Chapter 5. Global Configuration Commands - Symbol WS5100 Series Cli Reference Manual

Global Configuration Commands
The term global is used to indicate characteristics or features that affect the system as a whole.
Global configuration mode is used to configure the system globally, or to enter specific configuration
modes to configure specific elements such as interfaces or protocols. Use the configure terminal
command, under PRIV EXEC, to enter global configuration mode.
The example below describes the process of entering global configuration mode from privileged EXEC
mode:
WS5100# configure terminal
WS5100(config)#
NOTE The system prompt changes to indicate that you are now in global
configuration mode. The prompt for global configuration mode consists of
the host-name of the device followed by (config) and the pound sign (#).
