Chapter 3 CLI Basics 123
System Configuration Guide
The initial command mode in CLI depends on your access level when you logged
into the Ethernet Switch 325/425 CI menus:
• With no password protection, you can enter the CLI in userExec mode, and
use the
enable
command to move to the privExec command mode.
• If you have logged into the CI menus with read-only access, you can enter the
CLI in userExec mode and cannot access any other CLI command modes.
• If you have logged into the CI menus with read-write access, you can enter the
CLI in privExec mode and use the commands to move to the other command
modes.
