ProSafe M4100 Series Managed Switches
the
no shutdown
configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the
command without the keyword
no
to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that
is disabled by default. Only the configuration commands are available in the
no
form.
Managed Switch Modules
Managed switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various
combinations to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command
modes available on your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some
show
commands, the output fields might change based on the modules included in the
software.
The software suite includes the following modules:
•
Switching (Layer 2)
•
Routing (Layer 3)
•
IPv6—IPv6 routing
•
Multicast
•
Quality of Service
•
Management (CLI, Web UI, and SNMP)
•
IPv6 Management—Allows management of the device through an IPv6 through an IPv6
address without requiring the IPv6 Routing package in the system. The management
address can be associated with the network port (front-panel switch ports) and a routine
interface (port or VLAN).
•
Stacking
Not all modules are available for all platforms or software releases.
Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the
command modes supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not
available until you switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode
commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current
mode.
Table
5
describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note:
The command modes available on your switch depend on the
software modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does
not support BGPv4 does not have the Router BGPv4 Command
Mode.
