Chapter 3 Operation Using CLI Introduction This chapter describes the procedures for using the CLI to monitor the module. The procedures used in this chapter apply if you are using the Prisma II ICIM2 to monitor the module. For an overview of module operating features, see Module Introduction (on page 1).
Using the CLI Using the CLI CLI Overview The command-line interface (CLI) to the ICIM supports monitoring and control of the ICIM domain, which includes the ICIM itself, the host chassis, and all other modules installed in the host chassis and other daisy-chained chassis. The CLI is designed for use by craft operators as well as by remote monitoring systems.

Using the CLI Entering Commands - Non-Modal Format A non-modal command is entered all at once, on a single command line. For example, the alarm command entered above could have been entered as follows: CLI> module chassis 1 slot 6 alarm exit <Enter> No active alarms found Success! CLI>...
Page 60
Chapter 3 Operation Using CLI Usage Guidelines CLI commands, unlike login passwords, are insensitive to case. For example, the keywords Set, set, and SET all have the same meaning in CLI. If a particular action requires modeoptions that are not included in the ...
Using the CLI The first line in this example changes from CLI mode to Module mode and specifies chassis 20, any (*) slot. On the next line, the prompt has changed to reflect the new mode and chassis specification. The show command entered at this prompt, followed by the arguments monitor and outpwr, specifies that the response should include only those modules for which outpwr is a monitored parameter.
Chapter 3 Operation Using CLI Shortcut Description Performs a logout when typed at the beginning of a line Displays the current input as received by the command interpreter; used for testing line noise Moves the text cursor to a previous command line (limited) Cancels the current input line Note: While useful for craft operators, avoid using abbreviations and shortcuts in network management system commands, as they are a potential source of error.

Page 72
Chapter 3 Operation Using CLI Important: To avoid possible system disruption, broadcast set commands are not supported. This means that the set control command can only be applied to one module (chassis and slot number) at a time. If a specific chassis and slot number are not specified in advance, the CLI interpreter will disallow the command.
Page 73
Module Commands This response shows that the OutPwr, LasTemp, LasBias, and InPwr alarms all have majorlow and majorhigh parameters. However, only InPwr, OutPwr, and LasBias can be changed, as LasTemp is of type 3 rather than 1, 2, or 7. The following sample dialog shows how a craft operator would set the majorhigh parameter of outpwr to 35°C, and then confirm the change.

Boot Dialog for ICIM/SNMP Configuration During a flash operation, the low-level parameters can be changed, including community strings, port number for traps, IP address, etc. The procedures below initially tell the ICIM that it is to be updated (flashed), whereupon it presents a configuration dialog. After new values are entered and saved, the ICIM is told to not update the program and proceed to normal ICIM operations.
Below is an example dialog where one of the parameters (Trap Community) is changed. Any of the parameters can be changed, although some should be changed only with the advice of a Cisco Services representative. Note: Hardware parameters (serial channel baud rate, serial number, and board Ethernet address) should not be changed.
