To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-more command after the pipe.
This is similar to the terminal length screen-length command except that the no-more option affects
the output of just the specified command. For example:
show running-config | no-more
FTOS#
You can filter a single command output multiple times. To do this, place the save option as the last
filter. For example:
command grep regular-expression
FTOS# |
other-regular-expression
To navigate to various CLI modes, use specific commands to launch each mode. Navigation to these
modes is described in the following sections.
When you initially log in to the switch, by default you are logged into EXEC mode. This mode allows
you to view settings and to enter EXEC Privilege mode to configure the device. While you are in
EXEC mode, the > prompt is displayed following the "hostname" prompt (which is "FTOS" by
default). You can change this using the hostname command. For more information, refer to the
hostname command. Each mode prompt is preceded by the hostname.
The enable command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an Enable
password, you are prompted to enter the password here.
EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other
commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access
CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are
logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt displays.
In EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter CONFIGURATION mode and
configure routing protocols and access interfaces.
To enter CONFIGURATION mode:
1. Verify that you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode.
2. Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
