22 CHAPTER 1: USING THE CLI
■ Ethernet — Contains commands to manage port configuration. The
interface ethernet Global Configuration mode command is used to
enter the Interface Configuration mode to configure an Ethernet type
interface.
■ Port Channel — Contains commands to configure port-channels, for
example, assigning ports to a port-channel. Most of these commands
are the same as the commands in the Ethernet interface mode, and
are used to manage the member ports as a single entity. The
interface port-channel Global Configuration mode command is
used to enter the Port Channel Interface Configuration mode.
■ SSH Public Key-chain — Contains commands to manually specify
other device SSH public keys. The crypto key pubkey-chain ssh
Global Configuration mode command is used to enter the SSH Public
Key-chain Configuration mode.
■ QoS — Contains commands related to service definitions. The qos
Global Configuration mode command is used to enter the QoS
services configuration mode.
■ MAC Access-List — Configures conditions required to allow traffic
based on MAC addresses. The mac access-list Global Configuration
mode command is used to enter the MAC access-list configuration
mode.
Starting the CLI The device can be managed over a direct connection to the device
console port or via a Telnet connection. The device is managed by
entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the
device command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands
on a UNIX system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has a defined IP
address, corresponding management access is granted, and the
workstation used to access the device is connected to the device prior to
using CLI commands.
The following instructions are for use on the console line only.
