Configuration Mode Commands
Configuration mode allows you to make changes to the existing configuration. When you save the
configuration, these commands are saved 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.
