Command Line Interface

To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Exec mode. The system prompt will change to “SMC Enterprise AP(config)#” which gives you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.

To enter Interface mode, you must enter the “interface ethernet,” or “interface wireless a,” or “interface wireless g” command while in Global Configuration mode. The system prompt will change to “SMC Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#,” or SMC Enterprise AP(if-wireless)” indicating that you have access privileges to the associated commands. You can use the end command to return to the Exec mode.

SMC-AP(config)#interface ethernet

SMC-AP(if-ethernet)#

Command Line Processing

Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other currently available commands or parameters. You can use the Tab key to complete partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the “?” character to display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following editing keystrokes for command-line processing:
