Understanding Command Security Levels
The ADTRAN CLI has two command security levels — Basic and Enable. Both levels support a specific
set of commands. For example, all interface configuration commands are accessible only through the
Enable security level. The following table contains a brief description of each level.
Understanding Configuration Modes
The ADTRAN CLI has four configuration modes to organize the config uration commands – Global, Line,
Router, and Interface. Each configuration mode supports a set of commands specific to the configurable
parameters for the mode. For example, all Frame Relay configuration commands are accessible only
through the interface configuration mode (for the virtual Frame Relay interface). The following table
contains a brief description of each level.
Level Access by... Prompt With this level you can...
