Overview
1-2
To access commands, enter the PRIV EXEC mode, which is the second level of access for the EXEC mode. In
the PRIV EXEC mode, enter any EXEC command. The PRIV EXEC mode is a superset of the USER EXEC mode.
Most of the USER EXEC mode commands are one-time commands and are not saved across reboots of the
switch. For example, show command displays the current configuration and clear command clears the counter
or interface.
Enter GLOBAL CONFIG mode from PRIV EXEC mode. In this mode, enter commands that configure general
system characteristics. Use the global configuration mode to enter specific configuration modes. Configuration
modes, including global configuration mode, allows you to make changes to the running configuration. If you
save the configuration later, these commands are stored across switch reboots.
Enter a variety of protocol-specific or feature-specific configuration modes from global configuration mode.
The CLI hierarchy requires you enter these specific configuration modes only through global configuration
mode.
Enter configuration submodes from global configuration modes. Configuration submodes are used to configure
specific features within the scope of a given configuration mode.
The Table 1.1 below summarizes the commands available to configure and monitor the switch.
