The X series switches are focused on being configured from the GUI.  Not all commands are available in the CLI. 

That's a sad news, seems I picked a wrong product...

Is there anything on the roadmap to add more commands to X-series cli?

And which series of product would have a full functional CLI? I'm looking for a 10G switch with more than 8 ports, which has Cisco style CLI to configure VLAN, L2 access port and trunk ports via CLI.

Best Regards

Daniel

I do not have any information on the future plans. The N series and the S series switches are full CLI. 

Hi

Not that this helps you, but I also think this switch **bleep** big time!  If you lose access to the IP of the switch you can no longer configure in the GUI and you can't recover from the COM cli - very very bad!   All I needed to do was issue a no switchport command to get back in, but now I have to go 60 miles to fix it.

What did you do in the end, did you buy a different switch?

Just tossing this out for consideration...

Have you entered the switch interface configuration subsystem first? On my switch (different than yours), you enter the interface name first, then define the VLAN it belongs to. Example:

interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
 switchport access vlan 300
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
 switchport access vlan 300
!

HI Joel

Unfortunately there is no option to add the switchport commands at the prompt, I can change to the interface but no switchport.  All I have at the interface config port is 

do, end, exit, help (which is no help), ip and lldp.

Even the Dell engineer was frustrated that there is so few commands at the prompt.

You know, I was just being curios and I've downloaded the running configuration of the x1052p, and swithport is there.

This switch can run the command switchport, but is disabled for you to run it at will. So there are no hopes at all to be on a road map, because it always have been there.

interface gigabitethernet1/0/39
 switchport access vlan 10 
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/40
 switchport access vlan 1000 
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/41
 switchport mode trunk 
 switchport access vlan 1000 
 switchport trunk native vlan 255 
 switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 3-9,15,17-167,169-254,256-999 
 switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1006-1099,1110-1167,1169-1999 
 switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 2003-4094 
!

The sad part is that we just upgraded to a N1548 and we had to give up the rails for rack mounting, so it is annoying to see a "cheap" switch like the X1052 to be equipped with rails but with a limited CLI interface and get a more expensive switch loosing some features that are included in a lower end one.
