Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command
modes supports specific 200 Series software commands. The commands in one mode are not available
until you switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode commands. You can
execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current mode. Table 7
on page 14 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note
The command modes available on your switch depend on the software modules that are
installed. For example, a switch that does not support BGPv4 does not have the BGPv4
Router Command Mode.
Note
As shown in Table 7, most command prompts begin with Extreme nnn where nnn is the
switch's model number – for example, Extreme 220.
Table 7: CLI Command Modes
Command Mode Prompt Mode Description
User EXEC Extreme nnn> Contains a limited set of commands to view basic
system information.
Privileged EXEC Extreme nnn# Allows you to issue any EXEC command, enter
the VLAN mode, or enter the Global Configuration
mode.
Global Config Extreme nnn (Config)# Groups general setup commands and permits you
to make modifications to the running
configuration.
VLAN Config Extreme nnn (Vlan)#
or
Extreme nnn (Vlan vlan_id)#
Groups all the VLAN commands.
Interface Config Extreme nnn (Interface unit/slot/
port)#
Extreme nnn (Interface Loopback id)#
Extreme nnn (Interface Tunnel id)#
Extreme nnn (Interface unit/slot/
port (startrange)-unit/slot/
port(endrange)#
Manages the operation of one or more interfaces
and provides access to the router interface
configuration commands.
Use this mode to set up a physical port for a
specific logical connection operation.
You can also use this mode to manage the
operation of a set of interfaces or a range of
interfaces. For example:
•
Extreme nnn (Interface
1/0/1,1/0/3) # manages interfaces
1/0/1 and 1/0/3.
•
Extreme nnn (Interface
1/0/1-1/0/4) # manages the range of
interfaces from 1/0/1 through 1/0/4.
Extreme nnn (Interface vlan vlan-id)# Enters VLAN routing interface configuration mode
for the specified VLAN ID.
