MAC port security level
The MAC port security level allows you to configure the port security feature. You reach this level by
entering the global-port-security command at the at the Global or Interface levels.

Accessing the CLI

The CLI can be accessed through both serial and Telnet connections. For initial log on, you must
use a serial connection. Once an IP address is assigned, you can access the CLI through Telnet.
Once connectivity to the device is established, you will see the following prompt.

When accessing the CLI through Telnet, you maybe prompted for a password. By default, the
password required is the password you enter for general access at initial setup. You also have the
option of assigning a separate password for Telnet access with the enable telnet password
<password> command, found at the Global Level.
At initial log on, all you need to do is type enable at the prompt, then press Return. You only need to
enter a password after a permanent password is entered at the Global CONFIG Level of the CLI.
NOTE
If you install switch code on a router, the command prompt begins with "SW-" to indicate the software
change. This is true even if you change the system name.
To reach the Global CONFIG Level, the uppermost level of the CONFIG commands, enter the
following commands:
•

•
You can then reach all other levels of the CONFIG command structure from this point.
The CLI prompt will change at each level of the CONFIG command structure to easily identify the
current level.
