Navigating CLI Modes

The Dell prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.

The following table lists the CLI mode, its prompt, and information about how to access and exit the CLI mode. Move linearly through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level.

  • NOTE: Sub-CONFIGURATION modes all have the letters “conf” in the prompt with more modifiers to identify the mode and slot/port information.
Table 1. Dell Command Modes

EXEC Privilege Dell#
  • From EXEC mode, enter the enable command.
  • From any other mode, use the end command.
CONFIGURATION Dell(conf)#
  • From EXEC privilege mode, enter the configure command.
  • From every mode except EXEC and EXEC Privilege, enter the exit command.
  • NOTE: Access all of the following modes from CONFIGURATION mode.
   
10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Dell(conf-if-te-0/1)# interface (INTERFACE modes)

MONITOR SESSION Dell(conf-mon-sess)# monitor session
