Title: Telnet command to find DSLAM/MSAN Vendor
Post by: xreyuk on March 16, 2012, 12:26:33 AM: Hey guys

I have a Netgear DGN2200 with the BusyBox shell, and was wondering if anyone knows what commands I can use to find out DSLAM vendor information?

Thanks.

Quote
adsl info
adslcmd info
adslctl info

You may need to experiment to find the correct syntax. Hopefully one of the above three will be approximately correct and a help message will then be displayed.

Post by: roseway on March 20, 2012, 12:45:31 PM: As far as I know, the 2640B has a Broadcom BCM6348 chipset, so it should respond to the command

adsl info --vendor

(The adslctl version of this command in my previous message applies only to Netgear routers).

If you just type 'adsl' you should get a summary of the options for that command. Of course it may be that the firmware in the 2640B has a cut-down version of the Broadcom CLI command set, without the necessary vendor option. Here's what I get on my Billion 7800N:

Code: [Select]
> adsl info --vendor adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status Status: Showtime Retrain Reason: 8000 Max: Upstream rate = 1096 Kbps, Downstream rate = 9452 Kbps Path: 0, Upstream rate = 1099 Kbps, Downstream rate = 7623 Kbps ChipSet Vendor Id: IFTN:0x71be ChipSet VersionNumber: 0x71be ChipSet SerialNumber: >
(Apologies to the OP for slightly straying from the original question.)

Post by: GunJack on March 21, 2012, 11:49:22 AM: nail on the head there Eric, the 2640B is only a cut-down command set, without, unfortunately, the vendor commands :( Oh well....

..and my apologies too to OP :)
