Command Line Interface

The system will now display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter Privileged Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the enable command, followed by the privileged level password “super” (page 4-25).

To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and passwords:

Username: admin

Password: [admin login password]

CLI session with the switch is opened.

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

Console#

Username: guest

Password: [guest login password]

CLI session with the switch is opened.

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

Console#enable

Password: [privileged level password]

Console#

Configuration Commands

Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify switch settings. These commands modify the running configuration only and are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To store the running configuration in non-volatile storage, use the copy running-configstartup-configcommand.

The configuration commands are organized into different modes:

Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level configuration, and include commands such as hostname and snmp-server community.

Interface Configuration - These commands modify the port configuration such as speed-duplexand negotiation.

Line Configuration - These commands modify the console port and Telnet configuration, and include command such as parity and databits.

VLAN Configuration - Includes the command to create VLAN groups.

To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Privileged Exec mode. The system prompt will change to “Console(config)#” which gives you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.

Console#configure

Console(config)#
