* <switchname>.1 # 

You must have an administrator-level account to change the text of the prompt. The prompt text is taken from the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) sysname setting.

The number that follows the period after the switch name indicates the sequential line of the specific command or line for this CLI session.

If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command line prompt, it indicates that you have outstanding configuration changes that have not been saved.

For example: * X460G2-48p-G4.1 #

If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command line prompt ends with a (#) sign.

For example: X460G2-48p-G4.1 #

If you have logged on with user capabilities, the command line prompt ends with a (>) sign.

For example: X460G2-48p-G4.1 >
