CLI Command Modes
Since the set of CLI commands is very large, the CLI is structured as a
command-tree hierarchy, where related command sets are assigned to
command modes for easier access. At each level, only the commands related
to that level are available to the user and only those commands are shown in
the context sensitive help for that level.
In this guide, commands are organized into three categories:
• Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) commands
• Layer 3 (Network Layer) commands
• Utility Commands
Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) describes the logical organization of data bits
transmitted on a particular medium. This layer defines the framing,
addressing and checksumming of Ethernet packets.
Layer 3 (Network Layer) describes how a series of exchanges over various data
links can deliver data between any two nodes in a network. This layer defines
the addressing and routing structure of the Internet.
