3 Configuration Fundamentals The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface you can use to configure interfaces and protocols. The CLI is structured in modes for security and management purposes. Different sets of commands are available in each mode, and you can limit user access to modes using privilege levels. In Dell Networking OS, after you enable a command, it is entered into the running configuration file. You can view the current configuration for the whole system or for a particular CLI mode. To save the current configuration, copy the running configuration to another location. For more information, refer to Save the Running-Configuration. NOTE: You can use the chassis management controller (CMC) out-of-band management interface to access and manage an Aggregator using the Dell Networking OS command-line reference. For more information about how to access the CMC to configure an Aggregator, refer to the Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC) User's Guide on the Dell Support website at http:// support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pem/en/index.htm. Accessing the Command Line Access the command line through a serial console port or a Telnet session (Logging into the System using Telnet).

The Dell Networking OS CLI is divided into three major mode levels: • EXEC mode is the default mode and has a privilege level of 1, which is the most restricted level. Only a limited selection of commands is available, notably the show commands, which allow you to view system information. 20 Configuration Fundamentals
