Accessing the Command Line

When the system boots successfully, you are positioned on the command line in EXEC mode and not prompted to log in. You can access the commands through a serial console port or a Telnet session. When you Telnet into the switch, you are prompted to enter a login name and password.

Example

telnet 172.31.1.53
                                          Trying 172.31.1.53...
                                          Connected to 172.31.1.53.
                                          Escape character is '^]'.
                                          Login: username
                                          Password: 
                                          Dell>

After you log in to the switch, the prompt provides you with the current command-level information. For example:

Prompt	CLI Command Mode
`Dell>`	EXEC
`Dell#`	EXEC Privilege
`Dell(conf)#`	CONFIGURATION

NOTE: For a list of all the command mode prompts, refer to the Command Modes Modes section.
