37.6 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 10 .
• To configure the routing domain, enter interface route-domain followed by the
domain IP address and subnet mask bits (for example, interface route-domain
192.168.1.1/24 ).
• Use the router commands to configure the routing protocol settings.
Enter exit or logout to quit from the current mode or log out from the CLI.
