Enhancements to Release 1.0 of the IBM 8371

ASRT Configuration Commands

The ASRT configuration commands allow you to create multiple bridge instances. You must adhere to the following criteria in order to configure multiple bridge instances:

• Any existing 8371 Release 1.0 configuration MUST be deleted after installing the enhancements to Release 1.0. The 8371 must then be restarted before reconfiguring. Failure to delete the existing Release 1.0 configuration before reconfiguring the 8371 with the Release 1.0 enhancements may cause unpredictable results.
• The device must be restarted for the new configuration to take effect.

Enter the ASRT configuration commands at the ASRT config> prompt. Access the commands as follows:

Table 1 shows the ASRT configuration commands.
