Understanding CLI Command Hierarchy

The CLI commands are organized hierarchically, with commands that perform similar functions grouped

under the same level. For example, all commands that display information about the system,

configuration, or hardware are grouped under the show command, and all commands that allow you to

configure the switch are grouped under the config terminal command.

of the config terminal command hierarchy.

CLI Command Hierarchy Example

To execute a command, you enter the command by starting at the top level of the hierarchy. For example,

to configure a Fibre Channel interface, use the config terminal command. Once you are in configuration

mode, issue the interface command. When you are in the interface submode, you can query the available

commands there.

The following example shows how to query the available commands in the interface submode:

switch# config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

switch(config)# interface fc1/1

switch(config-if)# ?

Interface configuration commands:
