PIng ip address
Syntax Description
ip address Specifies the IP address of the system connected to an interface on the Cisco router.
Default

None

Command Mode

System or profile mode

Usage Guidelines

The router generates a ping packet with the source address of the profile from which it was sent. If the destination can be reached, the round trip delay is determined and reported. If the destination cannot be reached, a no response message is generated.

The ping command automatically tries three times to reach the destination.

Example

The following example illustrates a successful ping:

Host> ping 172.16.2.1
start sending : round trip time is 40 msec.

The following example illustrates an unsuccessful ping:

Host> ping 172.16.2.1
start sending : no response
start sending : no response
start sending : no response

set baudrate

To configure the baud rate for the console port, use the set baudrate command. This command configures the terminal emulation software.

SEt BAudrate 300 | 1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400
Syntax Description
300 Configures the console port for 300 baud.
1200 Configures the console port for 1200 baud.
2400 Configures the console port for 2400 baud.
4800 Configures the console port for 4800 baud.
9600 Configures the console port for 9600 baud.
19200 Configures the console port for 19200 baud.
38400 Configures the console port for 38400 baud.
Default

9600

Command Mode

System mode

Example

The following example configures the console port for 2400 baud:

Host> set baudrate 2400
Related Command

reboot

set date

To set the current date, use the set date command.

SEt DAte MM/DD/YYYY
Syntax Description
MM A two-digit number from 01 to 12.
DD A two-digit number from 01 to 31.
YYYY A four-digit number from 1994 to 2020.
Default

The default date is 01/01/1995.

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

You must reset the date every time the router is booted. The date can be seen during logging.

Example

The following example configures the current date in the router:

Host> set date 12/09/1996

set default

To set all variable parameters to their default values, use the set default command.

SEt DEfault
Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Default

None

Command Mode

System or profile mode

Usage Guidelines

The set default command resets all parameters to their default values, deletes the user-defined profiles, sets the Auto_Config flag to FALSE, and reboots the router. Setting the Auto_Config flag to FALSE triggers the auto configuration procedure in the power-up operation.

The auto-config feature allows the router to obtain the configuration file from a remote server using BOOTP protocol. Upon power-up, the router examines the Auto_Config flag stored in NVRAM. If the Auto_Config flag is FALSE, the router initiates a BOOTP to request an IP address from the server.

If the server finds a matching MAC address from BOOTPTAB, a UNIX server, the server returns a client profile that includes an IP address and configuration filename. The router initiates a TFTP client request to the server to download the configuration file.

After successfully loading the configuration file, the router sets the Auto_Config flag to TRUE in NVRAM. In a subsequent power-up operation, if the Auto_Config flag is TRUE, the router does not initiate BOOTP to request a configuration file from the server.

This should be done on the LAN segment (Ethernet interface) only. If this operation fails, the Auto_Config flag remains as FALSE. If there is a WAN/PPP connection established, this process would be triggered repeatedly on the WAN link.

Example

The following example configures the router to default values:

Host> set default

set echo

To enable and disable terminal echo of keyboard entries, use the set echo command.

SEt ECho ON | OFf
Syntax Description
on Enables terminal echo.
off Disables terminal echo.
Default

Terminal echo is enabled.

Command Mode

System mode

Example

The following example disables terminal echo for the Cisco router:

Host> set echo off

set ipx trace

To convert IPX packets to hexadecimal values for troubleshooting purposes, use the set ipx trace command.

SEt IPX TRace length | OFf | ON
Syntax Description
length Can be from 1 to 65,535.
on Enables IPX packet conversion to hexadecimal numbers.
off Disables IPX packet conversion to hexadecimal numbers.
Default

Off

Command Mode

Profile mode

Examples

The following example enables IPX trace and sets packet length to 4096:

Host> set ipx trace 4096 on

The following example disables IPX trace:

Host> set ipx trace off

set loopback

To create a loop from the router toward the ISDN line, use the set loopback command. This command is used with the test command.

SEt [connection] LOOpback ON | OFf
Syntax Description
connection (Optional) Specifies a connection number on which to create a loop. If no connection number is specified, a loop is created on the connection associated with the current profile. If the router cannot determine the connection number from the profile, an error message will be displayed.
on Enables a loop.
off Disables a loop.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

System or profile mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in system mode with the connection-number argument, or in profile mode. This command is used for troubleshooting purposes. Use a show connection command to display which profiles have a loopback.

Example

The following example creates a loopback on connection 14:

Host> set 14 loopback on
Related Command

show connection

set screenlength

To set the maximum number of lines to display on your terminal, use the set screen length command. This command configures the terminal emulation software.

SEt SCreenlength lines
Syntax Description

Default

20

Command Mode

System mode

Example

The following example configures the terminal to display 30 lines:

Host> set screenlength 30

set system name

To configure the router's name as the system prompt and for PPP authentication, use the set system name command.

SEt SYstemname [systemname]
Syntax Description
systemname (Optional) Name used as the system prompt. The system name is case sensitive and can be from 1 to 64 characters. The system name is used as this router's identity when making PPP connections. It is the user name when making a connection to your ISP. If no system name is entered, the system name is blank.
Default

No system name

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

The system name is used as the router's identity when making PPP connections, if there is no PPP client name defined with the set ppp clientname command at the profile level. If a PPP client name is defined at the profile level, this name is not used for PPP authentication, but it is retained as the system name. To delete the system name, enter the systemname command without an argument.

Example

The following example configures the router with the system name host:

> set systemname Host
Host>
Related Command

set ppp clientname

set time

To set the current time, use the set time command.

SEt TIme HH:MM:SS

SWL (software load)

To download new software or configuration files through the configuration port or across a TCP/IP network using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), use the swl command.

SWl [TFTP] [CONFIG] [ipaddress] [filename]
Syntax Description
TFTP Use when loading software across a TCP/IP network using TFTP.
CONFIG Use when loading a configuration file across a TCP/IP network using TFTP.
ipaddress The TFTP server IP address specified when the router acts as a TFTP client during software download.
filename The name of the software image file when the router acts as a TFTP client during software download. The filename should include the directory path if the file is not in the server default directory.
Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

If ipaddress and filename fields are not entered, the system invokes the TFTP server instead of the TFTP client. The TFTP client and TFTP server implementation is based on RFC 1350. TFTP timeout interval and transfer size options are not implemented.

Entering the swl tftp command on the router causes it to enter TFTP server mode and wait for client requests. The TFTP server mode times out in one minute. If the transfer is successful, the router reboots with the new software, and the new configuration (if a new configuration file was loaded).

On the TFTP client machine, you must use binary file transfer mode to transfer the new software file. The remote filename must be set to CODE.

You need terminal emulation software to load new software.

Example

Following is an example of the swl for a console upgrade:

Host> swl

To load software with the swl command, take the following steps:

Step 1 Connect the serial cable from your terminal to the configuration port on the Cisco router.

Step 2 On the terminal emulation software, set the baud rate to 9600.

Step 3 Turn on power to the Cisco router.

Step 4 In the terminal emulation software, enter the swl command:

Step 5 Enter y in response to the prompt:

Step 6 At the prompt, enter one of the load rates listed (but do not press the Return key), and make sure that the load rate you choose is supported by your terminal emulation software:

See Table 2-5 for approximate software load times according to baud rate.


Step 7 Change the baud rate of the terminal emulation software to the appropriate download rate.

Step 8 Select ASCII on the terminal emulation software you are using.

Step 9 From the terminal, load the file containing the new software by following the prompts from your terminal emulation program. The file is sent as an ASCII (text) file to the router. The LINE LED should blink throughout the loading process.

Step 10 When the software has been downloaded, you are prompted to change the terminal emulator baud rate to 9600.

When the load is successful, the LINE LED turns off and the RDY LED should be on. If the load was not successful, refer to Table 2-6 for symptoms and solutions.



Table  2-5: Approximate Software Load Time
Load Rate (Baud) Approximate Time (Minutes)
2400 48
9600 12
19200 6
38400 3
57600 2
115200 1

Table  2-6: Software Load Command Troubleshooting
Symptom Probable Cause/Solution
Load takes significantly longer than the approximate time listed in Table 2-5. The terminal emulation program's interline and intercharacter delays are not set to zero.
The terminal displays unrecognizable text after the load is completed. The terminal has not been reset to 9600 baud. Reset the terminal any time after loading the new software. After changing the terminal baud rate, press Return to gain access to the standard prompt (>).
Two or more LEDs are blinking. Incorrect configuration of the personal computer's COM port or a defective console cable. Press Escape on the terminal and try to load the software again.

The following is an example of a TFTP file transfer of an image. In this case, the router is the server and the workstation is the client.

Before beginning this procedure, configure your workstation to operate as a TFTP client. In server mode, the workstation only accepts put requests for the file.

Step 1 Confirm that the new software and, optionally, the new configuration file are installed on the client machine.

Step 2 Confirm that the router can be reached from the client machine by pinging the router:

Caution When the swl tftp command is entered, the existing software is erased. If a catastrophic event, such as a power failure, occurs before the transfer of the CODE file has been completed, the router must be initialized through the configuration port.

Step 3 Enter the software load command to configure the Cisco router for TFTP server mode:

test

To generate test packets, use the test command.

TEst [connection] [WAn | ALl] [STop | REsult | ETher] RAte pps [MInpkts bytes MAxpkts bytes]
Syntax Description
connection Number of the connections where test packets will be generated.
wan Generates test packets on the ISDN line. Packets should be sent to a WAN switch that has a loop enabled with the set loop command. Compare number of sent packets to number of received packets.
all Generates test packets on both the ISDN line and on the LAN.
stop (Optional) Stops all test packets from being generated.
result (Optional) Displays results of last completed test.
ether (Optional) Generates test packets on the LAN and compares number of sent packets to the number of received packets.
rate (Optional) Rate in packets per second (pps) at which test packets are generated. The rate can be between 1 and 100; the default value is 10.
minpkts (Optional) Minimum size (in bytes) of test packets. The size can be between 60 and 1514; the default value is 60.

Packets are generated in incrementally larger sizes, starting with the minimum size and ending with the maximum size. After the maximum length is reached, the next packet is the minimum size.

maxpkts (Optional) Maximum size in bytes of test packets. The size can be between 60 and 1514; the default value is 1514.
Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for troubleshooting purposes.

Example

The following example enables a test on the ISDN line and the Ethernet with a minimum packet size of 255 bytes and a maximum packet size of 1024 bytes:

Host> test all min 255 max 1024

upload

To send a set of ASCII strings containing the current configuration to the terminal, use the upload command.

UPload
Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

You can use the captured file to reconfigure the router after loading new software, or to configure multiple routers with the same parameters.

When downloading the file, set the ASCII download for one second so that each line is correctly processed.

Password and secret information is not output for security reasons. If you are reloading a configuration into a router for reconfiguration, all password and secret information must be reentered manually.

Use the set echo off command to prevent the upload command from being captured in the file.
