1.4 Prompt And Response Conventions; User Roles (Capabilities); 1.6 Using The Negation Form - Mellanox Technologies Mellanox SX1018 Command Reference Manual

1.4 Prompt and Response Conventions

The prompt always begins with the hostname of the system. What follows depends on what com-
mand mode the user is in. To demonstrate by example, and assuming the machine name is
"switch-1", the prompts for each of the modes are:
switch [standalone: master] >
switch [standalone: master] #
switch [standalone: master] (config) #
The following session shows how to move between command modes:
switch [standalone: master] >
switch [standalone: master] > enable
switch [standalone: master] #
switch [standalone: master] # configure terminal
switch [standalone: master] (config) #
switch [standalone: master] (config) # exit
switch [standalone: master] #
switch [standalone: master] # disable
switch [standalone: master] >
Commands that succeed do not print any response and simply show the command prompt after
you press <Enter>.
If an error is encountered in executing a command, the response will begin with "%", followed by
some text describing the error.

1.5 User Roles (Capabilities)

There are two user roles or account types: admin and monitor. As "admin", the user is privileged to
run all the available commands. As "monitor", the user can run commands that show system con-
figuration and status, or set terminal settings.

1.6 Using the Negation Form

Several Config mode commands offer the negation form using the keyword "no". This no form
can be used to disable a function or to cancel certain command parameters or options. To re-enable
a function or to set cancelled command parameters or options, enter the command without the
"no" keyword (with parameter values if necessary).
