27.6 Command Modes

There are three CLI command modes: User, Enable and Configure.

When you first log into the CLI, the initial command mode is the User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of the Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).

To enter Enable (or privileged) mode, type enable and enter a password when prompted (the default is 1234). When you enter the Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).

To enter the configuration mode, type configure or config. The Configure mode command prompt consists of the word “config” and the pound sign (#). There are various sub configuration modes: interface, router and VLAN.

•To enter config-vlan mode, type vlan followed by a number (between 1 to 4094). For example, vlan 10 to configure settings for VLAN 10.

•To enter config-interface mode and configure the ports, enter interface port- channel followed by a port number. For example, interface port-channel 8.

Enter exit or logout to quit from the current mode or log out from the CLI.
