Interface Configuration Mode and Specific Configuration Modes
Interface Configuration commands are to modify specific interface operations. The following are the Interface Configuration
modes:
ƒ Line Interface—Contains commands to configure the management connections. These include commands such as line
speed, timeout settings, etc. The Global Configuration mode command line is used to enter the line configuration
command mode.
ƒ VLAN Database—Contains commands to create a VLAN as a whole. The Global Configuration mode command vlan
database is used to enter the VLAN Database Interface Configuration mode.
ƒ Management Access List—Contains commands to define management access-lists. The Global Configuration mode
command management access-list is used to enter the Management Access List Configuration mode.
ƒ Ethernet—Contains commands to manage port configuration. The Global Configuration mode command interface
ethernet enters the Interface Configuration mode to configure an Ethernet type interface.
ƒ Port Channel—Contains commands to configure port-channels, for example, assigning ports to a VLAN or port-channel.
Most of these commands are the same as the commands in the Ethernet interface mode, and are used to manage the
member ports as a single entity. The Global Configuration mode command interface port-channel is used to enter the
port-channel Interface Configuration mode.
ƒ SSH Public Key-chain—Contains commands to manually specify other device SSH public keys. The Global
Configuration mode command crypto key pubkey-chain ssh is used to enter the SSH Public Key-chain Configuration
mode.
ƒ MAC Access-List—Configures conditions required to allow traffic based on MAC addresses. The Global Configuration
mode command mac-access list is used to enter the MAC access-list configuration mode.
ƒ Interface—Contains commands that configure the interface. The Global Configuration mode command interface
ethernet is used to enter the interface configuration mode.
5.2.2 Starting the CLI
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet connection. The switch can also
be managed via an out-of-band (OOB) management port. The switch is managed by entering command keywords and
parameters at the prompt. Using the switch command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has an IP address defined, that corresponding management access
is granted, and that the workstation used to access the device is connected to the device prior to beginning using CLI
commands.
