Entering Configuration Mode

Configuration commands function in configuration mode only.

  1. Ensure you have entered administrator mode and the # prompt is displayed.

    Note: If you enter configuration mode from user mode, you may have limited permissions to make configuration changes. See Different CLI Modes and Prompts.

  2. Type config and press Enter.
  3. The config:# prompt appears, indicating that you have entered configuration mode.

    configure # prompt

  4. Now you can type any configuration command and press Enter to change the settings.

Important: To apply new configuration settings, you must issue the "apply" command before closing the terminal emulation program. Closing the program does not save any configuration changes. See Quitting Configuration Mode.
