Pass-through commands are passed through the OAM and sent to individual cards for processing.

An example of a pass command is:

pass:loc=1201:cmd=”connmgr -c”

The cmd parameter contains the pass-through command (connmgr -c) within the double quotes.

Pass-through commands consist of two types of tokens: command name and command options. Tokens are whitespace-delimited and null-terminated. The generalized format of a pass-through command is:

command_name option1 option2....option n-1.... option n

In the example, the command_name is connmgr and the option is -c.

Options and option parameters are made up of a specific character string or a variable. The variable is to be replaced with a value selected from a range of values. Option variables and option parameter variables are underlined. For example, the arp command option -d has the parameter variable IPaddress. Specify the IP address as in the command arp -d 192.9.200.44. Do not enter the underlined text; enter a value instead.

Help information for each pass-through command can be obtained by using the option -h on any command.
