ENTERING COMMANDS
This section describes how to enter CLI commands.
KEYWORDS AND
ARGUMENTS
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify
a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. Commands
are organized into functional groups. You can enter the full command from
the main level command prompt “>,” or enter the name of a command
group (e.g., port) and then enter the required command without the group
name prefix.
For example, in the command “port configuration 5,” port configuration
are keywords, and 5 specifies the port.
You can enter commands as follows:
◆ To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
◆ To enter multiple commands, enter each command in the required
order. For example, to enable Privileged Exec command mode, and
display the startup configuration, enter:
>port
Port>configuration 5
