Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) Using the CLI When you use the CLI to make a configuration change, the switch writes the change to the Running-Config file in volatile memory. This allows you to test your configuration changes before making them permanent. To make changes permanent, you must use the write memory command to save them to the Startup-Config file in non-volatile memory. If you reboot the switch without first using write memory, all changes made since the last reboot or write memory (whichever is later) will be lost. For more on switch memory and saving configuration changes, see Chapter 6, "Switch Memory and Configuration". Privilege Levels at Logon Privilege levels control the type of access to the CLI. To implement this control, you must set at least a Manager password. Without a Manager password configured, anyone having serial port, Telnet, or web browser access to the switch can reach all CLI levels. (For more on setting passwords, refer to the chapter on usernames and passwords in the Access Security Guide for your switch.) When you use the CLI to log on to the switch, and passwords are set, you will be prompted to enter a password. For example: Password Prompt Figure 4-1. Example of CLI Log-On Screen with Password(s) Set In the above case, you will enter the CLI at the level corresponding to the password you provide (operator or manager). If no passwords are set when you log onto the CLI, you will enter at the Manager level. For example: ProCurve# _ 4-3
