Enhancements to LCM Commands

2.4 BASIC LCM COMMANDS

To manage the SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27TX using LCM, you first must 

connect the switch to an ASCII terminal or terminal emulator.

To use LCM, begin by pressing the Enter key several times to get the LCM 

prompt (

ELS10-27>

). 

2.4.1  Help

Displays the menu of available commands. Help can also be displayed by typing 

a question mark (?). 

Telnet support allows you to telnet to the device and gain access to LCM. The 

device allows 4 sessions. The only password for telnet is the Read-Write 

community name for the device and this name allows full access. You are not 

allowed to modify passwords via a Telnet session. If an IP address is added or 

modified using Telnet, the new address will not take affect until the next reboot.

The Read-Write community name is not used to make modifications to the 

configuration. Reading the configuration can be accomplished without 

knowledge of the Read-Write community name. There is no support for the 

Read-Only community name. Any name other than the Read-Write Community 

name will allow for Read-Only access.

2.4.2  Erase

Entering 

erase

 to erase the current SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27TX 

configuration returns all parameters to the default values. You will be prompted 

to complete the command. 

2.4.3  Exit or Logout

This command logs you out of LCM. (The 

exit

 command is functionally 

equivalent to the 

logout 

command.) 

NOTE

You must type “YES” and reboot the system to implement the 

change. If only “Y” is entered, the change will not be implemented.
