The Configuration Terminal mode allows you to configure advanced
system features such as broadcast storm control, SNMP, and STP. To
access this mode, you must first access the Privileged Executive mode.
The prompt changes to “Switch(config)#” to indicate the software has
entered the Configuration Terminal mode.
See Table 5 for a sample list of commands that can be accessed from the
Configuration Terminal mode. For detailed information about the
commands in this mode, see the following chapters:
ˆ Chapter 6, “Configuration Terminal Mode Commands” on page 105

ˆ Chapter 8, “Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Interface
Configuration
Command Mode
The Interface Configuration command mode allows you to configure
features that pertain to the interfaces such as flow control and duplex
mode. To access this mode, you must first access the Privileged
Executive and Configuration Terminal modes, depending on your login id.
For example, to access interface 1 enter the following from the
Configuration Terminal mode:
interface xe1
The prompt changes to “Switch(config-if)#” to indicate the Interface
Configuration mode.
After you have accessed this mode, the commands you enter apply only to
the interface specified in the Configuration Terminal mode. For example, if
you enter “interface xe3” in the Configuration Terminal mode, all of the
subsequent commands that you enter apply to interface 3 only. To
