The article describes a way how to access RSW and enter RSW commands from the CPM Unix prompt.The article describes a way how to access RSW and enter RSW commands from the CPM Unix prompt.

Cause:

Goal: Accessing RSW from the CPM Unix prompt on purpose of gathering troubleshooting information.

Resolution:

It is possible to use telnet to connect to to RSW daemon on the master VAP and execute RSW commands in a single line from the CPM Unix shell.

Here is an example how to collect OSPF routes from the master VAP called vap_1 (some output is removed for brevity). The "sleep" command is required to add a pause allowing the previous commands to finish before the connection is closed.

CBS# unix su
Password:
[[email protected] admin]# (echo admin; echo enable; echo admin; echo show ip ospf route; sleep 2; echo quit) | telnet vap_1 2604
Trying 1.1.6.108...

Connected to vap_1.

Escape character is '^]'.

OSPF process 1:

Codes: C - connected, D - Discard, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2

E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2

Connection closed by foreign host.

You can connect to BGP daemon on TCP port 2605 or NSM on the port 2601 in a similar manner.

As with any Unix commands, be careful that you've typed each command correctly to avoid unintended effects.
