| 320 | | For configuration, you need to be in privileged mode. The magic word is "enable". "configure" brings you to the configuration prompt, which looks like this : |
| 321 | | {{{ |
| 322 | | sw-sb09(config)# |
| 323 | | }}} |
| 324 | | |
| 325 | | From here, you can enter different contexts according to what you are trying to configure: |
| 326 | | |
| 327 | | * `interface vlan n` - create/ configure VLAN n, n being the VLAN ID (some number) |
| | 329 | |
| | 330 | === The Basics: Admin modes, contexts === |
| | 331 | As with Cisco switches, you must be in privileged mode to make any configuration changes on the switch (or see the full list of commands). The magic word is "enable". Note how the switch does autocompletion; you don't need to type the whole command: |
| | 332 | |
| | 333 | {{{ |
| | 334 | > ena |
| | 335 | # |
| | 336 | }}} |
| | 337 | |
| | 338 | |
| | 339 | "configure" brings you to the configuration prompt, which looks like this : |
| | 340 | {{{ |
| | 341 | # config |
| | 342 | (config)# |
| | 343 | }}} |
| | 344 | |
| | 345 | All configurations, from port speed to the MoTD banner, are done from here. |
| | 346 | |
| | 347 | Here, different sets of commands bring you to different configuration modes specific to the feature you are trying to modify. the commands that bring you to the specialized modes are called "contexts." Some contexts we want to focus on throughout these pages are: |
| | 348 | |
| | 349 | * `vlan n` - create/configure standard VLANs, n being the VLAN ID (some number) |
| | 350 | * `interface vlan n` - create/ configure a virtual interface with both Layer 2 and 3 characteristics |
| 331 | | when in a different context, you can tell from how the prompt becomes "(config-if)." [[BR]] |
| 332 | | Ranges of ports and VLANs can be specified. For example, to config ports 1-4 and 30 at once: |
| | 354 | Don't worry even if they don't make sense now - The meanings of the contexts will be explained later in detail. |
| | 355 | |
| | 356 | {{{ |
| | 357 | (config)# interface vlan 8 |
| | 358 | (config-if)# |
| | 359 | (config-if)# interface gi 0/3 <<---switch to interface gigabitethernet context |
| | 360 | (config-if)# <<---note how prompt still shows up as "config-if" |
| | 361 | }}} |
| | 362 | As you can see, when you enter a context, the prompt becomes "(config-if)#." However, this prompt doesn't indicate what context you are using; you just have to remember what you are doing. The command `exit` lets you exit from contexts and enabled mode, or log out of the switch. |
| | 363 | |
| | 364 | There are also contexts that support ranges of interfaces/ports/VLANs. For example, to configure ports 1-4 and 30 at once: |
