HPswitch> enable
Password:_
After you enter enable, the Password
prompt appears. After you enter the
Manager password, the system prompt
appears with the # symbol:
HPswitch#_
HPswitch# config
HPswitch(config)#
HPswitch(config)# vlan 10
HPswitch(vlan-10)#
HPswitch(vlan-10)# interface e 3
HPswitch(int-3)#
The CLI accepts "e" as the abbreviated
form of "ethernet".
HPswitch(int-3)# exit
HPswitch(config)# exit
HPswitch# exit
HPswitch>
HPswitch(int-3)# end
HPswitch#
—or—
HPswitch(config)# end
HPswitch#
Moving Between the CLI and the Menu Interface. When moving
between interfaces, the switch retains the current privilege level (Manager or
Operator). That is, if you are at the Operator level in the menu and select the
Command Line Interface (CLI) option from the Main Menu, the CLI prompt
appears at the Operator level.
Changing Parameter Settings. Regardless of which interface is used (CLI,
menu interface, or web browser interface), the most recently configured
version of a parameter setting overrides any earlier settings for that parameter.
