Cisco Systems RJ-45-to-AUX manual Black Book Philosophy

∙Words in brackets that are separated by bars are used when indicating that there are multiple choices of commands. For example, when configuring VTP you can enable the trunk port to choose one mode: on, off, desirable, or auto mode. This will be shown like this: [onoffdesirableauto].

Knowledge of what configuration mode you are in and how to enter each configuration mode on the Cisco Command Line Interface is important. Knowing what each mode configures will aid you in using the proper configuration mode. The Set/Clear command−based IOS CLI uses similar command modes as the Cisco CLI used on Cisco routers and switches, but uses mainly the enable, set, show, and clear commands. Chapter 1 will cover the different CLI command modes.
