Bounce Connection

The bounce command allows users to close and re-establish the TSM's connection to a particular device.

You can connect to the TSM for Nortel DMS system using a TCP/IP socket to issue the bounce command. The TSM listens for bounce commands on the port specified by the CommandPort property. The bounce command kills the connection to the specified network element and then immediately reconnects.

The command syntax is:

bounce -host hostname -port portnumber

When the command is issued, the TSM looks for the connection specified by the host and port parameters. If found, the TSM then closes that connection, which then goes into re-connection mode.

Note: To run this command from within Netcool/OMNIbus, you must create the script, prompts, and tool. A description of this procedure is provided in the Netcool/OMNIbus Supporting Products documentation for the TL1 TSM.
