Operating the Cisco 3800 System

Operating the Cisco 3800 System

This chapter describes briefly how to operate the Cisco 3800 system, and includes the following sections.

Entering User EXEC Mode

When you have configured your system's global parameters as described in the publication Cisco 3800 Series Hardware Installation Guide and power up, your system automatically brings you to user EXEC mode at the following prompt:

Europa>

Entering Privileged EXEC Mode from User EXEC Mode

From user EXEC mode, enter the enable command:

Europa>enable
Europa#

In privileged EXEC mode, note that the prompt is a pound sign.

Entering Global Configuration Mode from User EXEC Mode

From user EXEC mode, enter the following commands:

Europa>enable
Europa# configure
Europa(config)#

In global configuration mode, note the prompt, (config)#.

Entering Interface Configuration Mode from User EXEC Mode

From user EXEC mode, enter the following commands:

Europa> enable
Europa# configure
Europa(config)# serial 0/0
Europa(config-if)#

In interface configuration mode, note the prompt, (config-if)#.

Getting Help

In any command mode, you can get a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).

Europa> ?

To obtain a list of commands beginning with a particular character sequence, enter those characters followed immediately by a question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is called word help:

Europa# co?
configure   connect copy

To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before the question mark. This form of help is called command syntax help, because it reminds you which keywords or arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you have already entered.

Europa# configure ?
   memory     Configure from NV memory
   network    Configure from a TFTP network host
   terminal   Configure from the terminal
   <cr>

You can also abbreviate commands and keywords by entering enough characters to identify the command uniquely from other commands. For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh.

Viewing the Interface Summary

This reporting function displays the currently configured ports and their status:

Step 1 Press Return or enter yes at the initial configuration dialog prompt. The system responds:

Step 2 Press Return or enter yes. The system responds with a list of known ports:

Step 3 Now you can configure the global parameters and configure your serial and Ethernet ports. If one of the Cisco IOS interfaces you expect to see does not display in the list of known ports, power down your Cisco 3800 series system and double-check connections and backplane seating.

Getting a Report of the Status of a Specific Interface

The following is an example of the information displayed when you enter the show command to get a report of a specific interface's status:
