Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
The following table lists the CLI mode, its prompt, and information about how to access and exit the CLI
mode. Move linearly through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you
directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level.
NOTE: Sub-CONFIGURATION modes all have the letters “conf” in the prompt with more modifiers
to identify the mode and slot/port information.
