Cisco Systems SPS2024, SPS208G, SPS224G4 Introduction

SPS208G/SPS224G4/SPS2024 Command Line Interface Reference Guide 18

Introduction

This document describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) used to manage the

Linksys SPS208G, SPS224G4, and SPS2024 switches. Unless noted otherwise,

all of the CLI commands in this document apply to all three switches.

This chapter describes the CLI command modes, how to access the CLI, and the

CLI command editing features.

For greater ease of use, the Command Line Interface (CLI) is divided into four

command modes arranged hierarchically by privilege level. The command modes

are (in the order in which they are accessed):

•User EXEC mode (lowest privilege)

•Privileged EXEC mode

•Global Configuration mode

•Interface Configuration mode (highest privilege)

Each command mode has its own unique console prompt and set of CLI

commands. Entering a question mark at the console prompt displays a list of

available commands for the current mode. Specific commands are used to switch

from one mode to another.
