Command Line Interface Modes - Allied Telesis AT-GS950/10PS User Manual

Command Line Interface Modes

The command line interface has two levels or modes with different
commands. The first mode is called the Privileged Exec mode. This mode
is displayed first when you log on the command line interface to manage
the switch. The command line prompt for this mode consists of the
switch's model name and the "#" symbol. Here is the prompt for the
Privileged Exec mode for the AT-GS950/28PS Switch:
ATGS950_28PS#
The Privileged Exec mode has commands that let you reset the switch,
restore the default values on the switch, display system information, and
more.
The second mode is called the Global Configuration mode. The prompt for
this mode consists of the switch's model name and "#(config)". Here is the
prompt for the Global Configuration mode for the AT-GS950/28PS Switch:
ATGS950_28PS#(config)
With the commands in the Global Configuration mode you can configure
IPv4 and IPv6 management addresses and SNMP community strings.
To move from the Privilege Exec mode to the Global Configuration mode,
you enter the Configure Terminal command, shown here:
ATGS950_28PS# configure terminal
ATGS950_28PS(config)#
To return to the Privilege Exec mode from the Global Configuration mode,
you enter the END command, shown here:
ATGS950_28PS(config)# end
ATGS950_28PS#
Note
The command line prompts in the examples in this guide are for the
AT-GS950/28PS Switch. You will see different prompts for other
switch models.
