File Management Commands
uplink-mode
Syntax uplink-mode {access-uplink| network}
Context bof
Description This BOF parameter allows the user to configure the system in either access- uplink mode or network
mode.
In access-uplink mode, the device allows for configuration of port in access-uplink mode and allow
for use of access-uplink SAPs for service configuration. In this mode, the system boots up with all
ports configured in access mode. User can modify the port mode to access-uplink after system boot
up but the software does not allow the mode to be set to network. The software allows the user to
configure services to use only either access SAPs or access uplink SAPs but not MPLS-based SDPs.
This mode is supported on 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T.
In network mode, the device allows for configuration of port in network mode and allow for use of
network IP interfaces and MPLS-based SDPs for service configuration. In this mode, the system
boots up with all ports configured in network mode. User can modify the port mode to access after
system boot up but the software does not allow the mode to be set to access-uplink. The software
allows the user to configure services to use only either access SAPs or MPLS-based SDPs but not
access uplink SAPs. This mode is supported on 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T.
Note: Ensure that service entities related to MPLS mode are not enabled when the device is
configured in Access-Uplink mode and vice-versa. The system does not enforce this.
NOTE: This command is not supported on 7210 SAS-X and 7210 SAS-R6 platforms. 7210 SAS-X
and 7210 SAS-R6 can only operate in network mode and no user configuration is required to achieve
this.
Default
network
Parameters
access-uplink — In access-uplink mode, the device allows for configuration of port in access-uplink
network — In network mode, the device allows for configuration of port in network mode and allows
usage of network IP interfaces and MPLS based SDPs for service configuration.
ping-address
Syntax ping-address ip-address
no ping-address
Context bof
Description
This command specifies the IP address which would be used for ping-test after the system boots.
The no form of the command removes the ping-address configuration. Setting a value of 0 also
removes the ping-address configuration.
