Technician Interface; Typical Network Applications - Bay Networks 5380 User Manual

Using Model 5380 Ethernet and Model 5580 Token Ring Routers

Technician Interface

The Technician Interface resides in the router operating system kernel and
automatically loads when you boot the router. You access the Technician Interface
through the Model 5000 chassis service port. The interface scripts let you display
information about various protocols and network services and enable or disable
protocols, circuits, lines, and services.
The Technician Interface is a command-line interface that requires knowledge of
command syntax, the management information base (MIB), and the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Refer to Using the Technician Interface
Software (router software) or Getting Started with the Technician Interface
Software (BayStream software) for more information about how to use it.
