Configuring Dell PowerConnect 81
Modifying Switching Port Default Settings
When configuring/receiving IP addresses through DHCP and BOOTP, the configuration received from
these servers includes the IP address, and may include subnet mask and default gateway.
When you first log in, the CLI enters the root of the command hierarchy. To go to a different level of the
command hierarchy, enter commands such as configure, which causes the CLI to enter the
config
sub
tree. To go back to the previous level in the command hierarchy, use the exit command.
SwitchA#configure
SwitchA(config)#exit
SwitchA#
The following examples show the system prompts used by the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024
switches:
•
SwitchA>
— indicates that the device name is
SwitchA
and the CLI is current in the top level of
the command hierarchy. The CLI is also in the
User EXEC mode
.
•
SwitchA#
— this prompt is similar to the above prompt except that the # indicates that the CLI
is in a privilege EXEC mode (not in the User EXEC mode).
•
SwitchA(config)#
— indicates that the CLI is currently in the
global configuration
mode of the
command hierarchy. Enter this mode by typing
configure
at the top level.
•
SwitchA(config-if)#
— this prompt indicates that the CLI is currently in the
interface
configuration mode. Enter this by typing
interface range ethernet
,
interface range port-channel
,
or
interface range vlan
from the config mode. In this case, there is no specific reference to an
interface so the system is operating on a generic set of interfaces.
•
SwitchA(config-if-1/xg1)#
— indicates that the CLI is currently operating on the 10 gigabit
Ethernet interface 1.
