The switch utilizes Command Line Interface (CLI) to provide access to several different command modes. Each command mode provides a group of related commands. In general, after typing a command name, always press ‘enter’ to start the execution of the command.

After logging into the system, you are automatically in the user top (user EXEC) mode. Fr om the user top mode you can enter into the privileged top (privileged EXEC) mode. From the privileged EXEC level, you can access the global configuration mode and specific configuration modes: interface and Switch configuration. Entering a question mark (?) at the system prompt provides a list of commands available for each command mode.

Document Conventions

Command descriptions use the following conventions:

• Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive, elements

• Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice

• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown

• Italics indicate arguments for which you supply values

Access Each Command Mode

The following sections describe how to access each of the CLI command modes:

• User Top Mode: COMMAND>

• Privileged Top Mode: Switch#

• Global Configuration Mode: Switch(config)#

• Interface Configuration Mode: Switch(interface #)#

4.1 User Top (User EXEC) Mode

After you log in to the Switch, you are automatically in user top (user EXEC) command mode. The user-level prompt consists of the ‘COMMAND’ followed by the angle bracket (>):

COMMAND>

The user top commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the privileg ed level. In general, the user top commands allow you ping remote hosts and show port statistics.

To list the commands available in user top mode, enter a question mark (?). Use a space and a question mark (?) after entering a command to see all the options for that particular command.

Command Purpose

show ?

User top commands:

COMMAND> ? Help Displays Help information ? Displays Help information logout Exit ping Pings a remote host show Display commands enable Enter XCLI interface

You may also enter a question mark after a letter or string of letters to view all the commands that start with that letter (with no space between the letter and the question mark). Please note that there is no help on the argum ents after a command is typed.

Lists the user EXEC commands.

Lists all the options available for the given command.

Use ‘logout’ to logout from the switch.

4.2 Privileged Top (Privileged EXEC) Mode

Because many of the privileged commands set the system configuration parameters, privileged access can be password protected to prevent unauthorized use. The privileged command set includes those commands contained in user EXEC mode, as well as the configure command through which you can access the remaining command modes. The following example shows how to access privileged EXEC mode. Notice the prompt changes from COMMAND> to Switch#:

To execute a command, the command and its arguments or key words must be entered in their entirety. However, a partially typed command, argument or key word can be completed by pressing the ‘tab’ key.

Switch# ?

To return to user EXEC mode, use the exit command. To list the commands available in top mode, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt, as shown in the following

example. Enter a question mark (?) after a command to see all the options for that command.

4.3 Global Configuration Mode

Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole, rather than just one protocol or interface. Commands to enable a particular routing function are also global configuration commands. To enter the global configuration mode, use the configure command.

The following example shows how to access and exit global configuration mode and list global configur ation commands.

Command Purpose

Switch# configuration

Switch(config)# ?

To exit global configuration command mode and return to privileged EXEC mode, use one of the following commands:

Command Purpose

exit

To list the commands available in global configuration mode, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt, as shown in the following example. Enter a question mark (?) after a specific command to see all the options for that command.

Switch(Config)# ?

From privileged EXEC mode, enters global configuration mode.

Lists the global configuration commands.

Exits global configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Switch(Config)#

From global configuration mode, you can access three additional configurat ion modes: Use the interface command to access its configuration modes.

4.3.1 Interface Configuration Mode

Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands modify the operation of an interface such as an Ethernet or serial port. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global configuration command, which defines the interface type as Ethernet.

In the following example shows configuration of Ethernet interface 1. The new prompt, Switch(interface 1)#, indicates the interface configuration mode. In this example, the user asks for help by requesting a list of commands.

4.4 Advanced Features Supported within the Command Mode

Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also get a list of any command's associated keywords and arguments with the context-sensitive help feature.

29 Asante IntraCore IC3624/48 User’s Manual

To get help specific to a command mode, a command, a keyword, or an argument, perform one of the following commands:

Command Purpose

Help

Obtain a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

List all commands available for a particular command mode.

When using context-sensitive help, the space (or lack of a space) before the question mark (?) is significant. To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters followed immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is word help, because it completes a word for you.

To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark (?) in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before the question mark (?). This form of help is command syntax help, because it reminds you which keywords or arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you already have entered.

Example of Context Sensitive Help

The following example illustrates how the context-sensitive help feature creates an acc ess list from the configuration mode.

Enter the letters “co” at the system prompt followed by a question mark (?). Do not leave a space between the last letter and the question mark (?). The system provides the commands that begin with co.

Switch# co? configuration Enter configuration mode copy Copy from one file to another Switch# co

Enter the configure command followed by a space and a question mark (?) to list the command’s keyword(s) and a brief explanation:

Switch# configuration ? <cr>

Note that in the example below, if you enter the ip command followed by the Return Key or Enter, the system returns the prompt that the command is incomplete.

Switch# copy % Invalid command input Switch#
