Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Using the CLI

Figure 3-8. Example of Help for a Specific Instance of a Command

Note that trying to list the help for an individual command from a privilege

level that does not include that command results in an error message. For

example, trying to list the help for the interface command while at the global

configuration level produces this result:

HPswitch# interface help

Invalid input: interface

Configuration Commands and the Context

Configuration Modes

You can execute any configuration command in the global configuration mode

or in selected context modes. However, using a context mode enables you to

execute context-specific commands faster, with shorter command strings.

The Switches 2650 and 6108 offers interface (port or trunk group) and VLAN

context configuration modes:

Port or Trunk-Group Context . Includes port- or trunk-specific

commands that apply only to the selected port(s) or trunk group, plus the

global configuration, Manager, and Operator commands. The prompt for this

mode includes the identity of the selected port(s):

HPswitch(config)# interface e c3-c6

HPswitch(config)# interface e trk1

Command executed at

configuration level for

entering port or trk1 static

trunk-group context.

HPswitch(eth-C5-C8)#

HPswitch(eth-Trk1)#

Resulting prompt showing

port or static trunk

contexts.
