Configure Mode

The

configure terminal command moves the CLI from Enable mode to Configure mode.

• On the cluster’s master node, Configure mode has a full unrestricted set of commands to view

anything, take any action, or change any configuration. Its commands are a superset of those in

Enable mode.

• On nodes other than the master, Configure mode only includes commands that operate on the

local node. Using a global command on a standby or normal node either has a temporary local

effect (which is overridden as soon as the node synchronizes with the master node) or

produces an error message which identifies the master node where the command can be used.

The

exit command moves the CLI from Configure mode to Enable mode. Using the exit

command twice closes the CLI, or you can use the

quit command to close the CLI directly.

To return to Standard mode from Configure mode, first exit Configure mode and then disable the

Enable mode.

User accounts with the admin role can use all Configure mode commands.

Prompt and Response Conventions

The prompt format is:

The prompt begins with the hostname of the node and, in brackets, the cluster name and role of the

node in that cluster (master, standby, normal, or unknown). The end of the prompt string indicates

what command mode the CLI is in:

> for standard mode, # for Enable mode, or (config) # for

Configure mode.

For example, if the hostname of the master node is

gate1 and the cluster name is vmgCluster

then the prompts for each of the CLI modes are:

The role can be master, standby, normal, or unknown.

An asterisk (*) before the command prompt indicates that some configuration changes have not yet

been saved to the active configuration file.

Standard mode:

gate1 [vmgCluster: master] >

Enable mode:

gate1 [vmgCluster: master] #

Configure mode:

gate1 [vmgCluster: master] (config) #
