Chapter 14: Using the Command Line Interface
The command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec commands generally display
information on system status or clear statistical counters. Configuration commands, on the other hand,
modify interface parameters or enable certain switching functions. These classes are further divided into
different modes. Available commands depend on the selected mode. You can always enter a question mark
“?” at the prompt to display a list of the commands available for the current mode. The command classes
and associated modes are displayed in the following table:
Class Mode
Exec Normal
Privileged Configuration
Global* Access Control List
Interface Line
Multiple Spanning Tree VLAN Database
You must be in Privileged Exec mode to access the Global configuration mode. You must be in Global
Configuration mode to access any of the other configuration modes.
14.1 Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name and password “guest,” the system
enters the Normal Exec command mode (or guest mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only
a limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can access all commands only from the
Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new
console session with the user name and password “admin.” The system will now display the “Console#”
command prompt. You can also enter Privileged Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the
enable command, followed by the privileged level password “super”
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and passwords:
Username: admin
Password: [admin login password]
