1.1 Introduction to the CLI
A command line interface (CLI) is a user interface to interact with a switch. Through the
CLI on a switch, a user can enter commands to configure the switch and check output
information to verify the configuration. Each S3100-52P Ethernet switch provides an
easy-to-use CLI and a set of configuration commands for the convenience of the user
to configure and manage the switch.
The CLI on S3100-52P Ethernet switches provides the following features, and so has
good manageability and operability.
Hierarchical command protection: After users of different levels log in, they can
only use commands at their own, or lower, levels. This prevents users from using
unauthorized commands to configure switches.
Online help: Users can gain online help at any time by entering a question mark
(?).
Debugging: Abundant and detailed debugging information is provided to help
users diagnose and locate network problems.
Command history function: This enables users to check the commands that they
have lately executed and re-execute the commands.
