Displaying All Output, Filtering Command Output Multiple Times, Command Modes, EXEC Mode

Page 20 highlights

www.dell.com | support.dell.com Displaying All Output To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-more command after the pipe. This is similar to the terminal length screen-length command except that the no-more option affects the output of just the specified command. For example: FTOS#show running-config | no-more Filtering Command Output Multiple Times You can filter a single command output multiple times. To do this, place the save option as the last filter. For example: FTOS# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-regular-expression | find regular-expression | no-more | save Command Modes To navigate to various CLI modes, use specific commands to launch each mode. Navigation to these modes is described in the following sections. EXEC Mode When you initially log in to the switch, by default you are logged into EXEC mode. This mode allows you to view settings and to enter EXEC Privilege mode to configure the device. While you are in EXEC mode, the > prompt is displayed following the "hostname" prompt (which is "FTOS" by default). You can change this using the hostname command. For more information, refer to the hostname command. Each mode prompt is preceded by the hostname. EXEC Privilege Mode The enable command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an Enable password, you are prompted to enter the password here. EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt displays. CONFIGURATION Mode In EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter CONFIGURATION mode and configure routing protocols and access interfaces. To enter CONFIGURATION mode: 1. Verify that you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode. 2. Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf). 18 | CLI Basics

CLI Basics
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Displaying All Output
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the
no-more
command after the pipe.
This is similar to the
terminal
length
screen-length
command except that the
no-more
option affects
the output of just the specified command. For example:
FTOS#
show running-config | no-more
Filtering Command Output Multiple Times
You can filter a single command output multiple times. To do this, place the
save
option as the last
filter. For example:
FTOS#
command
|
grep
regular-expression
|
except
regular-expression
|
grep
other-regular-expression
|
find
regular-expression
|
no-more | save
Command Modes
To navigate to various CLI modes, use specific commands to launch each mode. Navigation to these
modes is described in the following sections.
EXEC Mode
When you initially log in to the switch, by default you are logged into EXEC mode. This mode allows
you to view settings and to enter EXEC Privilege mode to configure the device. While you are in
EXEC mode, the
>
prompt is displayed following the “hostname” prompt (which is “FTOS” by
default). You can change this using the
hostname
command. For more information, refer to the
hostname
command. Each mode prompt is preceded by the hostname.
EXEC Privilege Mode
The
enable
command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an
Enable
password, you are prompted to enter the password here.
EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other
commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access
CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are
logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the
#
prompt displays.
CONFIGURATION Mode
In EXEC Privilege mode, use the
configure
command to enter CONFIGURATION mode and
configure routing protocols and access interfaces.
To enter CONFIGURATION mode:
1.
Verify that you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode.
2.
Enter the
configure
command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
