Command Line Reference Guide
EXEC Privilege Mode
The enable command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an “Enable” password, you
are prompted to enter it.
EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all the commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other commands, such as to
clear address resolution protocol (ARP) entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access CONFIGURATION mode to
configure interfaces, routes and protocols on the switch. While you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt
is displayed.
CONFIGURATION Mode
In EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter CONFIGURATION mode and configure routing
protocols and access interfaces.
To enter CONFIGURATION mode:
1. Verify that you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode.
2. Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
From this mode, you can enter INTERFACE mode by using the interface command.
INTERFACE Mode
You must use INTERFACE mode to configure interfaces or IP services on those interfaces. An interface can be physical
(for example, a Ten-Gigabit Ethernet port) or virtual (for example, the Null interface).
To enter INTERFACE mode:
1. Verify that you are logged in to CONFIGURATION mode.
2. Enter the interface command with an interface type and slot/port numbers.
The prompt changes, as listed below, to include the designated interface and slot/port numbers.
NOTE: On the S5000, the valid
slot
numbers are the supported stack-unit numbers (0 to 11). The valid
port
numbers
for each interface type are listed below.
