Passport 4400 System Administration Overview

The Passport 4400 is designed to allow network administration and monitoring to take place using a workstation along with the Configurator web pages and/or Command Line Interface (CLI). The workstation can be either locally attached to the management port on the Passport 4400 base module or remotely connected via the Ethernet access port on the base module.

Note

Note: During periods of heavy user traffic, the Configurator or CLI may become unresponsive. This is normal, as user traffic by default has priority over Configurator or CLI requests. Should this occur, both tools will resume operation as soon as the user traffic load decreases.


Most system administration functions can be accessed using the Configurator web pages Administration feature or by using the set system command through the CLI.

The System Administration procedures available through the Configurator web pages include:

Enter the CLI command below to display the system administration options:

CLI> set system

administration

communityString

consolePort

firmware

masterClock

rollback

timeOfDay

traps

When the above parameters are configured, the values take effect immediately and remain in effect until the Passport 4400 is reset or power-cycled. If you want the configured values to remain in effect after a reset, you must save the configuration prior to cycling the power or performing a reset.

See Save the Configuration for the Configurator procedure for saving the configuration.
