Using the CLI
■ Context Configuration level: Enables you to make configuration
changes in a specific context, such as the Ethernet interface or the
wireless interface. The prompt for the Context Configuration level
includes the system name and the selected context. For example:
HP420(if-ethernet)#
HP420(if-wireless-g)#
The Context level is useful, for example, if you want to execute several
commands directed at the same interface. To select this level, enter the
specific context at the Global Configuration level prompt. For example,
to select the context level for the Ethernet interface, you would enter the
following command:
HP420(config)#interface ethernet
HP420(if-ethernet)#
