2 Using the Command-Line Interface
The
9175 switch is supported by CanogaOS software. This chapter describes how
to use the switch command-line interface (CLI) to configure software features.
Type of Memory
The switch flash memory stores the
CanogaOS software image, the startup
configuration file, and helper files.
Platforms
This C
anogaOS release runs on a variety of switches and modules. For a complete list,
see the release notes for this switch.
2.1 User EXEC Mode
After you access the device, you are automatically in user EXEC command mode. The
EXEC commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the
privileged level. In general, use the user EXEC commands to temporarily change
terminal settings, perform basic tests, and list system information.
The supported commands can vary depending on the version of software in use. To
view a comprehensive list of commands, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt.

2.2 Privileged EXEC Mode
Because many of the privileged commands configure operating parameters, privileged
access should be password-protected to prevent unauthorized use. The privileged
command set includes those commands contained in user EXEC mode, as well as the
configure privileged EXEC command through which you access the remaining
command modes.
If your system administrator has set a password, you are prompted to enter it before
being granted access to privileged EXEC mode. The password does not appear on the
screen and is case sensitive. The privileged EXEC mode prompt is the device name
followed by the pound sign (#).
Switch#
Enter the enable command to access privileged EXEC mode:
Switch> enable
Switch#
The supported commands can vary depending on the version of software in use. To

Switch# ?
To return to user EXEC mode, enter the exit privileged EXEC command.
Global Configuration Mode
Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the device as a whole.
Use the configure privileged EXEC command to enter global configuration mode. The
default is to enter commands from the management console.
