To access Global Configuration mode, at the Privileged EXEC Mode prompt,
type configure and press <Enter>. The Global Configuration mode displays
as the device host name followed by (config) and the pound sign #.
console# configure
console(configure)#
To list the Global Configuration commands, enter a question mark at the
command prompt.
The following example illustrates how to access Global Configuration mode
and return back to the Privileged EXEC mode:
console#
console# configure
console(config)# exit
console#
Interface Configuration Mode
The Interface Configuration mode configures the device at the physical
interface level (port, VLAN, or LAG). Interface commands that require
subcommands have another level, called the Subinterface Configuration
mode. A password is not required to access this level.
The following example, places the CLI in Interface Configuration mode on
port 1/0/1. The sntp command is then applied to that port.
console# configure
console(config)# interface gi1/0/1
console(config-if)# sntp client enable
To run a command in a mode, which does not contain it, use do before the
command, as in the following example:
console# configure
console(config)# interface gi1/0/1
console(config-if)# sntp client enable
console(config-if)# do show sntp configuration
