ENTERING COMMANDS

To enter Interface, Line Configuration, or VLAN mode, you must enter the “interface ...,” “line...” or “vlan database” command while in Global Configuration mode. The system prompt will change to “Console(config-if)#,” “Console(config-line)#” or Console(config-vlan)” indicating that you have access privileges to the associated commands. You can use the end command to return to the Privileged Exec mode.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#exit

Console(config)#line console

Console(config-line)#

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:
