CLI Command Modes
To configure devices, the CLI is divided into various command modes. Each
command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question
mark "?" at the console prompt displays a list of commands available for that
particular command mode.
A specific command, which varies from mode to mode, is used to navigate
from one mode to another. The standard order to access the modes is as
follows: User EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode, Global Configuration
mode, and Interface Configuration modes.
When starting a session, the initial mode for non-privileged users is the User
EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of commands is available in the User
EXEC mode. This level is reserved for tasks that do not change the
configuration.
Privileged users enter the
Privileged EXEC mode directly using a password.
This mode provides access to the device Configuration modes.
The modes are described below.
User EXEC Mode
After logging into the device, the user is automatically in User EXEC
command mode unless the user is defined as a privileged user. In general, the
User EXEC commands enable the user to perform basic tests, and display
system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the
angle bracket (>).
console>
The default host name is "console" unless it has been changed using the
hostname command in the Global Configuration mode.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access is password-protected to prevent unauthorized use, because
many of the privileged commands set operating system parameters: The
password is not displayed on the screen and is case sensitive.
Privileged users enter directly into the
Privileged EXEC mode.
Use disable to return to the User EXEC mode.
