Introduction
The Command Language Interface (CLI) is a network management application operated through
an ASCII terminal without the use of a Graphic User Interface (GUI) driven software application.
By directly entering commands, you have greater configuration flexibility. The CLI is a basic
command-line interpreter similar to the UNIX C shell.
A device can be configured and maintained by entering commands from the CLI, which is based
solely on textual input and output with commands being entered from a terminal keyboard and the
output displayed as text via a terminal monitor. The CLI can be accessed from a VT100 terminal
connected to the console port of the device or through a Telnet connection from a remote host.
This guide describes how the Command Line Interface (CLI) is structured, describes the
command syntax, and describes the command functionality.
This guide also provides information for configuring the PowerConnect switch, details the
procedures and provides configuration examples. Basic installation configuration is described in
the
User’s Guide
and must be completed before using this document.

Using the CLI 57
Using the CLI
This chapter describes how to start using the CLI and describes implemented command editing
features to assist in using the CLI.
CLI Command Modes
Introduction
To assist in configuring devices, the CLI [Command Line Interface] is divided into different
command modes. Each command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question
mark "
?
" at the system prompt (console prompt) displays a list of commands available for that
particular command mode.
From each mode a specific command is used to navigate from one command mode to another. The
standard order to access the modes is as follows:
User EXEC
mode,
Privileged EXEC
mode,
Global
Configuration
mode, and
Interface Configuration
mode. The following figure illustrates the
command mode access path.

58 Using the CLI
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
When starting a session, the initial mode is the User EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of
commands are available in User EXEC Mode. This level is reserved for tasks that do not change the
configuration. To enter the next level, the Privileged EXEC mode, a password is required.
The Privileged mode gives access to commands that are restricted on EXEC mode and provides
access to the device Configuration mode.
The Global Configuration mode manages the device configuration on a global level.
The Interface Configuration mode configures specific interfaces in the device.
User EXEC Mode
After logging into the device, the user is automatically in User EXEC command mode unless the
user is defined as a privileged user. In general, the User EXEC commands allow the user to perform
basic tests, and list system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the angle bracket (>).
The default host name is "Console" unless it has been changed using the
hostname
command in
the Global Configuration mode.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access is password protected to prevent unauthorized use because many of the privileged
commands set operating system parameters: The password is not displayed on the screen and is
case sensitive.
Privileged users enter directly into the Privileged EXEC mode. To enter the Privileged EXEC mode
from the User EXEC mode, perform the following steps:
1
At the prompt enter the command
enable
and press <Enter>. A password prompt is
displayed.
2
Enter the password and press <Enter>. The password is displayed as "*". The Privileged
EXEC mode prompt is displayed. The Privileged EXEC mode prompt consists of the device
"host name" followed by "
#
".
To return from Privileged Exec mode to User EXEC mode, type the
disable
command at the
command prompt.
console>
console#

Using the CLI 59
The following example illustrates how to access Privileged Exec mode and return back to the User
EXEC mode:
The Exit command is used to return from any mode to the previous mode except when returning
to User EXEC mode from the Privileged EXEC mode. For example, the Exit command is used to
return from the Interface Configuration mode to the Global Configuration mode
Global Configuration Mode
Global Configuration mode commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole, rather
than just a specific interface. The Privileged EXEC mode command
configure
is used to enter the
Global Configuration mode.
To enter the Global Configuration mode perform the following steps:"
1
At the Privileged EXEC mode prompt enter the command
configure
and press
<Enter>
.
The Global Configuration mode prompt is displayed. The Global Configuration mode
prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the word "(config)" and "
#
".
To return from the Global Configuration mode to the Privileged EXEC mode, the user can use one
of the following commands:
•exit
•end
• Ctrl+Z
The following example illustrates how to access Global Configuration mode and returns to the
Privileged EXEC mode:
console>enable
Enter Password: ******
console#
console#disable
console>
console(config)#
console#
console#configure
console(config)#exit
console#

Interface Configuration Mode and Specific Configuration Modes
Interface Configuration mode commands are to modify specific interface operations. The
following are the Interface Configuration modes:
•
Line Interface
—Contains commands to configure the management connections. These
include commands such as line speed, timeout settings, etc. The Global Configuration mode
command
line
is used to enter the Line Configuration command mode.
•
VLAN Database
—Contains commands to create a VLAN as a whole. The Global
Configuration mode command
vlan database
is used to enter the VLAN Database Interface
Configuration mode.
•
Management Access List
—Contains commands to define management access-lists. The
Global Configuration mode command
management access-list
is used to enter the
Management Access List Configuration mode.
•
Ethernet
—Contains commands to manage port configuration. The Global Configuration
mode command
interface ethernet
is used to enter
the Interface Configuration mode to
configure an Ethernet type interface.
•
Port Channel
—Contains commands to configure port-channels, for example, assigning ports
to a VLAN or port-channel. Most of these commands are the same as the commands in the
Ethernet interface mode, and are used to manage the member ports as a single entity. The
Global Configuration mode command
interface port-channel
is used to enter the Port
Channel Interface Configuration mode.
•
SSH Public Key-chain
—Contains commands to manually specify other device SSH public
keys. The Global Configuration mode command
crypto key pubkey-chain ssh
is used to enter
the SSH Public Key-chain Configuration mode.
•
Interface
—Contains commands that configure the interface. The Global Configuration
mode command
interface ethernet
is used to enter the Interface Configuration mode.
•
QoS—Contains commands related to service definitions. The Global Configuration mode
command qos config-services is used to enter the QoS services configuration mode.
Starting the CLI
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet
connection. The switch is managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt.
Using the switch command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure the device has an IP address defined, corresponding
management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the device is connected to the
device prior to using CLI commands.
NOTE: The following steps are for use on the console line only.
To start using the CLI, perform the following steps:

Using the CLI 61
1
Start the device and wait until the startup procedure is complete.
The User Exec mode is entered, and the prompt "Console>" is displayed.
2
Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.
3
When finished, exit the session with the
quit
or
exit
command.
When a different user is required to log onto the system, in the Privileged EXEC mode command
mode the
login
command is entered. This effectively logs off the current user and logs on the new
user.
Editing Features
Entering Commands
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and
arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command "
show interfaces status
ethernet g5
,"
show
,
interfaces
and
status
are keywords,
ethernet
is an argument that specifies the
interface type, and
g5
specifies the port.
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command
keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:
Console(config)#
username admin password smith
When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The command is not
selected from a menu but is manually entered. To see what commands are available in each mode
or within an interface configuration, the CLI does provide a method of displaying the available
commands, the command syntax requirements and in some instances parameters required to
complete the command. The standard command to request help is
?
.
There are two instances where the help information can be displayed:
•
Keyword lookup
—The character
?
is entered in place of a command. A list of all valid
commands and corresponding help messages are displayed.
•
Partial keyword lookup
—A command is incomplete and the character
?
is entered in place of
a parameter. The matched parameters for this command are displayed.
To assist in using the CLI, there is an assortment of editing features. The following features are
described:
• Terminal Command Buffer
• Command Completion
• Keyboard Shortcuts

62 Using the CLI
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Terminal Command Buffer
Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally managed Command
History buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are maintained on a
First In First Out (FIFO)
basis.These commands can be recalled, reviewed, modified, and reissued. This buffer is not
preserved across device resets.
By default, the history buffer system is enabled, but it can be disabled at any time. For information
about the command syntax to enable or disable the history buffer, see history.
There is a standard default number of commands that are stored in the buffer. The standard
number of 10 commands can be increased to 256. By configuring 0, the effect is the same as
disabling the history buffer system. For information about the command syntax for configuring the
command history buffer, see history size.
To display the history buffer, see show history.
Negating the Effect of Commands
For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword "
no
" can be entered to cancel the effect of a
command or reset the configuration to the default value. This guide describes the negation effect
for all applicable commands.
Command Completion
If the command entered is incomplete, invalid, or has missing or invalid parameters, then the
appropriate error message is displayed. This assists in entering the correct command. By pressing
the <Tab> button, an incomplete command is entered. If the characters already entered are not
enough for the system to identify a single matching command, press "?" to display the available
commands matching the characters already entered.
Incorrect or incomplete commands are automatically re-entered next to the cursor. If a parameter
must be added, the parameter can be added to the basic command already displayed next to the
cursor. The following example indicates that the command interface ethernet requires a missing
parameter.
Keyword Source or destination
Up-arrow key
Ctrl+P
Recalls commands in the history buffer, beginning with the most recent
command. Repeats the key sequence to recall successively older
commands.
Down-arrow key Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling
commands with the up-arrow key. Repeating the key sequence will recall
successively more recent commands.

Using the CLI 63
Keyboard Shortcuts
The CLI has a range of keyboard shortcuts to assist in editing the CLI commands. The following
table describes the CLI shortcuts.
CLI Command Conventions
When entering commands there are certain command entry standards that apply to all commands.
The following table describes the command conventions.
Keyboard Key Description
Up-arrow key Recalls commands from the history buffer, beginning with the most recent
command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively older commands.
Down-arrow key Returns the most recent commands from the history buffer after recalling
commands with the up arrow key. Repeating the key sequence will recall
successively more recent commands.
Ctrl+A Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line.
Ctrl+E Moves the cursor to the end of the command line.
Ctrl+Z / End Returns back to the Privileged EXEC mode from any mode.
Backspace key Moves the cursor back one space.
Convention Description
[ ] In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry.
{ } In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory
parameters separated by the
|
character. One option must be selected. For
example:
flowcontrol {auto|on|off}
means that for the
flowcontrol
command either
auto
,
on
or
off
must be selected.
Italic font
Indicates a parameter.
<Enter>
Any individual key on the keyboard. For example click
<Enter>
.
Ctrl+F4
Any combination keys pressed simultaneously on the keyboard.
Screen
Display
Indicates system messages and prompts appearing on the console.
all When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or parameters
and all is an option, the default for the command is all when no
parameters are defined. For example, the command interface range port-
channel has the option of either entering a range of channels, or selecting
all. When the command is entered without a parameter, it automatically
defaults to all.

The resulting configuration file is a combination of the previous "running configuration" and
the loaded "configuration file", with the loaded "configuration file" having precedence.
Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration
Use the
copy source-url startup-config
command to copy a "configuration file" from a
network server to the device "startup configuration". These commands replace the startup
configuration file with the copied configuration file.

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) mode
User Guidelines
• An access port would not dynamically join a VLAN because it is always a member in only one
VLAN.
• Membership in an untagged VLAN would be propagated in a same way as a tagged VLAN. i.e.
in such a case it’s the administrator’s responsibility to set the PVID to be the untagged VLAN
VID.
Example
The following example enables GVRP on ethernet g8.
garp timer
The

IP Addressing Commands 159
User Guidelines
• The
ip address dhcp
command allows any interface to dynamically learn its IP address by
using the DHCP protocol.
• Some DHCP Servers require that the DHCPDISCOVER message have a specific host name.
The most typical usage of the
ip address dhcp
hostname
host-name
command is when
host-
name
is the host name provided by the system administrator.
• If a device is configured to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, it sends a
DHCPDISCOVER message to provide information about itself to the DHCP server on the
network.
•If the
ip address dhcp
command is used with or without the optional keyword, the DHCP
option 12 field (host name option) is included in the DISCOVER message. By default, the
specified DHCP host name is the device globally configured host name.
• However, you can use the
ip address dhcp hostname
host-name
command to place a different
name in the DHCP option 12 field than the globally configured host name of the device.
• The
no ip address dhcp
command deconfigures any IP address that was acquired, thus
sending a DHCPRELEASE message.
Example
The following example acquires an IP address on an Ethernet interface from DHCP.
ip default-gateway
The
ip default-gateway
Global Configuration mode command defines a default gateway (router).
To remove the default gateway use the

180 LLDP Commands
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Command Modes
Interface configuration (Ethernet)
User Guidelines
• LLDP manages LAG ports individually. LLDP sends separate advertisements on each port in
a LAG. LLDP data received through LAG ports is stored individually per port.
• LLDP operation on a port is not dependent on STP state of a port. I.e. LLDP frames are sent
and received on blocked ports. If a port is controlled by 802.1X, LLDP operates only if the
port is authorized.
Examples
The following example enables Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on an interface (g5).

the timer value (Range: 2-10).
Default Configuraiton
The default configuration is 4.
Command Modes
Global configuration
User Guidelines
• The actual time-to-live value used in LLDP frames can be expressed by the following formula:
TTL = min(65535, LLDP-Timer * LLDP-HoldMultiplier). For example, if the value of LLDP
timer is '30', and the value of the LLDP hold multiplier is '4', then the value '120' is encoded in
the TTL field in the LLDP header.

• This command enables traffic on one port to be copied to another port, or between the source
port (src-interface) and a destination port (the port being configured). Only a single target
port can be defined per system.
• The port being monitored cannot be set faster than the monitoring port.
• The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be destination ports:
• The port cannot be already configured as a source port.
• The port cannot be a member in a port-channel.
• An IP interface is not configured on the port.
• GVRP is not enabled on the port.
• The port is not a member in any VLAN, except for the default VLAN (will automatically
be removed from the default VLAN).
• The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be source ports:
• Port monitoring Source Ports must be simple ports, and not port-channels.
• The port cannot be already configured as a destination port.
• All the frames are transmitted as either always tagged or always untagged.

206 Port Monitor Commands
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
General Restrictions:
• Ports cannot be configured as a group using the
interface range ethernet
command.
NOTE: The Port Mirroring target must be a member of the Ingress VLAN of all Mirroring source ports.
Therefore, multicast and broadcast frames in these VLANs are seen more than once. (Actually N, where
N is the number of mirroring source ports).
When both transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) directions of more than one port are monitored,
the capacity may exceed the bandwidth of the target port. In this case, the division of the
monitored packets may not be equal. The user is advised to use caution in assigning port
monitoring.

QoS Commands 211
User Guidelines
• You can use this command to distribute traffic into different queues, where each queue is
configured with different weighted round robin (WRR) parameters.
• To enable the expedite queues, use the
priority-queue out
Interface Configuration mode
command
wrr-queue cos-map
.
Example
The following example maps CoS 3 to queue 4.
wrr-queue bandwidth
The
wrr-queue bandwidth
Interface Configuration mode command assigns Weighted Round
Robin (WRR) weights to egress queues. The weights ratio determines the frequency in which the
packet scheduler dequeues packets from each queue. To return to the default values, use the
no
form of this command.
Syntax
wrr-queue bandwidth
weight1 weight2 ... weight_4
no wrr-queue bandwidth
•
weight1...weight_4
—Sets the bandwidth ratio by the WRR packet scheduler for the
packet queues. Separate each value by spaces. (Range: 6 - 255)
Default Configuration
The default WRR weight is 1/4 ratio for all queues (each weight set to 6).
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port channel) mode
User Guidelines
• The ratio for each queue is defined by the queue weight divided by the sum of all queue
weights (i.e., the normalized weight). This actually sets the bandwidth allocation of each
queue.
• A weight of 0 means no bandwidth is allocated for the same queue, and the share bandwidth
is divided among the remaining queues.
• All 4 queues are participating excluding the queues that are assigned as expedite queues. The
weights of these queues are ignored in the ratio calculation.
• All 4 queues participate in the WRR exclude the expedite queues, in which case the
corresponded weight is ignored (not used in the ratio calculation). The expedite queue is a
priority queue, and it is serviced until empty before the other queues are serviced.
Console (config)# wrr-queue cos-map 4 3

212 QoS Commands

—Assign the number of queues to be expedite queues. The expedite
queues would be the queues with higher indexes. (Range: 1 - 4)
Default Configuration
All queues are expedite queues.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
• When configuring the
priority-queue out num-of-queues
command, the weighted round
robin (WRR) weight ratios are affected because there are fewer queues participating in WRR.
• Queue 4 is taken as the highest index queue. Queue 3 is taken as the next highest queue. If
two priority queues are selected then queue 4 and 3 will be used. Leaving queue 2 and 1 for
WRR.
Console(config)# priority-queue num-of-queues 1
Console(config)# interface ethernet g1
Console(config-if)# wrr-queue bandwidth 20 30 50

252 SNMP Commands
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
• A user and notification view are not automatically created. Use the
snmp-server user
,
snmp-
server group
and
snmp-server view
Global Configuration mode commands to generate a user,
group and notify group, respectively.
Example
The following example configures an SNMPv3 host.
snmp-server engineID local
The
snmp-server engineID
local
Global Configuration mode command specifies the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) engineID on the local device. To remove the configured
engine ID, use the
no
form of this command.
Syntax
snmp-server engineID local
{
engineid-string
|
default
}
no snmp-server engineID local
•
engineid-string
— Specifies a character string that identifies the engine ID. (Range: 5-32
characters)
•
default
— The engine ID is created automatically based on the device MAC address.
Default Setting
The engine ID is not configured.
If SNMPv3 is enabled using this command, and the default is specified, the default engine ID
is defined per standard as:
• First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.
• Fifth octet — set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
• Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
• To use SNMPv3, you have to specify an engine ID for the device. You can specify your own ID
or use a default string that is generated using the MAC address of the device.
Console(config)# snmp-server v3-host 192.168.0.20 john noauth

SNMP Commands 253
If the SNMPv3 engine ID is deleted or the configuration file is erased, SNMPv3 cannot be
used. By default, SNMPv1/v2 are enabled on the device. SNMPv3 is enabled only by defining
the Local Engine ID.
If you want to specify your own ID, you do not have to specify the entire 32-character engine
ID if it contains trailing zeros. Specify only the portion of the engine ID up to the point where
just zeros remain in the value. For example, to configure an engine ID of
123400000000000000000000, you can specify snmp-server engineID local 1234.
Since the engine ID should be unique within an administrative domain, the following is
recommended:
• For a standalone device, use the default keyword to configure the engine ID.
• For a stackable system, configure the engine ID and verify its uniqueness.
Changing the value of the engine ID has the following important side-effect. A user's
password (entered on the command line) is converted to an MD5 or SHA security digest. This
digest is based on both the password and the local engine ID. The user’s command line
password is then destroyed, as required by RFC 2274. As a result, the security digests of
SNMPv3 users become invalid if the local value of the engine ID change, and the users will
have to be reconfigured.
You cannot specify an engine ID that consists of all 0x0, all 0xF or 0x000000001.
The
show running-config
Privileged EXEC mode command does not display the SNMP
engine ID configuration. To see the SNMP engine ID configuration, enter the snmp-server
engine ID local
GlobalConfiguration mode command.

User Guidelines
• The
traceroute
command works by taking advantage of the error messages generated by a
device when a datagram exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value.
• The
traceroute
command starts by sending probe datagrams with a TTL value of one. This
causes the first device to discard the probe datagram and send back an error message. The
traceroute
command sends several probes at each TTL level and displays the round-trip time
for each.
• The
traceroute
command sends out one probe at a time. Each outgoing packet may result in
one or two error messages. A "time exceeded" error message indicates that an intermediate
device has seen and discarded the probe. A "destination unreachable" error message indicates
that the destination node has received the probe and discarded it because it could not deliver
the packet. If the timer goes off before a response comes in, the
traceroute
command prints
an asterisk (*).
• The
traceroute
command terminates when the destination responds, when the maximum
TTL is exceeded, or when the user interrupts the trace with
Esc.

User Guidelines
• An internal usage VLAN is required when an IP interface is defined on Ethernet port or Port-
channel.
• Using this command the user can define the internal usage VLAN of a port.
• If an internal-usage is not defined for a Port, and the user wants to define an IP interface, the
software chooses one of the unused VLANs.
• If a VLAN ID was chosen by the software for internal usage, and the user wants to use that
VLAN ID for static or dynamic VLAN, he should either remove the IP interface, creates the
VLAN, and recreate the IP interface, or use this command to define explicit internal usage
VLAN.

The default behavior of the "aaa authentication" for dot1.x is "failed to authenticate". If the
8021.x calls the AAA for authentication services it will receive a fail status.
Command Mode
Global configuration mode
User Guidelines
• The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an
error, for example the authentication server is down, and not if the request for authenticate is
denied access. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error,
specify
none
as the final method in the command line.
• The radius server must support MD-5 challenge and EAP type frames.
Examples
The following example uses the
aaa authentication dot1x default
command with no
authentication.

auto—
Enable 802.1X authentication on the interface and cause the port to transition to
the authorized or unauthorized state based on the 802.1X authentication exchange
between the switch and the client.
•
force-authorized—
Disable 802.1X authentication on the interface and cause the port to
transition to the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. The
port resends and receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the
client.
•
force-unauthorized—
Deny all access through this interface by forcing the port to
transition to the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate.
The switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface.

User Guidelines
• An access port cannot be a member in an unauthenticated VLAN. The native VLAN of a
trunk port cannot be an unauthenticated VLAN. For a general port, the PVID can be the
Unauthenticated VLAN (although only tagged packets would be accepted in Unauthorized
state.)
Examples
The following example enables unauthorized users access to the VLAN.
EapolReqFramesTx The number of EAP Request frames (other than Rq/Id frames) that have
been transmitted by this Authenticator.
InvalidEapolFramesRx The number of EAPOL frames that have been received by this
Authenticator in which the frame type is not recognized.
EapLengthErrorFramesRx The number of EAPOL frames that have been received by this
Authenticator in which the Packet Body Length field is invalid.
LastEapolFrameVersion The protocol version number carried in the most recently received
EAPOL frame.
LastEapolFrameSource The source MAC address carried carried in the most recently received
EAPOL frame.

dot1x multiple-hosts
The
dot1x multiple-hosts
Interface Configuration mode command allows multiple hosts (clients)
on an 802.1X-authorized port, that has the
dot1x port-control
Interface Configuration mode
command set to
auto
. Use the
no
form of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax
dot1x multiple-hosts
no dot1x multiple-hosts
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default Configuration
Multiple hosts are disabled. If a port would join a port-channel, the state would be multiple
hosts as long as the port is member in the port-channel.
Multiple-hosts must be enabled if the user wants to disable ingress-filtering on this port.
Command Mode
Interface configuration (Ethernet) mode
User Guidelines
• This command enables the attachment of multiple clients to a single 802.1X-enabled port. In
this mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be
granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized, all attached clients are denied
access to the network.
• For unauthenticated VLANs multiple hosts are always enabled.
Examples
The following command allows multiple hosts (clients) on an 802.1X-authorized port.
dot1x single-host-violation
The
dot1x single-host-violation
Interface Configuration mode command configures the action to
be taken, when a station whose MAC address is not the supplicant MAC address, attempts to
access the interface. Use the
no
form of this command to return to default.
