Asante Technologies IC36240 Series - Manual (Page 24)

In general, the top (privileged) commands allow you to change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic
tests, and list system information. To list the commands available in top mode, enter a question mark (?) at the
prompt, as shown in the following example. Enter a question mark (?) after a command to see all the options for that
command.

Important: To retain configuration changes after a system reload you must save changes made in running
configuration to the startup configuration file. From the privileged level, configurations can be saved using the write
command or by using the copy running-config startup-config command.
4.3 Global Configuration Mode
Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole, rather than just one protocol or
interface. Commands to enable a particular routing function are also global configuration commands. To enter the
global configuration mode, use the configure command.
The following example shows how to access and exit global configuration mode and list global configuration
commands.
Command Purpose
Switch# configure From privileged EXEC mode, enters global configuration mode.
Switch(config)# ? Lists the global configuration commands.
