Preface
This guide describes how to use Technician Interface scripts to display statistical
and configuration information about Bay Networks® routers and BayStream™
platforms.
Before You Begin
Before using this guide to run Technician Interface commands on a router or
BayStream platform, you must:
•
Install the router or BayStream platform.
•
Use one of the following methods to establish a connection to the router or
BayStream platform:
-- Connect the serial port of an ASCII terminal device (for example, a DEC
VT100) directly to the console port of the router or BayStream platform.
-- Connect the serial port of a workstation or PC directly to the console port
of the router or BayStream platform. (Run ASCII terminal emulation
software on the workstation or PC.)
-- Dial in to the console port of the router or BayStream platform from a
workstation or PC running ASCII terminal emulation software. (This
alternative requires one modem locally attached to your workstation or
PC, and another modem locally attached to the console port of the router
or BayStream platform you want to access.)
-- Establish a Telnet (in-band) connection to the router or BayStream
platform.
303560-A Rev 00
xiii
Using Technician Interface Scripts
Note: Before you can access the Technician Interface using Telnet, the router
or BayStream platform must have at least one assigned IP address. Although
there is no limit to the number of Telnet connections that you can make to the
Technician Interface, we recommend that you establish no more than one
Telnet session per router or BayStream platform.
Text Conventions
This guide uses the following text conventions:
angle brackets (< >)
Indicate that you choose the text to enter based on the
description inside the brackets. Do not type the
brackets when entering the command.
Example: If the command syntax is:
ping , you enter:
ping 192.32.10.12
bold text
Indicates text that you need to enter and command
names and options.
Example: Enter show ip {alerts | routes}
Example: Use the dinfo command.
braces ({})
Indicate required elements in syntax descriptions
where there is more than one option. You must choose
only one of the options. Do not type the braces when
entering the command.
Example: If the command syntax is:
show ip {alerts | routes}, you must enter either:
show ip alerts or show ip routes.
brackets ([ ])
Indicate optional elements in syntax descriptions. Do
not type the brackets when entering the command.
Example: If the command syntax is:
show ip interfaces [-alerts], you can enter either:
show ip interfaces or show ip interfaces -alerts.
xiv
303560-A Rev 00
Preface
ellipsis points (. . . )
Indicate that you repeat the last element of the
command as needed.
Example: If the command syntax is:
ethernet/2/1 [ ] . . ., you enter
ethernet/2/1 and as many parameter-value pairs as
needed.
italic text
Indicates file and directory names, new terms, book
titles, and variables in command syntax descriptions.
Where a variable is two or more words, the words are
connected by an underscore.
Example: If the command syntax is:
show at
valid_route is one variable and you substitute one value
for it.
screen text
Indicates system output, for example, prompts and
system messages.
Example: Set Bay Networks Trap Monitor Filters
separator ( > )
Shows menu paths.
Example: Protocols > IP identifies the IP option on the
Protocols menu.
vertical line ( | )
Separates choices for command keywords and
arguments. Enter only one of the choices. Do not type
the vertical line when entering the command.
Example: If the command syntax is:
show ip {alerts | routes}, you enter either:
show ip alerts or show ip routes, but not both.

Chapter 1
Introducing Technician Interface Scripts
This chapter provides an overview of the Technician Interface scripts and explains
how to run them. It also describes how to:
•
Load scripts.
•
Set up scripts.
•
Use script commands.
•
Use the menu utility.
This guide assumes that you have a working knowledge of the Bay Networks
Technician Interface. For complete information about this router management
tool, see Using Technician Interface Software. For information on how to write
your own Technician Interface scripts, see Writing Technician Interface Scripts.

Using Technician Interface Scripts
What Are Technician Interface Scripts?
The Technician Interface show/monitor and enable/disable scripts are programs
that enable you to view and use information stored in the Bay Networks
Management Information Base (MIB). You use scripts to display statistical and
configuration information about various router services, and to enable or disable
those services.
Script Types
Most Technician Interface scripts run from a .bat (batch) file.
The system loads a specific .bat file into active memory when you enter a scripts
command such as show appn directory statistics. The system software supports
one .bat file for each router protocol or service. Each .bat file contains the routines
for all script subcommand options for a protocol or service. The routine called by
each subcommand generates and prints (to the router console) statistics that reveal
a particular view of that protocol or service.
As an alternative to entering show/enable/disable commands at the Technician
Interface prompt, you can also access protocol-specific menus from the scripts
main menu. You enter (choose by number) a protocol/service submenu from the
scripts main menu. From a submenu, you can access all scripts options for a
protocol or service without entering commands. All scripts menus exist as *.mnu
files you install during initial configuration of each router. To save file space,
install only the .bat and .mnu files that pertain to the protocols or services you
want to support on each router.
Other Technician Interface scripts are programs embedded within the router
software image. The router software currently includes embedded scripts for the
following services:
• CSMACD
• SNMP
• FR
• SYNC
• FTP
• TCP
• IP
• TELNET
• MOSPF
• TFTP
• RIP
1-2
303560-A Rev 00
Introducing Technician Interface Scripts
These scripts run more efficiently than their batch file counterparts. You enter at
the Technician Interface prompt the command for any script, regardless of type
(batch or embedded) in the same way, as follows:
{show|enable|disable} {} {}
Script Command Categories
The system software supports scripts in the following command categories:
show
Displays configuration, state, and statistical information
about a router service. This command helps you isolate
problems such as circuits that are not working, packets that
are not being forwarded, and so on. It uses the show.bat file.
monitor
Displays the same information as the show command but
refreshes the display periodically so you can observe trends
and changes. Since you can use monitor in place of show,
this manual does not describe syntax for the monitor
command. This command uses the monitor.bat file.
enable/disable
Enables or disables system features, protocols, drivers, or
individual circuits. These commands use the enable.bat and
disable.bat files.
menu
Provides a menu interface to the scripts. Also provides a
menu-building feature that enables you to create custom
menus. This command uses menu.bat and various .mnu files.
Each show command supports a subset of commands that display statistical and
configuration information about a particular service or driver running on the
router.
303560-A Rev 00
1-3
Using Technician Interface Scripts
Some show commands present a broad or collective view of router status and
resources. For example,
show circuits
Displays information about all drivers running on the
router. You can use this command to display information
about all circuits without needing to know the driver that
runs on each circuit.
show drivers
Displays information about the configuration of all link
modules in the router.
show hardware
Displays backplane, configuration file, image, memory,
PROM, and slot information about the router’s hardware.
show protocols
Displays information about the protocols configured on
every slot in the router.
show state
Displays information about the current state of services
running on the router.
show system
Displays information about router memory, buffers, drivers,
and configured protocols.
Note: You can abbreviate command names, using the first three characters of
the command name, as long as the abbreviation uniquely identifies the
command.
To establish the search path used to find the script files, use the run setpath
command. It defines the aliases that integrate scripts into the Technician Interface
command set. The section “Setting Up Scripts” explains the run setpath
command, which uses the setpath.bat script.

Introducing Technician Interface Scripts
Installing .bat and .mnu Files
You can use the Bay Networks implementation of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to
install .bat version scripts and .mnu script menu files on a memory card in the
router. FTP enables you to install more than one script at a time.
Before installing any scripts on a router:
•
Log in to the router. (Refer to Chapter 1 of Using Technician Interface
Software if you need more information on login procedures.)
•
Enable the FTP service on the router.
•
Run the dir command to verify that you have sufficient contiguous freespace
on the NVFS volume reserved for scripts and their associated menu files.
(Refer to Chapter 4 of Using Technician Interface Software if you need more
information on how to run the dir command.)
•
Run the compact command on the NVFS volume reserved for scripts and
their associated menu files. (Refer to Chapter 8 of Using Technician Interface
Software if you need more information on how to run the compact
command.)
To install all the .bat scripts and .mnu menu files located in a directory on a UNIX
workstation, change to that directory using the cd command. Then enter the
following commands at the UNIX command line prompt:
$: ftp
Name: Manager
Password:
ftp> cd :
ftp> bin
ftp> prompt
ftp> mput *.bat
ftp> mput *.mnu
The prompt command disables the prompt that asks whether you want to transfer
each file.
303560-A Rev 00

Using Technician Interface Scripts
Note: You must have Manager access to write to an NVFS volume using the
Bay Networks implementation of FTP.
This procedure installs all of the .bat and .mnu files on a file system volume in the
router. To conserve space on a router’s local file system, load only scripts for the
protocols and drivers you need to run on that router.
If you want to use the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to install .bat and
.mnu files one at a time, refer to Chapters 4 and 5 of Using Technician Interface
Software.
Setting Up Scripts
Once you log in to a Technician Interface session on a router, you can enter any
embedded script commands at the command line prompt without any additional
preparations. However, before you run any .bat version scripts, designate a default
file system volume, as shown in the following example:
dir 2:
Next, define the search path and alias definitions for your .bat and .mnu version
script files by using the run setpath command. The search path is a list of volume
IDs you want the system to search for any script file. There are two ways to
specify a search path, as shown in the following examples.
Example 1 -- Entering the volume IDs on the command line
run setpath "2:;3:;4:"

Please enter the volume ID that contains the script files.
More than one volume may be entered; each separated by a
semi-colon.
Format: :[;: ...]
Example: 2:;3:;4:
Enter volume(s)[2:]: 3:
You can also use the Manager or User autoscript features to automatically run the
setpath.bat script (the run setpath command). Specify a file system search path,
Manager or User script file, and logout mechanism using following
wfSerialPortEntry (router serial port) attributes:
•
Login Script Search Path
•
Manager’s Login Script
•
User’s Login Script
•
Force User Logout
You can set up separate Manager and User autoscript files for login. The User
autoscript contains a switch that enables you to lock the user into the script. With
the switch enabled, the autoscript automatically logs out a user that tries to break
out of the script. For more information on the autoscript feature, see Chapter 2 of
Using Technician Interface Software.
