WS5100 Series Switch CLI Reference Guide 1-2
A session generally begins in USER EXEC mode (one of the two access levels of the EXEC
mode). For security, only a limited subset of EXEC commands are available in the USER
EXEC mode. This level is reserved for tasks that do not change the configuration of the
switch (such as determining the current switch configuration).
To access commands, enter the PRIV EXEC mode (the second access level for the EXEC
mode). In PRIV EXEC mode, enter any EXEC command. The PRIV EXEC mode is a superset
of the USER EXEC mode.
Most of the USER EXEC mode commands are one-time commands and are not saved
across reboots of the switch. For example, the show command displays the current
configuration and the clear command clears the interface.
Access the GLOBAL CONFIG mode from the PRIV EXEC mode. In the GLOBAL CONFIG
mode, enter commands that set general system characteristics. Configuration modes,
allow you to change the running configuration. If you save the configuration later, these
commands are stored across switch reboots.
Access a variety of protocol-specific (or feature-specific) modes from the global
configuration mode. The CLI hierarchy requires you access specific configuration modes
only through the global configuration mode.
You can also access sub-modes from the global configuration mode. Configuration sub-
modes define specific features within the context of a configuration mode.
Table 1.1 summarizes the commands available from the switch.
