Using Operating Commands

Loading a Command into Memory
Use the exec command to load or unload dynamically loadable Technician
Interface commands to and from memory.
Currently, you can load only the
telnet command into memory. The exec telnet
command is useful when booting a Bay Networks router over a network using
BootP. Using
exec telnet locks the telnet command into memory, in case the
connection to the BootP server fails.
Enter the following to load a command into memory or unload a command from
memory:
exec [-load | -unload]
<command_name>
After you load a command into memory, it remains there until you issue an
exec -unload command, or until you restart the Technician Interface.
Using the Ping Command
Use the ping command to test the reachability of a remote device running the IP,
IPX, OSI, VINES, AppleTalk, or Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN)
protocol. Although we use the term “ping” to see the action of testing the
reachability of a remote device, our implementation of ping is different for each
protocol. The following sections describe
• The procedure the router uses to ping a remote device running a given
protocol
• The syntax of the
ping command for each protocol
• The possible messages displayed when you issue the
ping command
Note: The ping command is not case-sensitive.
