Introducing the Command Modes
This chapter describes the CLI command modes and how to access the
command line interface. There are 8 command modes:
ˆ View
ˆ Privileged Executive
ˆ Configuration Terminal
ˆ Router
ˆ VLAN Configuration
ˆ Interface Configuration
ˆ Line
ˆ Key Chain
In the AT-S83 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 only. For an illustration of
the command modes, see Figure 1 on page 17.
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 the
software. 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.
To navigate from one command mode to another, you enter a specific
command. For example, to access the Privileged Executive mode, you
enter the ENABLE command from the View mode. Once you enter a new
command mode, the AT-S83 prompt changes to indicate the new mode.
See Table 2 on page 18 for information about the commands used to
access the modes and their respective prompts.
