Network settings reference
Before you perform a software
installation/upgrade, verify that you have configured network settings by logging
in to the system from a management console using an admin account and
running these commands on the CLI. When you log in to the
system, you are in user mode. Before you can complete configuration tasks, you
must first change to config mode by typing
config
. You can type a
question mark (?
) or
press the Tab key to see possible command completions in the CLI.Be sure to commit all
changes.
