Usage Guidelines

If value contains white space or other special (shell) characters, you must use quotation marks. If value has a space as its last character, the next command line word is checked for an alias (normally, only the first word on a command line is checked).

Without an argument, this command prints a list of all aliased names with their values.

An equal sign (=) is required between the name and value of the alias.

Examples

This example shows how to display a list of available alias commands and how to create an alias for the set command:

rommon 1 > alias
r=repeat
h=history
?=help
b=boot
ls=dir
i=reset
k=stack
rommon 2 > alias s=set
rommon 3 > alias
r=repeat

clear kerberos clients mandatory

Use the clear kerberos clients mandatory command to disable mandatory Kerberos authentication for services on the network.

clear kerberos clients mandatory

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Kerberos clients are NOT set to mandatory.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

A user authenticated to a Kerberized switch has a ticket granting ticket (TGT) and can use it to authenticate to a host on the network. However, if forwarding is not enabled and a user tries to list credentials after authenticating to a host, the output will show no Kerberos credentials present.

You can optionally configure the switch to forward users' TGTs with them as they authenticate from the switch to Kerberized remote hosts on the network when using Kerberized Telnet.

As an added layer of security, you can optionally configure the switch so that after users authenticate to it, they can authenticate to other services on the network only with Kerberos clients. If you do not make Kerberos authentication mandatory and Kerberos authentication fails, the application attempts to authenticate users using the default method of authentication for that network service. For example, Telnet prompts for a password.

Examples

This example shows how to clear mandatory Kerberos authentication:

Console> (enable) clear kerberos clients mandatory 
Kerberos clients mandatory cleared
Console> (enable)

Related Commands

confreg

Use the confreg command to set the configuration register value or to modify the configuration register using the configuration register utility.

confreg [hexvalue]

Syntax Description

hexvalue

(Optional) Hexadecimal value of the configuration register.


Defaults

This command has no defaults.

Command Types

ROM monitor command.

Command Modes

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

If you specify hexvalue, the confreg command changes the configuration register value to the hexadecimal value specified.

If you do not specify hexvalue, confreg shows the current configuration register values and prompts you to keep or change the current values.

The new configuration register value is written into NVRAM and does not take effect until you reset or power cycle the switch.

Examples

This example shows how to use the confreg command:

rommon 1 > confreg

copy

Use the copy command to perform these tasks:

Download a system image or configuration file from a TFTP or rcp server to a Flash device

Upload a system image or configuration file from a Flash device to a TFTP or rcp server

Configure the switch using a configuration file on a Flash device or on a TFTP or rcp server

Copy the current configuration to a Flash device or to a TFTP or rcp server

copy file-id {file-id | tftp | rcp | flash | config}

copy config {file-id | flash | tftp | rcp} [all]

copy tftp {file-id | flash | config}

copy rcp {file-id | flash | config}

copy flash {file-id | tftp | rcp | config}

Syntax Description

file-id

The file on which to perform the copy action, where file-id is of the format [[m/]device:][filename].

m/ = The module where the Flash device is located (such as the standby supervisor engine, an FDDI module, or an ATM module). Module 1 is assumed if no module is specified.

device: = Device where the file is located. Valid Flash devices are bootflash:, slot0:, and slot1:. You can also specify tftp: as the device name. The colon (:) is required after the device name.

filename = Name of the system image or configuration file.

tftp

Keyword that specifies that the file will be copied to or from a TFTP server.

rcp

Keyword that specifies that the file will be copied to or from an rcp server.

flash

Keyword that specifies that the file will be copied to or from the Flash file system.

config

Keyword that specifies that the switch configuration file will be copied to the specified file, or that the specified file will be used to configure the switch.

all

(Optional) Keyword that specifies that the entire configuration be copied to the specified destination configuration file. If you do not use the all keyword, only non-default commands are copied to the destination configuration file.


Defaults

If a source or destination Flash device is not specified, the default Flash device (specified by the cd command) is used. Use the pwd command to display the current default Flash device. If the destination filename is omitted, the system uses the source filename.

The system stores image and configuration files in the sysname.cfg file when the user has defined a system name using the set system name command; otherwise, it uses the default myswitch.cfg file.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

The Catalyst 4000 family switches support only the bootflash: Flash device:

If you use the flash keyword as the copy source or destination, you are prompted for the Flash device name.

If you are copying a software image to multiple intelligent switching modules of the same type, use the flash keyword as the copy destination. The switch automatically determines which modules to copy the image to based on the header in the source image file. If you want to copy a software image to a single intelligent switching module in a switch with multiple modules of the same type, you must specify the destination file-id as m/bootflash: (do not specify a filename).
