How to navigate from one Interface Configuration Mode to another
Step 1 Type exit and press Enter.
You are returned to the Global Configuration Mode.
Step 2 Type the appropriate command to enter a different Interface Configuration Mode.
The "do" Command: Executing Commands Without Exiting
There are four configuration command modes:
• Global configuration mode
• Management interface configuration mode
• Interface configuration mode
• Line configuration mode
When you are in one of these configuration modes, it is possible to execute an EXEC mode command
(such as a show command) or a privileged EXEC (such as show running-config) without exiting to the
relevant command mode. Use the do command for this purpose.
How to execute an exec mode command from a configuration command mode
Step 1 At the SCE(config)# (or SCE(config-if)#) prompt, type do <command> and press Enter.
The specified command executes without exiting to the appropriate exec command mode.
The following example shows how to display the running configuration while in interface configuration
mode.
