6.3.4.2. ‘c’ – show configuration
Display the contents of the configuration structure (Displayed below is the default
configuration). This configuration is stored in flash memory and may be modified using
the serial port and saved. This configuration survives power cycling of the GES unit.
IP_address[0]: 6401A8C0 (192.168.1.100)
IP_address[1]: 64811FAC (172.31.129.100)

The management CPU supports two IP addresses. This allows the GES management
CPU to potentially participate in two distinct subnets. The primary IP and net mask are
shown as IP_address[0] and IP_mask[0]. The secondary IP and net mask are shown
as IP_address[1] and IP_mask[1].
The GES supports port mirroring. This allows monitoring of traffic going in or out of any
of the ports. The mirror_destination is the external port number where the mirrored
traffic is directed. The switch_mirror[0..11] describes the mirroring state of each
external port of the GES. An ‘N’ indicates no mirroring, an ‘I’ indicates ingress mirroring,
an ‘E’ indicates egress mirroring, while a ‘B’ indicates both ingress and egress mirroring.
The cpu_switch_mirror is much like the switch_mirror[0..11], but it indicates the
mirroring for data going to and from the CPU port.
NOTE: Port mirroring is enabled using a GES Status Command UDP packet with the
GES Traffic Capture Mode bit set. Once enabled, the mirroring can only be reset with a
power cycle of the GES.
