Navigating CLI Modes

The Dell Force10 Operating Software (FTOS) prompt changes to indicate the
Command Line Interface (CLI) mode. You must move linearly through the
command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you
directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up
one command mode level.

Console Access

NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you
can Telnet into the Z9000 system. Therefore, you must use a console connection
when connecting to the system for the first time.
Serial Console
The RJ-45/RS-232 console port is labeled on the upper right-hand side as you
face the Input/Output (I/O) side of the Z9000 system.
To access the console port, follow these steps:
Step Task
