Commands Introduction

This chapter introduces line commands and gives a summary of commands available.

21.1Command Line Interface Overview

In addition to the web configurator, you can use line commands to configure the switch. It is recommended that you use the web configurator for everyday management of the switch and that you use line commands for advanced switch diagnosis and troubleshooting. If you have problems with your switch, customer support may request that you issue some of these commands to assist them in troubleshooting.

You can use the “config save” command to save tagged IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and STP commands in non-volatile memory (Flash) but all other line command configurations are saved in volatile memory (DRAM) only, so are not effective after you restart the switch!

Telnet to the switch or connect a computer to the console port and use terminal emulation software configured to the following parameters:

VT100 terminal emulation	9600 bps
No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit	No flow control

21.1.1Command Conventions

The system uses a one-level command structure. You must type the full command every time, as follows.
