Rev 1.6.9 1 Using the Command Line Interface This chapter explains how to use the command line interface (CLI) of MLNX-OS SwitchX®. 1.1 CLI Modes The CLI can be in one of three modes, and each mode makes available a certain group (or level) of commands for execution. The different CLI configuration modes are: Table 5 - CLI Modes and Config Context Mode/Context Standard Enable Config Config Interface Management Config Interface Ethernet Config Interface Port Channel Config Vlan Any Command Mode Description When the CLI is launched, it begins in Standard mode. This is the most restrictive mode and only has commands to query a restricted set of state information. Users cannot take any actions that directly affect the system, nor can they change any configuration. The "enable" command moves the user to Enable mode. This mode offers commands to view all state information and take actions like rebooting the system, but it does not allow any configuration to be changed. Its commands are a superset of those in Standard mode. To return to Standard mode, enter "disable". The "configure terminal" command moves the user from Enable mode to Config mode. Config mode is allowed only for user accounts in the "admin" role (or capabilities) - see "User Roles (Capabilities)". This mode has a full unrestricted set of commands to view anything, take any action, or change any configuration. Its commands are a superset of those in Enable mode. To return to Enable mode, enter "exit" or "no configure". Note that moving directly from/to Standard mode to/from Config mode is not possible. Configuration mode for management interface mgmt0, mgmt1 and loopback. Configuration mode for Ethernet interface. Configuration mode for Port channel (LAG). Configuration mode for VLAN. Several commands such as "show" can be applied within any context. Mellanox Technologies 18 Mellanox® Technologies Confidential
