Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you depend on which mode you are currently in. Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.

You can start a CLI session through a console connection, through Telnet, a SSH, or by using the browser.

When you start a session, you begin in user mode, often called user EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of the commands are available in user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC commands are not saved when the switch reboots.

To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must enter a password to enter privileged EXEC mode. From this mode, you can enter any privileged EXEC command or enter global configuration mode.

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running configuration. If you save the configuration, these commands are stored and used when the switch reboots. To access the various configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and line configuration mode.

This table describes the main command modes, how to access each one, the prompt you see in that mode, and how to exit the mode.

Command Mode Summary

Exit Method

About This Mode

User EXEC

Begin a session using Telnet, SSH, or console.

Switch>

Enter logout or quit.

Use this mode to

- Change terminal settings.

- Perform basic tests.

- Display system information.

Privileged EXEC

While in user EXEC mode, enter the enable command.

Switch#

Enter disable to exit.

Use this mode to verify commands that you have entered. Use a password to protect access to this mode.

Global configuration

While in privileged EXEC mode, enter the configure command.

Switch(config)#

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, enter exit or end, or press Ctrl-Z.

Use this mode to configure parameters that apply to the entire switch.

VLAN configuration

While in global configuration mode, enter the vlan vlan-id command.

Switch(config-vlan)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter the exit command.

To return to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z or enter end.

Use this mode to configure VLAN parameters. When VTP mode is transparent, you can create extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs greater than 1005) and save configurations in the switch startup configuration file.

Interface configuration

While in global configuration mode, enter the interface command (with a specific interface).

Switch(config-if)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter exit.

To return to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z or enter end.

Use this mode to configure parameters for the Ethernet ports.

Line configuration

While in global configuration mode, specify a line with the line vty or line console command.

Switch(config-line)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter exit.

To return to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z or enter end.

Use this mode to configure parameters for the terminal line.

Using the Help System

You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also obtain a list of associated keywords and arguments for any command.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    help

2.    abbreviated-command-entry ?

3.    abbreviated-command-entry <Tab>

4.    ?

5.    command ?

6.    command keyword ?

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

help

Example:

Switch# help

Obtains a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

Step 2

abbreviated-command-entry ?

Example:

Switch# di?
dir disable disconnect

Obtains a list of commands that begin with a particular character string.

Step 3

abbreviated-command-entry <Tab>

Example:

Switch# sh conf<tab>
Switch# show configuration

Completes a partial command name.

Step 4

?

Example:

Switch> ?

Lists all commands available for a particular command mode.

Step 5

command ?

Example:

Switch> show ?

Step 6

command keyword ?

Example:

Switch(config)# cdp holdtime ?
<10-255> Length of time (in sec) that receiver must keep this packet

Lists the associated arguments for a keyword.

Understanding Abbreviated Commands

You need to enter only enough characters for the switch to recognize the command as unique.

This example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command in an abbreviated form:

Switch# show conf

No and Default Forms of Commands

Almost every configuration command also has a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to reenable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default values.

CLI Error Messages

This table lists some error messages that you might encounter while using the CLI to configure your switch.

Common CLI Error Messages

Error Message

Meaning

How to Get Help

% Ambiguous command: "show con"

You did not enter enough characters for your switch to recognize the command.

Reenter the command followed by a question mark (?) without any space between the command and the question mark.

The possible keywords that you can enter with the command appear.

% Incomplete command.

You did not enter all of the keywords or values required by this command.

Reenter the command followed by a question mark (?) with a space between the command and the question mark.

The possible keywords that you can enter with the command appear.

% Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.

You entered the command incorrectly. The caret (^) marks the point of the error.

Enter a question mark (?) to display all of the commands that are available in this command mode.

The possible keywords that you can enter with the command appear.

Configuration Logging

You can log and view changes to the switch configuration. You can use the Configuration Change Logging and Notification feature to track changes on a per-session and per-user basis. The logger tracks each configuration command that is applied, the user who entered the command, the time that the command was entered, and the parser return code for the command. This feature includes a mechanism for asynchronous notification to registered applications whenever the configuration changes. You can choose to have the notifications sent to the syslog.

Note

Only CLI or HTTP changes are logged.

Configuring the Command History

The software provides a history or record of commands that you have entered. The command history feature is particularly useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries, including access lists. You can customize this feature to suit your needs.

- Changing the Command History Buffer Size

- Recalling Commands

- Disabling the Command History Feature

Changing the Command History Buffer Size

By default, the switch records ten command lines in its history buffer. You can alter this number for a current terminal session or for all sessions on a particular line. This procedure is optional.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    terminal history [size number-of-lines]

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

terminal history [size number-of-lines]

Example:

Switch# terminal history size 200

Changes the number of command lines that the switch records during the current terminal session in privileged EXEC mode. You can configure the size from 0 to 256.

Recalling Commands

To recall commands from the history buffer, perform one of the actions listed in this table. These actions are optional.

Note

The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Ctrl-P or use the up arrow key

2.    Ctrl-N or use the down arrow key

3.    show history

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

Ctrl-P or use the up arrow key

Recalls commands in the history buffer, beginning with the most recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively older commands.

Step 2

Ctrl-N or use the down arrow key

Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling commands with Ctrl-P or the up arrow key. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively more recent commands.

Step 3

show history

Example:

Switch# show history

Lists the last several commands that you just entered in privileged EXEC mode. The number of commands that appear is controlled by the setting of the terminal history global configuration command and the history line configuration command.

Disabling the Command History Feature

The command history feature is automatically enabled. You can disable it for the current terminal session or for the command line. This procedure is optional.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    terminal no history

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

terminal no history

Example:

Switch# terminal no history

Disables the feature during the current terminal session in privileged EXEC mode.

Enabling and Disabling Editing Features

Although enhanced editing mode is automatically enabled, you can disable it and reenable it.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    terminal editing

2.    terminal no editing

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

terminal editing

Example:

Switch# terminal editing

Reenables the enhanced editing mode for the current terminal session in privileged EXEC mode.

Step 2

Switch# terminal no editing

Disables the enhanced editing mode for the current terminal session in privileged EXEC mode.

- Editing Commands Through Keystrokes

- Editing Command Lines That Wrap

Editing Commands Through Keystrokes

The keystrokes help you to edit the command lines. These keystrokes are optional.

Note

The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.

Editing Commands

Editing Commands

Description

Ctrl-B or use the left arrow key

Moves the cursor back one character.

Ctrl-F or use the right arrow key

Moves the cursor forward one character.

Ctrl-A

Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line.

Ctrl-E

Moves the cursor to the end of the command line.

Esc B

Moves the cursor back one word.

Esc F

Moves the cursor forward one word.

Ctrl-T

Transposes the character to the left of the cursor with the character located at the cursor.

Delete or Backspace key

Erases the character to the left of the cursor.

Ctrl-D

Deletes the character at the cursor.

Ctrl-K

Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the command line.

Ctrl-U or Ctrl-X

Deletes all characters from the cursor to the beginning of the command line.

Ctrl-W

Deletes the word to the left of the cursor.

Esc D

Deletes from the cursor to the end of the word.

Esc C

Capitalizes at the cursor.

Esc L

Changes the word at the cursor to lowercase.

Esc U

Capitalizes letters from the cursor to the end of the word.

Ctrl-V or Esc Q

Designates a particular keystroke as an executable command, perhaps as a shortcut.

Return key

Scrolls down a line or screen on displays that are longer than the terminal screen can display.

Note:
The More prompt is used for any output that has more lines than can be displayed on the terminal screen, including show command output. You can use the Return and Space bar keystrokes whenever you see the More prompt.

Space bar

Scrolls down one screen.

Ctrl-L or Ctrl-R

Redisplays the current command line if the switch suddenly sends a message to your screen.

Editing Command Lines That Wrap

You can use a wraparound feature for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts ten spaces to the left. You cannot see the first ten characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command. The keystroke actions are optional.

To scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, press Ctrl-B or the left arrow key repeatedly. You can also press Ctrl-A to immediately move to the beginning of the line.

Note

The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.

The following example shows how to wrap a command line that extends beyond a single line on the screen.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    access-list

2.    Ctrl-A

3.    Return key

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

access-list

Example:

Switch(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 10.15.22.25 255.255.255.0 10.15.22.35
Switch(config)# $ 101 permit tcp 10.15.22.25 255.255.255.0 10.15.22.35 255.25
Switch(config)# $t tcp 10.15.22.25 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.255.255.0 eq
Switch(config)# $15.22.25 255.255.255.0 10.15.22.35 255.255.255.0 eq 45

Displays the global configuration command entry that extends beyond one line.

When the cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) shows that the line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left.

Step 2

Ctrl-A

Example:

Switch(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 10.15.22.25 255.255.255.0 10.15.2$

Checks the complete syntax.

The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to show that the line has been scrolled to the right.

Step 3

Return key

Execute the commands.

The software assumes that you have a terminal screen that is 80 columns wide. If you have a different width, use the terminal width privileged EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.

Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command entries.

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see. Using these commands is optional.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    {show | more} command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

{show | more} command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

Example:

Switch# show interfaces | include protocol
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/2 is up, line protocol is up

Searches and filters the output.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output are not displayed, but the lines that contain output appear.

Accessing the CLI on a Switch Stack

You can access the CLI through a console connection, through Telnet, a SSH, or by using the browser.

You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the . You cannot manage stack members on an individual switch basis. You can connect to the through the console port or the Ethernet management port of one or more stack members. Be careful with using multiple CLI sessions on the . Commands that you enter in one session are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore, it is possible to lose track of the session from which you entered commands.

Note

We recommend using one CLI session when managing the switch stack.

If you want to configure a specific stack member port, you must include the stack member number in the CLI command interface notation.

Accessing the CLI Through a Console Connection or Through Telnet

Before you can access the CLI, you must connect a terminal or a PC to the switch console or connect a PC to the Ethernet management port and then power on the switch, as described in the hardware installation guide that shipped with your switch.

If your switch is already configured, you can access the CLI through a local console connection or through a remote Telnet session, but your switch must first be configured for this type of access.

You can use one of these methods to establish a connection with the switch:

- Connect the switch console port to a management station or dial-up modem, or connect the Ethernet management port to a PC. For information about connecting to the console or Ethernet management port, see the switch hardware installation guide.

- Use any Telnet TCP/IP or encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) package from a remote management station. The switch must have network connectivity with the Telnet or SSH client, and the switch must have an enable secret password configured.

- The switch supports up to 16 simultaneous Telnet sessions. Changes made by one Telnet user are reflected in all other Telnet sessions.

- The switch supports up to five simultaneous secure SSH sessions.

After you connect through the console port, through the Ethernet management port, through a Telnet session or through an SSH session, the user EXEC prompt appears on the management station.

min-rssi

Minimum received signal strength indicator (RSSI) that is required for the client to associate to the access point. If the client’s average received signal power dips below this threshold, reliable communication is usually impossible. Clients must already have found and roamed to another access point with a stronger signal before the minimum RSSI value is reached. The valid range is –80 to –90 dBm, and the default value is –85 dBm.

roam-hyst

How much greater the signal strength of a neighboring access point must be in order for the client to roam to it. This parameter is intended to reduce the amount of roaming between access points if the client is physically located on or near the border between the two access points. The valid range is 2 to 4 dB, and the default value is 2 dB.

scan-thresh

Minimum RSSI that is allowed before the client should roam to a better access point. When the RSSI drops below the specified value, the client must be able to roam to a better access point within the specified transition time. This parameter also provides a power-save method to minimize the time that the client spends in active or passive scanning. For example, the client can scan slowly when the RSSI is above the threshold and scan more rapidly when the RSSI is below the threshold. The valid range is –70 to –77 dBm, and the default value is –72 dBm.

trans-time

Maximum time allowed for the client to detect a suitable neighboring access point to roam to and to complete the roam, whenever the RSSI from the client’s associated access point is below the scan threshold. The valid range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default value is 5 seconds.

Modification

Cisco IOS XE 3.2SE

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If you enable coverage hole detection, the switch automatically determines, based on data that is received from the access points, whether any access points have clients that are potentially located in areas with poor coverage.

If both the number and percentage of failed packets exceed the values that you entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data packet-count count and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data fail-percentage percentage commands for a 5-second period, the client is considered to be in a pre-alarm condition. The switch uses this information to distinguish between real and false coverage holes and excludes clients with poor roaming logic. A coverage hole is detected if both the number and percentage of failed clients meet or exceed the values entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage exception and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage level commands over a 90-second period. The switch determines whether the coverage hole can be corrected and, if appropriate, mitigates the coverage hole by increasing the transmit power level for that specific access point.

Examples

This example shows how to specify the percentage of clients for an access point 2.4 GHz radio that is experiencing a low signal level:

Switch# ap name AP2 dot11 24ghz rrm coverage exception 25%

Usage Guidelines

Aggregation is the process of grouping packet data frames together rather than transmitting them separately. The two aggregation methods available are:

- A-MPDU—This aggregation is performed in the software.

- A-MSDU—This aggregation is performed in the hardware

Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit priority levels assigned per traffic type are as follows:

- 0—Best effort

- 1—Background

- 2—Spare

- 3—Excellent effort

- 4—Controlled load

- 5—Video, less than 100-ms latency and jitter

- 6—Voice, less than 10-ms latency and jitter

- 7—Network control

- all—Configure all of the priority levels at once.

Note

Configure the priority levels to match the aggregation method used by the clients.

value

Percentage of clients. Valid values are from 0 to 100%.

Note:
The default is 25%.

level

Specifies the minimum number of clients on an access point with a received signal strength indication (RSSI) value at or below the data or voice RSSI threshold.

Modification

Cisco IOS XE 3.2SE

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If you enable coverage hole detection, the switch automatically determines, based on data that is received from the access points, whether any access points have clients that are potentially located in areas with poor coverage.

If both the number and percentage of failed packets exceed the values that you entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data packet-count count and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data fail-percentage percentage commands for a 5-second period, the client is considered to be in a pre-alarm condition. The switch uses this information to distinguish between real and false coverage holes and excludes clients with poor roaming logic. A coverage hole is detected if both the number and percentage of failed clients meet or exceed the values entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage exception and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage level commands over a 90-second period. The switch determines whether the coverage hole can be corrected and, if appropriate, mitigates the coverage hole by increasing the transmit power level for that specific access point.

Examples

This example shows how to specify the percentage of clients for an access point 2.4 GHz radio that is experiencing a low signal level:

Switch# ap name AP2 dot11 24ghz rrm coverage exception 25%

This example shows how to specify the minimum number of clients on an 802.11b access point with an RSSI value at or below the RSSI threshold:

To configure coverage hole detection settings on the 2.4 GHz band, use the ap name dot11 24ghz rrm coverage command.

ap name ap-name dot11 24ghz rrm coverage { exception value | level value }

Syntax Description

ap-name

Name of the Cisco access point.

exception

Specifies the percentage of clients on an access point that are experiencing a low signal level but cannot roam to another access point.

value

Percentage of clients. Valid values are from 0 to 100%.

Note:
The default is 25%.

level

Specifies the minimum number of clients on an access point with a received signal strength indication (RSSI) value at or below the data or voice RSSI threshold.

Usage Guidelines

If you enable coverage hole detection, the switch automatically determines, based on data that is received from the access points, whether any access points have clients that are potentially located in areas with poor coverage.

If both the number and percentage of failed packets exceed the values that you entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data packet-count count and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage data fail-percentage percentage commands for a 5-second period, the client is considered to be in a pre-alarm condition. The switch uses this information to distinguish between real and false coverage holes and excludes clients with poor roaming logic. A coverage hole is detected if both the number and percentage of failed clients meet or exceed the values entered in the ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage exception and ap dot11 24ghz rrm coverage level commands over a 90-second period. The switch determines whether the coverage hole can be corrected and, if appropriate, mitigates the coverage hole by increasing the transmit power level for that specific access point.

Usage Guidelines

When the sniffer feature is enabled on an access point, it starts sniffing the signal on the given channel. It captures and forwards all the packets to the remote computer that runs Omnipeek, Airopeek, AirMagnet, or Wireshark software. It includes information on the timestamp, signal strength, packet size and so on.

Before an access point can act as a sniffer, a remote computer that runs one of the listed packet analyzers must be set up so that it can receive packets sent by the access point. After the Airopeek installation, copy the following .dll files to the location where airopeek is installed:

- socket.dll file to the Plug-ins folder (for example, C:\Program Files\WildPackets\AiroPeek\Plugins)

- socketres.dll file to the PluginRes folder (for example, C:\Program Files\WildPackets\AiroPeek\1033\PluginRes)

Examples

This example shows how to enable sniffing on the 802.11a access point primary switch:

Switch# ap name TSIM_AP2 sniff dot11a 23 192.0.2.54
