About the Switch Prompt Chapter 1 CLI Overview Send documentation comments to [email protected] About the Switch Prompt If you are connected to the console port when the switch boots up, you see the output shown in Example 1-1. Note Refer to the Cisco MDS 9100 Series Hardware Installation Guide, the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide, the Cisco MDS 9216 Hardware Installation Guide, or the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide for installation and connection instructions. Once the switch is powered on successfully, you see the default switch prompt (switch#). You can perform embedded CLI operations, access command history, and use command parsing functions at this prompt. The switch gathers the command string upon detecting an Enter (CR) and accepts commands from a terminal.
