The different CLI modes are:
•
“User Mode (UM)”
•
“Super User Mode (SUM)”
•
“Configuration Mode (CM)”
•
“Interface Configuration Mode (ICM)”
•
“Sub-Interface Configuration Mode (S-ICM)”
•
“Router Configuration Mode (RCM)”
The flowchart above depicts the flow and command structure to be used to enter
in to the different modes of configuration accordingly.
After you successfully log in to the system, you can enter the
User Mode
. At this
mode, you can view only a few global show commands and have access to ping
and SSH. There is no access to edit or update the configuration in this mode.
The next level is the
Super User Mode
. You can enter this mode by typing in the
“
enable
” command. At this mode, you are given the flexibility to use the debug,
reset, and clear commands. There is no access to either insert, delete or modify
the configuration.
Type the “
config terminal
” command to enter the
Configuration Mode
. This
mode is used to configure the system globally, or to enter specific configuration
modes to configure specific elements, such as interfaces or protocols.
In the
Application Configuration Mode
, you can enter in to a specific application
by entering the corresponding name, such as router OSPF, BGP, RIP, IP NAT, IP
filter, firewall, etc.
By entering the interface type, slot-number, port-number, and other parameters of
the interface, you can enter in to the
Interface Configuration Mode
. The
interface configuration mode can be accessed from the configuration mode or
also from the application configuration mode. After configuring an interface, you
can configure a sub-interface either from the ICM or directly from the configuration
mode itself.
The reverse flow is also depicted with the help of the “
Exit
” and “
End / Ctrl-Z
”
commands. These commands allow you to go back to the previous mode or to
exit totally out of the configuration and go to the super user mode. The command
“
top
” is used to jump to configuration mode from which ever mode you are in.
