Virtual I/O Command Line
Interface

Overview

This section details the usage of the Command Line Interface (CLI) feature for the
EVIC and FVIC virtual I/O (VIO) modules. The CLI allows the user to perform remote
configuration and management tasks, which in many respects mirrors the
functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The VIO CLI is accessed via the rlogin command executed from the 9000 switch
CLI.

Commands and Functional Groups

The list of available commands can be accessed by typing list. To keep the list
short, the commands are grouped into functional groups, which are:
General:
General administrative commands
Deprecated:
Commands that have been deprecated.
The Deprecated group contains CLI commands that have been replaced or
are to be removed. Please use the new command where appropriate.
Linecard:
Commands for linecard (EVIC and FVIC) information.
Firmware:
Provides commands for updating the firmware via a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) (if using SSH to access the
Bridge Module). The switch has the ability to store the location of the firmware
files for future upgrades. Additionally, the Firmware functional group includes
commands for viewing the current firmware revisions and for changing the
boot image.
