Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Modules SBCEGBESW1 and SBCEGBESW10 CLI Guide 1
1 Using CLI
Overview
This document describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) used to manage the Intel®
Blade Server Ethernet Switch Modules SBCEGBESW1 and SBCEGBESW10. The
switches can operate as standalone systems, or can be stacked together in the same
system.
Most of the CLI commands are applicable to both switch modules.
This chapter describes how to start using the CLI and the CLI command editing features.
CLI Command Modes
Introduction
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is divided into different command modes. Each
command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question mark ? at the
system prompt (console prompt) displays a list of commands available for that particular
command mode.
From each command mode a specific command is used to navigate from one command
mode to another. The order for mode access is as follows: User EXEC mode, Privileged
EXEC mode, Global Configuration mode, and Interface Configuration mode.
When starting a session, the initial mode is the User EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of
commands are available in User EXEC mode. This task level does not change the
configuration. To enter the next level, the Privileged EXEC mode, a password is required.
The Privileged EXEC mode gives access to commands that displays device configuration
and provides access to the device Configuration mode.
The Global Configuration mode manages the device configuration on a global level.
The Interface Configuration mode configures specific interfaces in the device.
User EXEC Mode
After logging into the device, the user is automatically in User EXEC command mode
unless the user is defined as a privileged user. In general, the User EXEC commands allow
the user to perform basic tests, and list system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the device host name followed by the angle bracket (>).
