Interface Configuration Mode and Specific Configuration Modes

Interface Configuration commands are to modify specific interface operations. The following are the Interface Configuration modes:

ƒLine Interface—Contains commands to configure the management connections. These include commands such as line speed, timeout settings, etc. The Global Configuration mode command line is used to enter the line configuration command mode.

ƒVLAN Database—Contains commands to create a VLAN as a whole. The Global Configuration mode command vlan database is used to enter the VLAN Database Interface Configuration mode.

ƒManagement Access List—Contains commands to define management access-lists. The Global Configuration mode command management access-listis used to enter the Management Access List Configuration mode.

ƒEthernet—Contains commands to manage port configuration. The Global Configuration mode command interface ethernet enters the Interface Configuration mode to configure an Ethernet type interface.

ƒPort Channel—Contains commands to configure port-channels, for example, assigning ports to a VLAN or port-channel. Most of these commands are the same as the commands in the Ethernet interface mode, and are used to manage the member ports as a single entity. The Global Configuration mode command interface port-channelis used to enter the port-channel Interface Configuration mode.

ƒSSH Public Key-chain—Contains commands to manually specify other device SSH public keys. The Global Configuration mode command crypto key pubkey-chain ssh is used to enter the SSH Public Key-chain Configuration mode.

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

ƒInterface—Contains commands that configure the interface. The Global Configuration mode command interface ethernet is used to enter the interface configuration mode.

5.2.2 Starting the CLI

The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet connection. The switch can also be managed via an out-of-band (OOB) management port. The switch is managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch 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 an IP address defined, that corresponding management access is granted, and that the workstation used to access the device is connected to the device prior to beginning using CLI commands.
