Configuration Mode Options
Configuration mode allows you to make changes to the existing configuration. When you save the
configuration, these commands are preserved across switch reboots. Once you are in configuration
mode, you can enter interface configuration mode, zone configuration mode, and a variety of
protocol-specific modes. Configuration mode is the starting point for all configuration commands. When
you are in configuration mode, the switch expects configuration commands from the user.
The following example shows output from the
config terminal
command:
switch#
config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
Not all configuration mode commands that are available on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family are available
