Configuration Commands and the Context
Configuration Modes
You can execute any configuration command in the global configuration mode
or in selected context modes. However, using a context mode enables you to
execute context-specific commands faster, with shorter command strings.
The switch offers interface (port or trunk group) and VLAN context configu­
ration modes:
Port or Trunk-Group Context . Includes port- or trunk-specific com­
mands that apply only to the selected port(s) or trunk group, plus the global
configuration, Manager, and Operator commands. The prompt for this mode
includes the identity of the selected port(s):
HPswitch(config)# interface c3-c6
HPswitch(eth-C5-C8)#
HPswitch(config)# interface trk1
HPswitch(eth-Trk1)#
Commands executed at configuration level for entering port and
trk1 static trunk-group contexts, and resulting prompts showing
port or static trunk contexts..
HPswitch(eth-C5-C8)#
HPswitch(eth-Trk1)#
HPswitch(eth-C5-C8)# ?
HPswitch(eth-C5-C8)# ?
Lists the commands you can use in the port or static trunk context,
plus the Manager, Operator, and context commands you can exe­
cute at this level.
