Command Line Interface Introduction

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is one of the user interfaces to the switch’s
embedded software system. You can view the system information, show the

status, configure the switch and receive a response back from the system by

typing in a command.

There are different command modes and each command mode has its own
access ability, available command lines and uses different command lines to enter
and exit. These modes are User EXEC, Privileged EXEC, Global Configuration and

(Port/VLAN) Interface Configuration modes.

User EXEC mode: As long as you log into the switch by CLI you are in the User
EXEC mode. You can ping, telnet remote device, and show some basic

information.
Type enable to enter the next mode, exit to logout. ? to see the command list

Privileged EXEC mode: Type enable in the User EXEC mode, then you can enter
the Privileged EXEC mode. In this mode, the system allows you to view current

configuration, reset default, reload switch, show system information, save

configuration and enter the global configuration mode.
Type configure terminal to enter next mode, exit to leave. ? to see the command
