tcpcmdmode command

This command displays and changes the timeout of the TCP command-mode sessions that are used by IBM Director software for out-of-band communication with the management module. This command is also used to enable or disable the TCP command-mode sessions.

Table 1. tcpcmdmode command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display TCP command-mode session status and timeout	Displays the TCP command-mode session status (on or off) and timeout.	`tcpcmdmode`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set TCP command-mode session timeout	Sets the TCP command-mode session timeout value.	`tcpcmdmode -t` timeout where timeout is from 0 seconds (no timeout) to 4294967295 seconds, inclusive. If you enter a value outside this range, an error will be displayed. Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Enable / disable TCP command-mode sessions	Enables or disables TCP command-mode sessions that are used by IBM Director software for out-of-band communication with the management module.	`tcpcmdmode -status` state where state is `on` or `off`. Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Example: To enable a TCP command-mode session for the primary management module, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  tcpcmdmode -status on

To set the TCP command-mode session timeout for the primary management module to 6 minutes, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  tcpcmdmode -t 360

To display the TCP command-mode session status and timeout for the primary management module, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  tcpcmdmode

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

               system:mm[1]> tcpcmdmode -status on
OK
system:mm[1]> tcpcmdmode -t 360
OK
system:mm[1]> tcpcmdmode
-status on
-t 360
system:mm[1]>
