Introducing the Command Modes
This chapter describes the CLI command modes and how to access the
command line interface. There are 5 command modes:
ˆ Privileged Executive
ˆ Configuration Terminal
ˆ VLAN Configuration
ˆ Interface Configuration
ˆ Line
In the AT-S100 software, the commands are accessed through a
hierarchy of command modes. Each command mode contains a subset of
commands that are available within that mode. See Figure 1 on page 17
for an illustration of the command modes.
When you log on to the CLI interface, the default command mode that you
access depends on your login id. There are two default login ids that are
sent from the factory. The operator login id enables you to display
information about the software configuration. With this login, you access
the View command mode automatically. The manager login id permits full
administrator capabilities. With this login, you access the Privileged
Executive mode by default.
You enter a specific command to navigate from one command mode to
another. For example, to access the Configuration Terminal mode, enter
the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command from the Privileged Executive
mode. Once you enter a new command mode, the AT-S100 prompt
changes to indicate the new mode.
