## Command Reference — Tested Status
Commands the script sends to the switch, with known test status. Use this as a guide when debugging unexpected behaviour — untested commands may behave differently on your firmware version.
### Read commands
| Command | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `show interfaces` | confirmed | |
| `show poe-main-status` | confirmed | |
| `show vlan` | confirmed | |
| `show sys-info` | confirmed | |
| `show arp` | confirmed | |
| `show config` | confirmed | Returns table output |
| `show ip helper-address` | not tested | |
| `show ip route default` | not tested | |
| `show dhcp-server leases` | invalid on this firmware | Script handles gracefully — returns empty |
| `show dhcp-server static-binding` | invalid on this firmware | Script handles gracefully — returns empty |
| `show dhcp-server` | invalid on this firmware | Script handles gracefully — returns empty |
### Config / push commands
| Command | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `enable` | confirmed | |
| `configure terminal` | confirmed | |
| `terminal length 0` | not tested | Disables pagination — sent before reads |
| `interface FastEthernet {port}` | confirmed | |
| `vlan members add {vid} {port}` | confirmed | |
| `vlan pvid {port} {vid}` | not tested | Sets native/untagged VLAN on a port |
| `vlan tagging {tagged-set} {port}` | not tested | Adds trunk tagging |
| `vlan create {vid} name "x" type port` | not tested | |
| `no vlan {vid}` | not tested | |
| `name "{description}"` (under interface) | not tested | Sets port description |
| `shutdown` (under interface) | not tested | Disables a port |
| `poe enable` / `no poe enable` | not tested | |
| `poe poe-limit {milliwatts}` | not tested | |
| `interface vlan {vid}` (in config mode) | not tested | |
| `ip access-list extended {name}` | not tested | |
| `ip access-group {name} in/out` | not tested | |
| `end` | not tested | Returns to enable mode |
| `save config` | confirmed | **Caused a reboot on first run** — watch the first time you push this |
> **`save config` reboot note:** On at least one switch, issuing `save config` triggered a reboot. This may be firmware-version-specific or a one-time behaviour after certain config states. Subsequent saves have not reproduced it. Be aware when pushing config changes in a live environment.

## Scrollback in `screen` (console cable sessions)
By default `screen` does not let you scroll up through output. Enable it with copy mode:
| Action | Keys |
|---|---|
| Enter scrollback mode | `Ctrl-A` then `[` |
| Scroll up / down | Arrow keys or `PgUp` / `PgDn` |
| Exit scrollback mode | `Esc` or `q` |
To increase the scrollback buffer for a session (default is only 100 lines):
```
Ctrl-A then :scrollback 5000
```
To set it permanently, add this to `~/.screenrc`:
```
defscrollback 5000
```
Useful when reviewing long `show config` or `show interfaces` output during console sessions.

## What This Tool Does Not Do
- Does not manage OPNsense, pfSense, or any other device directly (OPNsense integration is read/sync only)
