Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Using the CLI
For example, if you use the menu interface to configure an IP address of “X”
for VLAN 1 and later use the CLI to configure a different IP address of “Y” for
VLAN 1, then “Y” replaces “X” as the IP address for VLAN 1 in the running-
config file. If you subsequently execute write memory in the CLI, then the
switch also stores “Y” as the IP address for VLAN 1 in the startup-config file.
(For more on the startup-config and running config files, see
Chapter 6,
“Switch Memory and Configuration”.)

commands available at both the Operator and Manager levels.
