Navigate CLI modes
The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command
modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit
command which moves you up one command mode level.
Default Configuration
A version of FTOS is preloaded onto the S5000; however, the system is not configured when you power
up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is FTOS). You must configure the system
using the CLI.
Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
To enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface, use the switchport command in
INTERFACE mode. You cannot configure switching or Layer 2 protocols, such as spanning tree protocol
(STP), on an interface unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode.
1. Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
2. Place the interface in Layer 2 (switching) mode
INTERFACE mode
switchport
To view the interfaces in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC
mode.
Accessing the System Remotely
You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet.
The system has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the
IP routing table.
1. Configure an IP address for the management port (refer to Configuring the Management Port IP
Address).
2. Configure a management route with a default gateway (refer to Configuring a Management Route).
3. Configure a username and password (refer to Configuring a Username and Password).
