A-18 ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series Management and Configuration Guide
Remote Commands
The following commands are available only on a Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager
in
cli acs mode. These commands allow the administrator to perform functions on a remote Access
Controller or peer Access Control Server through the CLI. The system at the specified IP address must
be one that the Access Control Server can manage—i.e. the remote system must be configured with this
Access Control Server’s IP address and shared secret.
remote ping <ip-address>
Pings the Access Controller at <ip-address> via the control channel.
remote cancel <ip-address>
Cancels the upgrade occurring on the Access Controller or secondary Access Control Server at
<ip-address>.
remote datetime <ip-address> <date> <time>
Sets the date and time on the system at <ip-address>.
Caution:
It is important that the system time be kept accurate, and the time should not be set
backwards, either manually or by NTP, while the system is in operation. A backwards change in
the time of day may cause certain internal time-outs to take longer than normal, and previously
expired and logged off users may be made to appear active, until the system moves beyond the
time these users logged off or had their rights expire. Therefore, if a backwards time change is
necessary (for example, to return from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time) it should be done
during times when system usage is low to minimize any potential disruptions.
remote sysinfo <ip-address> [<item>]
Shows status information about the system at the specified IP address. If no <item> is
included, all system info is presented.
If no parameter is included, output is as follows:
remote sysinfo 192.168.10.68
<date> The current date in yyyy/mm/dd format
<time> The current time in h24:mm format.
<item> Specifies a specific item to be reported. May be one of the following:
• cur_version: the current (running) software version
• alt_version: the alternate software version
• cur_install: the date and time the current version was installed
• alt_install: the date and time the alternate version was installed
• cur_time: the system date and time
• start_time: the date and time the system was last booted
• backup_time: the date and time the last backup was created
• min_downgrade: the oldest version to which the remote system may be downgraded
without requiring a factory reset.
