GS-3012/GS-3012F User’s Guide
Introducing the Commands 30-5
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 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.
