Intel SBCEGBESW10 CLI manual Starting the CLI

Using CLI

•MAC Access-List — Configures conditions required to allow traffic based on MAC addresses. The mac access-list Global Configuration mode command is used to enter the MAC access-list configuration mode.

Starting the CLI

The device can be managed over a direct connection via a Telnet connection. The device is managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the device command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.

If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has a defined IP address, corresponding management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the device is connected to the device prior to using CLI commands.

1. Enter the following commands to begin the configuration procedure:

Console> enable

Console# configure

Console(config)#

2.Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.

3.When finished, exit the session with the exit command.

When a different user is required to log onto the system, use the login Privileged EXEC mode command. This effectively logs off the current user and logs on the new user.

Entering Commands

A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command show interfaces status ethernet Ext.1, show, interfaces and status are keywords, ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type, and Ext.1 specifies the port.

To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:

Console(config)# username admin password alansmith

When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The command is not selected from a menu, but is manually entered. To see what commands are available in each mode or within an Interface Configuration, the CLI does provide a method of displaying the available commands, the command syntax requirements and in some instances parameters required to complete the command. The standard command to request help is ?.
