2.2 Navigating CLI
When you successfully access the Gateway, you will be asked for a login username. Enter your
authorized username and password, and then you will be directed to User mode. In CLI
management, the User mode only provides users with basic functions to operate the Gateway. If
you would like to configure advanced features of the Gateway, you must enter the Configuration
mode. The following table provides an overview of modes available in this Gateway.
