1 INTRODUCTION
This reference manual describes the console commands for the SmartCell 6A000 and SmartCell ZX-250 ATM
switches. The two switches share a common console interface and are referred to in this manual as the SmartCell
6A000/ZX-250.
Audience and Scope
The manual is intended for network administrators and others responsible for maintaining the SmartCell
6A000/ZX-250. You do not need to read the manual from start to finish. You can use it to study the console commands
you use.
Definitions
The manual is organized alphabetically by switch attribute.
•The definition of a switch attribute is a function that manipulates the switch in a specific way. For
example, buselan.
•The definition of an operator is the active verb that makes the switch attribute perform a specific
task. For example, show.
•The definition of a command is the combination of an operator plus a switch attribute. For example,
show buselan.
Content
•Chapter 2,"SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Commands," gives definitions, descriptions, and examples of
all available commands on the SmartCell 6A000 and SmartCell ZX-250 switches.
•Chapter 3, “Boot Load Commands” gives definitions, descriptions, and examples of the low-level
boot load commands.
•Appendix A, "Acronyms," spells out the ATM acronyms used in this manual as well as those found
in the SmartCell 6A000 User Guide, SmartCell ZX-250 User Guide, and SmartCell ZX
Administrator Installation Guide.
•Appendix B, “Cause Codes,” describes the codes that appear in some console messages.
•Appendix C, "Technical Support," gives instructions for contacting Cabletron by telephone, fax,
electronic mail, and the World Wide Web.

1-2 SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual
Introduction
Sections
Read "Switch Attribute" for an example and definition of the various sections under each switch attribute as well as a
description of how the manual is organized.
Each section begins with a switch attribute heading (for example, "PVCByID"). Then come the details of relevant
operators, parameters, and commands.
Most sections have two parameter tables—one for input and another for output. The tables contain the parameter
names, descriptions, and definitions of their values, field sizes, and defaults.
The section ends with examples copied from the switch console for each console command for that switch attribute.
Conventions
The SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual uses the following conventions to convey instructions and
information:
•Information you enter (console commands and input parameters) is shown in bold Courier 10 font
and requires a space between operator and switch attribute.
•Input and output parameters are shown in [Square Brackets].
•Input definitions are shown in <anglebrackets>, as joined text and not case sensitive.
•Filter flags </s> (summary) or </d> (detail) are available with certain show commands and apply to
different information viewing levels. Filter flags require a space between them and the full
command. For example, show client /d. The/s option is the same as the standard default option. You
can find more details at the relevant switch attribute sections. See the following examples:
switch_prompt # show client

Abbreviations
Pay close attention to how switch attributes appear in each section heading. Switch attributes are not case sensitive. If
the heading states BUSStat, you must type busstat and not busstats, because the switch will not recognize the latter.
See the following example:
switch_prompt # show busstats
Command busstats not Valid for Action show
Type Help <command> for help
switch_prompt #
switch_prompt # show busstat
ELANNumber(ALL) :
BUS ELANs
============================================================================
ELAN ELAN000 Statistics
Out Octets : 0
Out Unicast : 0
switch_prompt #
You can, however, abbreviate the switch attribute to the extent that it is unique. For example, instead of typing show
porttrafficcongestion, you can just type show portt. The same can be done with operators. Instead of typing modify,
you can type mod. You should type at least three characters for any operator. For example,
switch_prompt # modify portmode
PortNumber(ALL) :
PortMode(SONET) :
switch_prompt #
switch_prompt # mod portm
PortNumber(ALL) :
PortMode(SONET) :
switch_prompt #
See "Switch Attribute" for an explanation of how the sections are organized.

Introduction
Help Options
If you want information on a specific command, type ?or help before typing the command and you will get a brief
description of the command and all its input parameters. If you want information about a specific input parameter while
executing a command, type ?or help after it appears on the console and it will give you details relating to that
parameter. For example,

Other Reference Options
You will find a list of acronyms, details about technical support, and an index at the back of this manual. The index
contains page references for all switch attribute sections, command parameters, operators, command descriptions and
command examples. There is also a table of commands at the end of this chapter. It lists all switch attributes by their
operator.
See the SmartCell 6A000 User Guide and SmartCell ZX-250 User Guide for details on how to use the switch. The user
guides contain information about switch configuration, maintenance, and SNMP (simple network management
protocol), as well as an overview of switch capabilities.

Introduction
Switch Attribute
This section—immediately below the heading—gives a brief description of what the switch attribute does. A detailed
description of each command is available under "Descriptions."
"X" under any of these headings indicates the switch attribute is applicable to that software type.
Parameters
Operators make the switch attribute work. Operators pertaining to each switch attribute are listed immediately below
the "Operators" heading. The command is the switch attribute combined with the operator. A list of possible switch
operators follows. You can use an alias when a word in parentheses appears. However, only the operators not in
parentheses are used in this manual.

Introduction
Operators
Parameters appear in the parameter tables in the same order and spelling as the switch shows them.
Most switch attribute descriptions show two tables—Input Parameter and Output Parameter. If the parameter has
already been described in the input parameter table, no reference to it appears in the output parameter table. The output
parameter table contains only parameters that have not been described in the input parameter table or that are written
very differently on output despite having the same meaning.

Introduction
Only one parameter table in a switch attribute section means either that switch attribute uses only input parameters or
that the output parameters are identical to the input parameters. The heading of the table indicates which is the case. If
the table heading says Input Parameter or Output Parameter, only input or output parameters apply to this switch
attribute. However, if the table heading says Parameter, the table contains both input and output parameters, and their
field names and definitions are identical.
Some output parameters show either (</d>) or (</s>) to indicate that a filter flag is available and that parameter is
available only when you type either /d (detailed information) or /s (summarized information) after the command. If
you do not type these command extensions, the parameters do not appear. Further explanations are given at relevant
sections. See "SVC" for an example.
The following table gives details about several of the most common parameters in this manual; a shorter description
of these parameters appears at the relevant sections within the manual:
With [IndexNumber], [PortNumber], [Client Number], and other parameters that default to"ALL", unless youspecify
a number at that input field, the switch gives ALL information pertaining to that parameter field.
Table 1-3 Parameter Table Explanation
Parameter Description Value/Field Size Default
[PortNumber] Port number on the switch. Port
numbers can be any of the physical
ports on the local switch. Specifying
"ALL" causes all related values for the
ports to be affected by the command.
Port B4 is the CPU port. The
SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 reserve
this port foruse by the CPU forlocal
servers and clients. Therefore, B4
port is usually not listed. Only ALL,
A1-A4, B1-B3, C1-C4, and D1-D4
are listed.
ALL or A1
[ATM Address] ATM address assigned to the port,
client, or server according to ATM
Forum specifications.
13-20 bytes. Hex-based,
dot-decimal format separated by
colons/
59 characters
usually no default
[ClientNumber] Number of the client. Each client on
the switch must have a unique client
number. Client numbers are shared
between LAN emulation (LANE)
clients and IP/ATM (IP over ATM)
clients.
0 through 127/
Up to 3 characters ALL

Introduction
Descriptions
The following is an example of a description section. It is located under "BUSELAN." Note the detailed description
of the command following the table.
Examples
Examples are copied exactly from the switch console to show you what you should see. They appear at the end ofeach
section in the same order as the operators are listed at the start of each section. There is no significance to the order in
which the examples appear, except that show usually appears after the other command examples to demonstrate how
a command can change a characteristic of the switch. Unless they fit on the current page, examples usually begin at
the top of a page. The location of every command example appears in the index under "Examples".
Examples show how you must enter console commands at the switch prompt (indicated in bold - modify buselan
(console command)). The other bold text (1, 103, pvc, 802.5, 4544) is the input parameters that modify this switch
attribute (BUSELAN). The text in brackets (immediately following the parameter field - for example,
ELANType(802.3)) indicates the current default. See the following examples.
switch_prompt # modify buselan(console command)
ELANNumber(0) :103(input entry)
ELANName(ELAN102) :elan103(input entry)
ConnectMethod(SVC) :pvc(input entry)
