Configuration Commands and the Context Configuration Modes

You can execute any configuration command in the global configuration mode or in selected context modes. However, using a context mode enables you to execute context-specific commands faster, with shorter command strings.

The switch offers interface (port or trunk group) and VLAN context configu­ ration modes:

Port or Trunk-Group Context. Includes port- ortrunk-specific commands that apply only to the selected port(s) or trunk group, plus the global config­ uration, Manager, and Operator commands. The prompt for this mode includes the identity of the selected port(s):

ProCurve(config)# interface c3-c6

ProCurve(eth-C5-C8)#

ProCurve(config)# interface trk1

ProCurve(eth-Trk1)#

Commands executed at configuration level for entering port and trk1 static trunk-group contexts, and resulting prompts showing port or static trunk contexts..

ProCurve(eth-C5-C8)#

ProCurve(eth-Trk1)#

ProCurve(eth-C5-C8)# ?

ProCurve(eth-C5-C8)# ?

Lists the commands you can use in the port or static trunk context, plus the Manager, Operator, and context commands you can exe­ cute at this level.
