Chapter 1 Overview of the BCC Interface The BCC is a command-line interface for configuring Bay Networks devices. After logging on to a device, you access the BCC by entering the bcc command at the Technician Interface prompt (Figure 1-1). Technician Interface Login Access the BCC BCC BCC0001B Figure 1-1. 117383-B Rev.
PAGE 22
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) From the bcc> prompt, you can • Run any system command not classified as “Technician Interface only.” (See Appendix A, “System Commands.”) • Use configuration mode to perform tasks such as creating or deleting IP interfaces on the router. Enter BCC configuration mode by entering the config command at the bcc> prompt.
PAGE 23
Overview of the BCC Interface Configurable Objects Refer to the Release Notes for the most up-to-date information about services you can configure using the BCC on any (AN/ANH, ARN, ASN, BCN, BLN, or System 5000) platform. You can obtain a complete hierarchical listing of all objects configurable on a device by entering the help tree -all command at any BCC prompt.
PAGE 24
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) Optional parameters -- The set of parameters for which you can optionally specify customized values, replacing any default values set by the system. For example, an optional parameter of an Ethernet interface is bofl-retries. This parameter normally has a system default value of 5 (5 retries), but you can change this to another numeric value. BCC instance identifier -- Uniquely identifies a single instance of an object configured on a Bay Networks device.
PAGE 25
Overview of the BCC Interface You create a customized configuration by using BCC commands to create new objects, and to modify or delete objects in an existing configuration. You begin at root level in BCC configuration mode and navigate to (or create new) objects in the device configuration tree. For example, with a BLN router, you can use BCC commands to add a new physical interface (such as Ethernet) on box, add IP to the Ethernet interface, and then add RIP to IP on that interface.
PAGE 26
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) The BCC indicates context by displaying a context-sensitive prompt in configuration mode. The prompt identifies the configured object at your current working location or level within the configuration hierarchy.
PAGE 27
Overview of the BCC Interface Platform Interface/Port Numbering AN/ANH / • = Interface type: ethernet, token-ring, serial (etc.) • number always = 1 (AN/ANH is a 1-slot device) • numbering starts with connector 1.) Example: ethernet slot 1 connector 2 This is an Ethernet interface configured on AN/ANH connector 2, which exists on an Ethernet adapter module. (Connectors 1 and 2 are on the base.
PAGE 28
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) Platform Interface/Port Numbering BN / • = Interface type: ethernet, token-ring, serial (etc.) • number = 2 to 5 (BLN) or 1 to 14 (BCN). • numbering starts with connector 1 on each slot (per media type). Example: ethernet slot 8 connector 3 This is an Ethernet interface configured on connector 3 of slot 8 of a BCN router.
PAGE 29
Overview of the BCC Interface 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.

Chapter 2 Learning to Use the BCC Interface This chapter provides primary instructions on how to use the BCC interface to complete any of the following tasks: Topic Page Entering and Exiting the BCC Interface page 2-1 Using the BCC Configuration Hierarchy page 2-3 Navigating in Configuration Mode page 2-7 Displaying Online Help page 2-12 Using the BCC Help File page 2-22 Displaying Configuration Data page 2-23 Entering and Exiting the BCC Interface To access the BCC interface on a Bay Network
PAGE 32
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) To enter and exit the BCC: 1. Access the Technician Interface on the router by entering the Manager or User command at the Login prompt that appears on your Telnet or console display. After you start the BCC interface, the Manager login allows you to enter any system command. A Manager login also allows, by default, read-write access to the device configuration.
PAGE 33
Learning to Use the BCC Interface Caution: When you enter BCC configuration commands with read-write (Manager) access privileges, you immediately modify the device configuration. This is equivalent to dynamic mode configuration with the Bay Networks Site Manager graphical user interface. 4. When you finish using BCC configuration mode, enter the exit command at any prompt. box# bcc> 5. exit When you finish using the BCC, enter the exit command at the bcc> prompt.

Learning to Use the BCC Interface Note the tree-like hierarchy of this configuration, where • Box contains global objects IP, Telnet, TFTP, and SNMP, plus the physical interface objects ethernet/2/1, ethernet/2/2, and serial/3/1. • Global IP contains the ARP, RIP, and OSPF global objects.
PAGE 36
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) Each semicolon in the path marks a transition from one level to the next branch level in the device configuration tree. The semicolon is also equivalent to a Return key entered at the end of a command, effectively starting a new command line. Displaying Context In BCC configuration mode, use the pwc (print working context) command to display the path from root (box) level to your current level in the device configuration tree. For example: rip/192.168.125.
PAGE 37
Learning to Use the BCC Interface The prompt does not show the full path to the current object from root level. The prompt shows only the object that terminates the entire path from root (box) level. To obtain the full path, use the pwc command. Navigating in Configuration Mode Using BCC configuration commands, you can • Move back to a previous context or level. • Move back to root (box) level. • Move forward to the next level.
PAGE 38
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) In this example, the back 2 command moves you from a current working location of rip/192.168.125.34, back two levels to ethernet/2/1 (with ip/192.168.125.34/255.255.255.224 as the intervening level). Note: If you enter an integer value that exceeds the actual number of levels back to root (box or stack) level, the BCC returns to root level.
PAGE 39
Learning to Use the BCC Interface Moving Forward from Root (box) Level To move from your current working level to the next configured level (Figure 2-3), enter the BCC instance ID of the desired object, as follows: Example: (BN router) box# ethernet/2/1 ethernet/2/1# ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0 ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0# rip rip/1.2.3.4# Notice that a slash character (/) joins the name and any required parameter values to make a BCC instance ID for any configured object.
PAGE 40
Using the Bay Command Console (BCC™) Example: (BN router) Move from ip/192.168.33.66/255.255.255.0 (on ethernet/2/1) to rip/1.2.3.4 on ethernet/2/2 (Figure 2-4). ip/192.168.33.66/255.255.255.0# box;ethernet/2/2;ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0;rip rip/1.2.3.4# (Starting context) ip/192.168.33.66/255.255.255.0 ethernet/2/1 box ethernet/2/2 rip ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0 (Ending context) BCC0009C Figure 2-4.
