Managing the Hub
Console Command Reference
Managing the Hub
To enable (set to ON) or disable (set to OFF) a hub port. The initial
setting for all ports is enabled (ON). You can use the Status command to check
the current status of all the ports. The
<port>
parameter can be:
■ twisted-pair port number
■ XCVR or XC for the AUI port
■ ALL or AL for all ports
Example 1: P0 7 OFF (Disables port 7)
Example 2: P0 AL ON (Enables all ports)
To reset the hub and run a hub self-test. This command also resets all
the network statistic counters, and the time since the last reset. The current
configuration is unchanged. The hub is not accessible from network manage-
ment software while it is being tested, but it continues to repeat data. If the
hub is faulty, at the end of the reset process, the Fault LED will stay on.
This command also terminates the console session (and disconnects the
phone line if you are using a modem to access the console) and resets the
console port baud rate to be automatically sensed. To restart the console
session, first re-establish the phone link (if used), then press [Enter] several
times for the prompt.
Allows you to invoke options to improve the hub’s ability to tolerate network
problems resulting from excessive collisions. The configurable options are:
■ Intelligent Partition Recovery
■ Late Collision Monitoring
By default, the robustness features are off. The Intelligent Partition Recovery
option makes it difficult for a problem port to automatically re-enable itself
to send traffic on the network.
