Chapter 2 Command Line Interface
Authorization and Command Levels (Hierarchy)
CLI Command Mode Hierarchy
The set of all CLI commands is grouped in hierarchical order, according to the type of the commands.
The first two levels in the hierarchy are the User Exec and Privileged Exec modes. These are
non-configuration modes in which the set of available commands enables the monitoring of the SCE
platform, file system operations, and other operations that cannot alter the configuration of the SCE
platform.
The next levels in the hierarchy are the Global and Interface configuration modes, which hold a set of
commands that control the global configuration of the SCE platform and its interfaces. Any of the
parameters set by the commands in these modes should be saved in the startup configuration, such that
in the case of a reboot, the SCE platform restores the saved configuration.
Table 2-2
shows the available CLI modes.
