Mastering the Command Line: How to Check Huawei Switch Configurations like a Pro，Unleash the power of Huawei networking gear with this guide on essential command sequences for inspecting configurations. Perfect for tech-savvy network wizards!
Introduction: Logging In and Navigating
To begin, you ll need to connect to your Huawei switch via the command line interface (CLI). First things first, SSH into the device:
```bash ssh username@switch_ip_address ``` Replace "username" with your admin credentials and "switch_ip_address" with the device s IP address.Inspecting Current Configuration
Once logged in, use the "display current-configuration" command to view the entire configuration:
```bash display current-configuration ``` This will show you a comprehensive snapshot of the switch s settings. If you re looking for a specific section, use "running-config" instead: ```bash display running-configuration section [interface | vlan | routing] ```Tweaking and Saving Changes
If you ve made changes and want to save them, use the "save" command:
```bash save [filename] ``` Replace "filename" with the desired location for the saved configuration file. To confirm changes before saving, use "compare" first: ```bash compare running-config startup-config ```Advanced Configuration Commands
For more granular control, explore these advanced commands:
- `interface` - to manage interfaces: `interface Ethernet1/0/1` - `vlan` - to manipulate VLANs: `vlan database add vid 100 name "My VLAN"` - `ip route` - to configure routes: `ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 GigabitEthernet1/0/2`Future Developments and Best Practices
