Technician Interface Guidelines
The Technician Interface is a command-line interface that Nortel Networks
support technicians can use to troubleshoot and configure Nortel Networks
devices.
We provide this section as an interim supplement to one or more of the following
Technician Interface books:
• Using Technician Interface Scripts
• Using Technician Interface Software
• Writing Technician Interface Scripts
This information will appear in the Release Notes until we integrate it in to the
next released version of the associated Technician Interface book.
Using Scripts and Aliases to Dynamically Configure a Router
Use of rapid-fire scripts or aliases to dynamically set a router’s configuration via
the MIBs can put the router into a corrupted state and cause connectivity issues.
When you use the Technician Interface to launch scripts or aliases to configure the
router be sure to include pauses (one to two seconds) to allow sufficient time for
the router to make the required changes to the MIBs.
Diagnostics On/Off Option for ARN, Passport 2340, and Passport 5430
For ARN, Passport 2430 and Passport 5430 platforms only, the Technician
Interface
diags
command supports an option to enable or disable diagnostics,
effective the next time you cycle power on the router. Disabling the diagnostics
results in a faster boot time, but leaves the hardware components unverified. The
syntax for this option is as follows:
diags
[
- on|off
] [
<slot_id>
]
Setting Default Route Cost Using the Technician Interface
When the routing table does not contain the route to a particular destination
address, the router looks for a default route. As it does for any other route, the
routing table either acquires the default route dynamically (through a routing
protocol), or you can enter the default route statically.
