The command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec

commands generally display information on system status or clear

statistical counters. Configuration commands, on the other hand, modify

interface parameters or enable certain switching functions. These classes

are further divided into different modes. Available commands depend on

the selected mode. You can always enter a question mark “?” at the

prompt to display a list of the commands available for the current mode.

The command classes and associated modes are displayed in the following

table:

When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name

and password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode

(or guest mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a

limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can

access all commands only from the Privileged Exec command mode (or

administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new console

session with the user name and password “admin.” The system will now

display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter Privileged

Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the

enable

command, followed by the privileged level password “super.”

To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and

passwords:

Username: admin

Password: [admin login password]

CLI session with the MS453490M is opened.

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].
