2.4.3 Command prompt prefix
The command prompt prefix indicates the host name. In the default state, the host name is the model name "SWP1". This
indication can be changed by using the hostname command to specify the host name. In cases where multiple SWP1 units are
used, management will be easier if separate names are assigned to each switch.
Changing the host name
SWP1(config)# hostname Switch-012
Switch-012(config)#
2.4.4 Executing commands of a different input mode
Because the commands that can be used on the SWP1 differ depending on the mode, you must transition to the mode in which a
command can be executed before you execute that command. The do command is provided as a way to avoid this requirement.
By using the do command you can execute priviledged EXEC mode commands from any configuration mode. This allows you
to reference the current configuration or save settings from any configuration mode without having to transition to priviledged
EXEC mode.
However, since the completion function cannot be used with do, you must enter the command that follows either in its full
spelling or in its abbreviated form.
• Entry in full spelling
SWP1(config)#do show running-config
• Entry in abbreviated form
SWP1(config)#do sh ru
