Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface

Understanding Command Modes

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running configuration. When you save the configuration, these commands are stored and used for router reboots. To access the various configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and line configuration mode.

Table 5-1describes the main command modes, how to access each one, the prompt you see in that mode, and how to exit the mode. The examples in the table use the hostname Router.

For more detailed information on the command modes, see the command reference guide for this release.
