Interface Configuration Mode and Specific Configuration Modes
Interface Configuration mode commands are used to modify specific interface operations. The
following are the Interface Configuration modes:
Line Interface — Contains commands to configure the management connections. These
•
include commands such as line timeout settings, etc. The Global Configuration mode
command line is used to enter the Line Configuration command mode.
•
VLAN Database — Contains commands to create a VLAN as a whole. The Global
Configuration mode command vlan database is used to enter the VLAN Database Interface
Configuration mode.
•
Management Access List — Contains commands to define management access-lists. The
Global Configuration mode command management access-list is used to enter the
Management Access List Configuration mode.
•
Ethernet — Contains commands to manage port configuration. The Global Configuration
mode command interface ethernet is used to enter the Interface Configuration mode to
configure an Ethernet type interface.
•
Port Channel — Contains commands to configure port-channels, for example, assigning
ports to a port-channel. Most of these commands are the same as the commands in the
Ethernet interface mode, and are used to manage the member ports as a single entity. The
Global Configuration mode command interface port-channel is used to enter the Port
Channel Interface Configuration mode.
•
SSH Public Key-chain — Contains commands to manually specify other Ethernet Switch
Module SSH public keys. The Global Configuration mode command crypto key pubkey-
chain ssh is used to enter the SSH Public Key-chain Configuration mode.
•
QoS — Contains commands related to service definitions. The Global Configuration
mode command qos is used to enter the QoS services configuration mode.
Starting the CLI
The Ethernet Switch Module can be managed over a direct connection to the Ethernet Switch
Module console port or via a Telnet connection. The Ethernet Switch Module is managed by
entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the Ethernet Switch Module
command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure the Ethernet Switch Module has an IP address defined,
corresponding management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the Ethernet
Switch Module is connected to the Ethernet Switch Module prior to using CLI commands.
NOTE:
To start using the CLI, perform the following steps:
Ensure the Ethernet Switch Module is installed in the Dell Modular Server Chassis, see Dell

PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module User's Guide.

Using the CLI
The following steps are for use on the console line only.
