Navigating the CLI Hierarchy

The CLI is organized into a hierarchy of levels. Each level has a group of commands for a specific purpose. For example, to configure a setting for the FTP server, one would navigate to the FTP level, which is under the configuration level.

To move to a different level—Enter the name of the level from within its parent level. For example, to enter the tunnel level, type tunnel <number> at the enable prompt. This displays: <enable> tunnel <number>#.

To exit and return to one level higher—Type exit and press the Enter key. Typing exit at the login level or the enable level will close the CLI session. If Line — Command Mode is specified as Always, a new session starts immediately.
