Synopsis

quietMode [0|1]

Availability All users (display)

admin (set/clear)

Description Use this command to change the output displayed on the switch console

(serial port or telnet session).

By default, quiet mode is off and all switch tasks can send output to the

console, including output caused by asynchronous events, such as the fabric

reconfiguring, or devices logging in.

When quiet mode is on, only output produced by shell commands is shown;

asynchronous output produced by other tasks is suppressed.

Turn quiet mode on when driving a telnet session using a script that does

not expect asynchronous output.

Operands This command has the following operand:
