Enterasys X-Pedition User Reference Manual 27
Chapter 4
Using the CLI
This chapter provides information about the X-Pedition’s Command Line Interface (CLI). The
X-Pedition provides a command line interface (CLI) to configure and manage the X-Pedition. In
this manual, example configurations show how to use the CLI commands to configure the
X-Pedition.
CLI commands are grouped by subsystems. For example, the set of commands that let you
configure and display IP routing table information all start with ip. Within the set of ip commands
are commands such as set, show, start, stop, configure, etc. The complete set of commands for
each subsystem is described in the Enterasys X-Pedition Command Line Interface Reference
Manual.
Command Modes
The CLI provides access to four different command modes. Each command mode provides a group
of related commands. This section describes how to access and list the commands available in each
command mode and explains the primary uses for each command mode.
User Mode
After you log in to the X-Pedition, you are automatically in User mode. The User commands
available are a subset of those available in Enable mode. In general, the User commands allow you
to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping.
The User mode command prompt consists of the X-Pedition name followed by the angle bracket
(>), as shown below:
The default name is X-Pedition unless it has been changed during initial configuration. Refer to the
XP Getting Started Guide for the procedures for changing the system name.
