• All sessions in Transaction-Based Conguration mode update the same candidate conguration. When you enter the commit
command on any session in Transaction-Based Conguration mode or you make conguration changes on any session in Non-
Transaction-Based mode, you also commit the changes made to the candidate conguration in all other sessions running in the
transaction-based conguration mode. This implies that inconsistent conguration changes may be applied to the running conguration.
Dell EMC recommends only making conguration changes on a single CLI session at a time.
• When you enter the lock command in a CLI session, conguration changes are disabled on all other sessions, whether they are in
Transaction-Based Conguration mode or Non-Transaction-Based Conguration mode. For more information, see Candidate
conguration.
CLI command hierarchy
CLI commands are organized in a hierarchy. Commands that perform a similar function are grouped together under the same level of
hierarchy. For example, all commands that display information about the system and the system software are grouped under the show
system command, and all commands that display information about the routing table are grouped under the show ip route command.
CLI command categories
There are several broad groups of CLI commands available:
copy Copies les from one location on a device to another, from a device to a remote system, or from a remote system
to a device.
congure Enters CONFIGURATION mode to congure routing protocols, interfaces, network management, and user access.
exit Moves up one command mode. To go directly to EXEC mode, use the end command.
CONFIGURATION Mode
When you initially log in to OS10, you are placed in EXEC mode. To access CONFIGURATION mode, enter the configure terminal
command. Use CONFIGURATION mode to manage interfaces, protocols, and features.
Interface mode is a sub-mode of CONFIGURATION mode. Interface mode is where you congure Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) protocols,
and IPv4 and IPv6 services specic to an interface:
• Physical interfaces include the Management interface and Ethernet ports
• Logical interfaces include Loopback, port-channel, and virtual local area networks (VLANs)
