reboot or a reset, the RA 6300 updates its run-time parameters
with the non-volatile parameters changed by na. The na utility can
communicate with the RA 6300 only when the RA 6300 is running its
operational code.
All na commands are taken from the na standard input: you can run na
interactively or provide it with input through a file or pipeline. You can
create a script file containing na commands to configure an RA 6300.
This script file can save the configuration information for a specific
RA 6300 and, when required, restore the configuration.
This chapter illustrates command names, parameter names, and keywords
in their long forms. Examples of na commands sometimes appear without
the interactive command prompt, and with embedded comments that
describe the functions being performed. This format resembles the
appearance of na scripts; the portion of the script entered at the terminal
in response to the command prompt appears in bold type.
