Switching Commands

This command checks if another computer is on the network and listens for connections. To use 
this command, configure the switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and target 
devices must have the ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can be pinged 
from any IP workstation with which the switch is connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), 
as long as there is a physical path between the switch and the workstation. The terminal interface 
sends, three pings to the target station.

This command resets the switch without powering it off. Reset means that all network connections 
are terminated and the boot code executes. The switch uses the stored configuration to initialize 
the switch. You are prompted to confirm that the reset should proceed. A successful reset is 
indicated by the LEDs on the switch.

 

This command uploads and downloads to/from the switch. Local URLs can be specified using tftp 
or xmodem. The following can be specified as the source file for uploading from the switch: 
startup configuration (nvram:startup-config), error log (nvram:errorlog), message log 
(nvram:msglog), trap log (nvram:traplog) and configuration script(nvram:configscript 
<scriptname>). A URL is specified for the destination. 

The command can also be used to download the startup configuration, code image or configuration 
script by specifying the source as a URL and destination as nvram:startup-config, .system:image 
or nvram:configscript respectively.

The <scriptname> is the name of the script file to be uploaded. During download of a 
configuration script the copy command will validate the script being downloaded. In case of any 
error, the command will list all the line at the end of validation process and confirm from user for 
copying the script file.
