===================================================================================
===========================
Objectives
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
• Set your gear in factory values
• Navigate through the AOS-CX command line interface (CLI)
• Define a hostname on 6300-A switch
• Disable unused interfaces
• Save device’s configuration and create checkpoints
=======================================================
Task 1: Explore the AOS-CX Switch CLI
=======================================================
===================
6300A
===================
1. Open a console connection to the 6300-A. Login using admin and no password.
2. Hit the [?] key to show the available commands that you can execute in the
current command context.
6300# ?
6300# show ?
6300# disable
6300> ?
6300> enable
6300#
6300# co[tab][tab]
6300# configure
6300(config)# ?
6300(config)# interface 1/1/1
6300(config-if)# ?
6300(config-if)# end
6300#
6300# show history
Using the [CTRL][w] shortcut for removing the word that is preceding the cursor :
6300# show hitory [CTRL][w]
6300# show
6300# show system ?
6300# show system
===================
Access-1
===================
4. Apply the console session timeout to 1 day (1440 minutes) to prevent a logout
during the lab activities.
TIP: An alternative method you can use is the next configuration script:
T11-Access1(config)# cli-session
T11-Access1(config-cli-session)# timeout 1440
T11-Access1(config-cli-session)# exit
5. Use “show interface brief” for displaying a table of ports and their more
relevant settings.
T11-Access-1# show interface brief
10. Define interface descriptions for port 1/1/1 and 1/1/3. Do not leave interface
1/1/3 yet.
T11-Access-1# configure terminal
T11-Access-1(config)# interface 1/1/1
T11-Access-1(config-if)# description TO_PC-1
T11-Access-1(config-if)# interface 1/1/3
T11-Access-1(config-if)# description TO_PC-3
T11-Access-1(config-if)#
11. Inside of interface 1/1/3 type the “show running-config current-context”
command.
T11-Access-1(config-if)# show running-config current-context
12. Run the “show interface 1/1/3” command followed by “| include Description”.
T11-Access-1(config-if)# end
T11-Access-1# show interface 1/1/3 | include Description
13. Try the same command but use “| begin 3 Interface” instead
