30.6 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 “

configuration

” or “

config

”. The Configure mode command prompt

consists of the word “

config

” and the pound sign (

#

). There are two sub configuration modes: VLAN and

interface. To enter config-vlan mode, type “

vlan

” followed by a number (between 1 to 4094). For example,

vlan

10

. To enter config-interface mode, enter

interface port-channel

followed by a port number. For example,

interface port-channel

10

.

Enter “

exit

” or “

logout

” to quit from the current mode or log out from the CLI.

30.7 Using Command History

The switch keeps a list of up to 256 commands(s) you have entered for the current CLI session. You can use any
commands in the history again by pressing the up (y) or down (z) arrow key to scroll through the previously used
commands and press [ENTER]. Use the history command to display the list of commands.

30.8 Saving Your Configuration

After you set the switch settings with the configuration commands, use the

write memory

command to save the

changes permanently.

Figure 30-8 CLI: write memory

The

write memory

command is not available in User mode.

You must save your changes after each CLI session. All unsaved configuration changes are lost

once you restart the switch.
