• CONFIGURATION mode allows you to congure security features, time settings, set logging and SNMP functions, congure 
static ARP and MAC addresses, and set line cards on the system.
Beneath CONFIGURATION mode are submodes that apply to interfaces, protocols, and features. The following example shows the 
submode command structure. Two sub-CONFIGURATION modes are important when conguring the chassis for the rst time:
• INTERFACE submode is the mode in which you congure Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols and IP services specic to an interface. 
An interface can be physical (Management interface, 1 Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or synchronous optical network 
technologies [SONET]) or logical (Loopback, Null, port channel, or virtual local area network [VLAN]).
• LINE submode is the mode in which you to congure the console and virtual terminal lines.
NOTE: At any time, entering a question mark (?) displays the available command options. For example, when you are in 
CONFIGURATION mode, entering the question mark rst lists all available commands, including the possible submodes.
