Chapter 2 Before You Begin Using the CLI Send documentation comments to [email protected] To start executing commands, enter the command at the top level of the hierarchy (EXEC mode). For example, to configure a Fibre Channel interface, use the config terminal command. Once you are in configuration mode, issue the interface command. When you are in the interface configuration submode, you can query the available commands there. The following example shows how to query the available commands in the interface submode: switch# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch(config)# interface fc1/1 switch(config-if)# ? Interface configuration commands: channel-group Add to/remove from a port-channel do EXEC command exit Exit from this submode fcdomain Configure fcdomain parameters fspf Configure FSPF parameters no Negate a command or set its defaults rspan-tunnel Configure remote span tunnel interface shutdown Enable/disable an interface switchport Configure switchport parameters EXEC Mode Options When you start a session on the switch, you begin in EXEC mode. Based on the role or group to which you belong, you have access to limited commands or to all commands (see the "Role-Based Authorization" section on page 39-1). From EXEC mode, you can enter configuration mode. Most of the EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which display the current configuration status. Here is a list of EXEC mode commands: switch# ? Exec commands: attach callhome cd clear cli clock config copy debug delete dir discover exit fcping fctrace find format gunzip gzip install ips isns mkdir modem move nasb no ping port-channel Connect to a specific linecard Callhome commands Change current directory Reset functions CLI commands Manage the system clock Enter configuration mode Copy from one file to another Debugging functions Delete a file List files in a directory Discover information Exit from the EXEC Ping an N-Port Trace the route for an N-Port.
