Using the Command-Line Interface

The command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way to manage and monitor the system. You
can access the CLI by using a direct serial connection or by using a remote logical connection
with Telnet or SSH.
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.

Clicking the Submit button sends the updated configuration to the switch.
Configuration changes take effect immediately, but some changes are not
retained across a power cycle unless you save them to the system configura-
tion file.
Clicking the Save button saves the current configuration to the system config-
uration file. When you click Save, changes that you have submitted are saved
even when you reboot the system. To save the configuration, use the Save
Changes link in the Tools menu.
Clicking the Refresh button refreshes the data on the panel.
Other packages in the software suite do not use tabs in the Web interface.
