CLI command modes

CLI command modes
3.1.1 This page will discuss some features that are available from global configuration mode.


All CLI configuration changes to a Cisco router are made from global configuration mode, which is sometimes called global config. Global config is the primary configuration mode. Specific modes are used for various configuration changes, but these modes are all subsets of the global configuration mode.

Global configuration mode commands are used in a router to apply configuration statements that affect the system as a whole. The following command moves the router into global configuration mode and allows entry of commands from the terminal:

Note:

The prompt changes to indicate that the router is now in global configuration mode.

Router#configure terminal

Router(config)#

The prompt will change to indicate that the router is in global configuration mode. Here are a few of the modes that can be entered from global configuration mode:

• Interface mode
• Line mode
• Router mode
• Subinterface mode
• Controller mode

When these specific modes are entered, the router prompt changes to indicate the current configuration mode. Any configuration changes that are made will apply only to the interfaces or processes covered by the particular mode.

Type exit from one of the specific modes to return a router to global configuration mode. Pressing Ctrl-Z leaves the configuration modes completely and returns the router to privileged EXEC mode.

The next page will teach students how to configure a router name in global configuration mode.

OSI layers / Peer-to-peer communications / TCP/IP model

OSI layers 2.3.4 This page discusses the seven layers of the OSI model. The OSI reference model is a framework that is used to understand how information travels throughout a network. The OSI reference model explains how packets travel through the various layers to another device on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. In the OSI reference model, there are seven numbered layers, each of which illustrates a particular network function. - Dividing the network into seven layers provides the following advantages: • It breaks network communication into smaller, more manageable parts. • It standardizes network components to allow multiple vendor development and support. • It allows different types of network hardware and software to communicate with each other. • It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers. • It divides network communication into smaller parts to make learning it easier to understand. In the foll...

• Backplane – A backplane is an electronic circuit board containing circuitry and sockets into which additional electronic devices on other circuit boards or cards can be plugged; in a computer, generally synonymous with or part of the motherboard. • Network interface card (NIC) – An expansion board inserted into a computer so that the computer can be connected to a network. • Video card – A board that plugs into a PC to give it display capabilities. • Audio card – An expansion board that enables a computer to manipulate and output sounds. • Parallel port – An interface capable of transferring more than one bit simultaneously that is used to connect external devices such as printers. • Serial port – An interface that can be used for serial communication in which only one bit is transmitted at a time. • Mouse port – A port used to connect a mouse to a PC. • USB port – A Universal Serial Bus connector. A USB port connects devices such as a mouse or printer to the computer ...

Windowing

Windowing 11.1.5 This page will explain how windows are used to transmit data. Data packets must be delivered to the recipient in the same order in which they were transmitted to have a reliable, connection-oriented data transfer. The protocol fails if any data packets are lost, damaged, duplicated, or received in a different order. An easy solution is to have a recipient acknowledge the receipt of each packet before the next packet is sent. If a sender had to wait for an ACK after each packet was sent, throughput would be low. Therefore, most connection-oriented, reliable protocols allow multiple packets to be sent before an ACK is received. The time interval after the sender transmits a data packet and before the sender processes any ACKs is used to transmit more data. The number of data packets the sender can transmit before it receives an ACK is known as the window size, or window. TCP uses expectational ACKs. This means that the ACK number refers to the next packet that is...
