BCC™ Quick Reference
The BCC Configuration Tree
The BCC uses a hierarchical tree configuration model similar to the DOS hierarchy of directories and files. The BCC configuration tree
for a network device contains:
•
Objects --
Physical or logical entities you can configure. An Ethernet interface or a protocol is an object.
•
Parameters
-- Attributes of an object;
slot
and
connector
are parameters of the object
ethernet
. Parameters have
values
;
for example,
slot 4
is a parameter-value pair.
Starting at the root level, you build a BCC configuration by adding objects to the tree. Every object occupies a specific level, or
context
, within the tree, as shown below.
The boldface labels in the figure are the actual BCC commands used to create this configuration.
Configuration Tips
• Start a BCC configuration session by logging in to the Technician Interface as
Manager
. Next, enter
bcc
and wait for the
bcc>
prompt. Enter
config
at the
bcc>
prompt and wait for the
box#
or
stack#
configuration prompt.
• Configure interfaces first, then add protocols. When you enter BCC configuration commands, you immediately modify
device behavior.
• As you navigate between levels of the configuration tree, the BCC prompt changes to show your current location. The BCC
indicates the current location by displaying the unique identifier of the configured object at your current location, for
example:
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0
.
• To access any object, type the path to that object. For example, to access RIP on one of the Ethernet interfaces configured
above, type
eth 2/1;ip 1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0;rip.
(Note that the BCC interprets each semicolon [ ; ] as if you had pressed the
Return key to start a new command line.)
• When you add IP to an interface, the BCC accepts the mask value in either dotted-decimal notation (for example,
255.255.255.0) or in standard decimal notation (for example, 24, representing the number of bits reserved for the network
portion of the IP interface address). For example:
ip address 11.23.13.14 mask 255.0.0.0
(or)
ip 11.23.13.14/255.0.0.0
(or)
ip address 11.23.13.14 mask 8
(or)
ip 11.23.13.14/8
Entering any of these commands creates an object with the unique identifier
ip/11.23.13.14/255.0.0.0
• To move back one level closer to root (box#) level, enter
back
; to move back to root level, enter
box
(AN/ARN/BN) or
stack
(ASN/System 5000).
• To exit BCC configuration mode, type
exit
. To exit the BCC and return to the Technician Interface prompt, type
exit
again.
To log out of the router, type
logout
. If you exit and then reenter the BCC without rebooting, configuration changes that you
made during the last BCC session are still in effect.
• Enter all commands using lowercase letters.
• You can abbreviate object and parameter names; however, the abbreviations must be unique. For example, two objects,
fddi
and
ftp
, exist at the root level of the BCC configuration tree for a BN router. To let the BCC know which of these objects
you want to configure, you must minimally enter
fd
or
ft
at the root-level (
box#
or
stack#
) prompt.
• You can abbreviate system commands; for example, the BCC recognizes
sh
as
show
in contexts where there are no other
command, object, or parameter names starting with
sh
.

Common BCC Commands
Common BCC Operations
The BCC indicates when configuration parameters have values that are required (you must supply a value). Other
parameters have derived or default values supplied by the system.
