System Information commandsXVERSIONReturns the API program version number.Format: XVERSIONExample Results: R0009OKV4.0-3XINSTALLEDReturns an inventor

XLASTEVENTReturns a time-stamp string that was set the last time a connection was made or broken. This can be used to determine if the switch status

XCRON and XCROFFEnables or disables sending CR's on each line. XCRON is typically used when a (Windows) telnet client connecting to the VxRouter

XOPTIONSThis command returns a numeric response that is a bit map of options available in the version of the api. The value returned is a four digit

XSTATUSIO - return switch status as pairs of ports, input first upper chassis ports listed first, then a &ap
