EXEC commands
There are two different levels of EXEC commands, the User Level and the Privileged Level.
User level
The User level commands are at the top of the CLI hierarchy. These are the first commands that you
have access to when connected to the device through the CLI. When you first connect to the
Brocade, you will see the User level prompt, similar to the following.
Brocade>
The “Brocade” part of the prompt is configurable. Your system may display a different string.
At this level, you can view basic system information and verify connectivity but cannot make any
changes to the device configuration. To make changes to the configuration, you must move to other
levels of the CLI hierarchy, such as the Privileged EXEC level.
Privileged EXEC level
Commands at the Privileged EXEC level enable you to transfer and store software images and
configuration files between the network and the system, and review the configuration.
You reach this level by entering the enable [password] or enable username password at the User
EXEC level.
