quietMode

Sets or clears the telnet session quiet mode, or displays the current mode.

Synopsis quietmode [mode]

Description Use this command to filter the output displayed on the switch's console. Only telnet session will be

suppressed.

By default, quiet mode is disabled, and all switch tasks may send output to the console (telnet

session). Some output is caused by asynchronous events, such as fabric reconfigurations and

device logins.

When quiet mode is enabled, only output produced by shell commands is shown; all asynchronous

output is suppressed. This is useful when driving a telnet session via a script which does not

expect any asynchronous output.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands The following operands are available:

“mode” Specify 0 to clear quiet mode (all tasks may print to telnet session);

Specify 1 to set quiet mode (only shell commands may print).

If no operand is specified the current value is displayed.

Examples To display the current state of quiet mode, and then enable it:

switch:admin> quietmode

quietMode: On

Usage: quietMode 0|1

0: to turn it off

1: to turn it on

switch:admin> quietmode 0

Committing configuration...done

Quiet Mode is now OFF
