Bounce a port via SSH

Tue Jun 28, 2016 9:56 am

I have a switch for which I've lost http access. I can SSH into it from an attached router. I need to bounce port 1. I've spent 20 minutes with the various built-in help functions and haven't found it and now I've spent 15 minutes searching the forums without finding a set of directions for switch control via command line.

Can someone point me at the command info or just tell me how to bounce port 1?
Thanks!

Press ? or type "help" and press Enter to get a list of commands where you are in the CLI

You spy Configuration so type in "config" and press Enter which will take you into configuration mode not unlike Cisco

Press ? and you get a list of commands for root of Config mode

You spy interface so type "interface" + space + "?" and press enter

You see you need to select the port so type "interface port" + space + port number and press Enter

Now you are in the configuration of that port #

Press ? and you get a list of commands for where you are now

The same simple logic to get commands is throughout the CLI modeled after Cisco CLI

You can use the Bounce command under interface or use the POE command to turn POE OFF then back ON

When done your config changes do Ctrl + "z" to Save/Apply your changes and take you out of config mode

Not sure why you lost the UI interface, maybe you are running an older v1.3.X where the UI can get messed up from a bug in the MAC table display Tab.

If so upgrade to v1.4.2

To reload the web services drop to the linux shell by typing "CMD" and pressing Enter:

Now type this and press enter: "/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart"


To go back to CLI type "exit" and press Enter

Thanks. The lost access to the GUI was nothing to do with the switch and everything to do with one of our guys putting the wrong management address/IP gateway address on the switch.

Not having come to WISPland via Cisco networking, I mistook the answer "port" in response to to "interface ?" as wanting "interface 1". When I gave it "interface port 1" is worked just fine.

Thank you.
