4.1.2.11 Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify switch
settings. These commands modify the running configuration only and are not saved
when the switch is rebooted. To store the running configuration in non-volatile
storage, use the copy running-config startup-config command.
The configuration commands are organized into these modes:
■ Global Configuration – These commands modify the system level configuration,
and include commands such as hostname and snmp-server community.
■ Interface Configuration – These commands modify the port configuration such as
speed-duplex and negotiation.
■ Line Configuration – These commands modify the console port and Telnet
configuration, and include command such as exec-timeout and silent-time.
■ VLAN Configuration – Includes the command to create VLAN groups.
To enter the Global Configuration mode, type the command configure in
Privileged Exec mode. The system prompt changes to Console(config)#, which
gives you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.
