Configuring Dell PowerConnect 43
The Interface Configuration mode configures the device at the physical interface level. Interface
commands, which require subcommands, have another level called the Subinterface Configuration
mode.
User EXEC Mode
The user EXEC level prompt consists of the host name followed by the angle bracket (>). For example:
console>
Note: The default host name is console unless it has been modified during initial configuration.
The user EXEC commands permit connecting to remote devices, changing terminal settings on a
temporary basis, performing basic tests, and listing system information.
To list the user EXEC commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access can be protected to prevent unauthorized access and ensure operating parameters.
Passwords are case-sensitive, and each character of the password displays on screen as an asterisk.
To access and list the Privileged EXEC Mode commands:
1.
At the prompt type
enable
and press <Enter>.
2.
If a password prompt displays, enter the password and press <Enter>.
The Privileged EXEC mode prompt displays as the device host name followed by #. For example:
console#
3.
To list the Privileged EXEC commands, type a question mark at the command prompt.
4.
To return from Privileged EXEC Mode to User EXEC Mode, type the
exit
command or press
<Ctrl><Z> keys.
The following example illustrates accessing privileged EXEC mode and then returning to the User
EXEC mode:
console>enable
Enter Password: ******
console#
console#exit
console>
Use the exit command to move back to a previous mode. For example, you can move from Interface
Configuration mode to Global Configuration mode, and from Global Configuration mode to Privileged
EXEC mode.
