How to Work with Command Modes

The following figure shows the command mode hierarchy and the commands you use to
move to lower-level modes.

Multiple users can telnet and issue commands using the User Exec mode and the
Privileged Exec mode. However, only one user is allowed to use the Configure mode at a
time. This prevents multiple users from issuing configuration commands simultaneously.

CLI modes

User Exec mode

User Exec mode is the mode you log into on the switch.

It lets you perform high-level diagnostics (show commands, ping, traceroute etc), start
sessions (Telnet, SSH), and change mode.

The default User Exec mode prompt is awplus>.

Privileged Exec

mode

To change from User Exec to Privileged Exec mode, enter the command:

Privileged Exec mode is the main mode for monitoring—for example, running show
commands and debugging. From Privileged Exec mode, you can do all the commands
from User Exec mode plus many system commands.

The default Privileged Exec mode prompt is awplus#.
