Understanding CLI Command Modes
CLI and RS Basics
3.2
UNDERSTANDING CLI COMMAND MODES
The CLI has four separate command modes. Each command mode controls a group of related commands. This section
explains the primary uses for each command mode.
3.2.1
User Mode
The initial mode on the RS after booting up is the user mode. The user mode commands are a subset of the enable mode
commands. In general, the user commands display basic information and contain basic utilities such as PING. This
mode also contains the command to enter the enable mode.
The user mode command prompt consists of the RS name followed by the angle bracket (>), as shown in the following:
3.2.2
Enable Mode
The enable mode provides more commands than the user mode. Commands within the enable mode include:
•
Router configuration
•
Access Control Lists
•
SNMP statistics
•
Telnet
•
TACACS and TACACS-Plus
•
DHCP
•
Help
•
Configure (to enter the configure mode)
The commands in this mode are
persistent
for the session. That is, they affect the current session only. To enter the
enable mode from the user mode, type
enable
at the user command prompt. This mode also contains the command
to enter the configure mode.
The enable mode command prompt consists of the RS name followed by the pound sign(#):
To exit the enable mode and return to the user mode, either type
exit
and press the Return key, or press Ctrl+Z.
