Note
The following steps are for use on the console line only.
To start using the CLI, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the DB9 null-modem or cross over cable to the RS-232 serial port of the device to the RS-232 serial
port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation application.
a) Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
b) Set Flow Control to none .
c) Under Properties , select VT100 for Emulation mode.
d) Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys . Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys
(not Windows keys ).
Note
When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft® Windows 2000,ensure that Windows® 2000 Service Pack 2
or later is installed.With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in
HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service
packs.
2. Enter the following commands to begin the configuration procedure:
Console> enable
Console# configure
Console(config)#
3. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.
4. When finished, exit the session with the exit command.
When a different user is required to log onto the system, use the login Privileged EXEC mode command. This
effectively logs off the current user and logs on the new user.
Editing Features
Entering Commands
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and arguments specify
configuration parameters. For example, in the command
show interfaces status ethernet 1/11 , show ,
interfaces and status are keywords, ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type, and 1/11 specifies
the port.
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command keyword. For
example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:
Console(config)# username admin password alansmith
When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The command is not selected from a menu,
but is manually entered. To see what commands are available in each mode or within an interface configuration,
the CLI does provide a method of displaying the available commands, the command syntax requirements and in
some instances parameters required to complete the command. The standard command to request help is
? .
There are two instances where help information can be displayed:
