Global Configuration Mode; Interface Configuration Mode - Dell PowerConnect 6224 User Manual

Use the exit command to move back to a previous mode. For example, you can move from Interface
Configuration mode to Global Configuration mode, and from Global Configuration mode to Privileged
EXEC mode.

Global Configuration Mode

Global Configuration commands apply to system features, rather than to a specific protocol or interface.
To access Global Configuration mode:
1. 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 number sign #.
console(config)#
2. To list the Global Configuration commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.
3. To return from Global Configuration mode to Privileged EXEC mode, type the exit command or use
the <Ctrl><Z> command.
The following example illustrates how to access
EXEC Mode
:
console#
console#configure
console(config)#exit
console#
