4-4 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
Starting the Command Line Interface Initial Configuration
4.2 STARTING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
To start the Command Line Interface (CLI), power on the system, as described in 4.1, "Powering on the
RS 8000/8600." After the software is fully booted, press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI. If prompted for a
password, simply press Return; the factory default passwords for all access levels is blank.
4.2.1 CLI Access Modes
The CLI has four levels of access, each of which provides the ability to perform specific operations on the RS (see
Table 4-1).
Note
The command prompt will show the name of the router in front of the mode
character(s). The default name is “
rs
.” The procedure in Section 4.4, "Setting the
Basic System Information" describes how to change the system name.
When you are in Configure or Enable mode, use the
exit
command or press Ctrl+z to exit to the previous access mode.
Table 4-1 CLI access modes
Access Mode Description
User Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not allow
you to display SNMP, filter, and access control list information or make other configuration
changes. You are in User mode when the command prompt ends with the “
>
”character.
Enable Allows you to display SNMP, filter, and access control information, as well as all the
information you can display in User mode. To enter Enable mode, enter the
enable
command,
then supply the password when prompted. When you are in Enable mode, the command prompt
ends with the “
#
” character.
Configure Allows you to make configuration changes. To enter Configure mode, first enter Enable mode
(
enable
command), then enter the
configure
command. When you are in Configure mode,
the command prompt ends with “
(config)
.”
Boot This mode appears when the external PC card or the system image is not found during bootup.
Enter the
reboot
command to reset the RS. If the RS still fails to boot, contact Riverstone
Networks, Inc. technical support.
Certain tasks can be performed only from Boot mode. To enter the Boot mode intentionally, boot
the RSv, and then interrupted the normal bootup sequence by pressing the “Esc” key. When you
are in Boot mode, the command prompt is “
rs-boot>
.”
