Overview of the BCC Interface
117383-B Rev. 00
1-9
Interface, physical -- Circuitry and digital logic associated with the
interconnection between a physical network medium (such as Ethernet) and a
higher-layer protocol entity (such as IP).
Interface, logical -- An addressable entity for originating and terminating
connections across an IP network.
Protocol -- A configurable object that typically provides data link, network,
transport, session, application, or management layer services on a network device.
A protocol on a router may provide services box-wide (across all slots, such as
global IP) or on a per-interface basis (such as interface IP) on a router platform.
System commands -- Enable you to perform system administration tasks from any
command-line prompt. For a complete list of system commands available at any
level of the BCC interface, enter
? at any BCC command-line prompt.
Using Abbreviations and Acronyms
Words that represent objects, parameters, and certain parameter values for
command input or output are
• Industry-accepted words or standard abbreviations and acronyms
• Standard Bay Networks abbreviations and acronyms
For command input, the BCC interface allows you to shorten existing object and
parameter names, for example,
e or eth for ethernet. This is the “minimum to
distinguish” feature of the BCC interface.
Example
Three objects that begin with “t” (tftp, telnet, and token-ring) exist at the root
(box) level of the AN/BN router configuration tree. So that the BCC knows which
of these objects you want to configure, you must minimally enter at least two
letters (for example,
te for telnet) at the box# prompt.
