Configuring Dell PowerConnect 89
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 6200 Series switches:
•
SwitchA>
— indicates that the host name is
SwitchA
and the CLI in the
User EXEC mode
.
•
SwitchA#
— this prompt is similar to the above prompt except that the # indicates that the CLI is in
a privileged 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 privileged EXEC mode.
•
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 global configuration 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 in interface configuration mode for the 10
gigabit Ethernet interface 1.
