2.3.3 Enabling Router Configuration Modes
The Matrix CLI provides different modes of router operation for issuing a subset of commands from
each mode. Table 2-11 describes these modes of operation.
NOTE: The command prompts used as examples in Table 2-11 and throughout this
guide show switch operation for a user in Read-Write (rw) access mode, and a system
where module 1 and VLAN 1 have been configured for routing. The prompt changes
depending on your current configuration mode, the specific module, and the inter face
types and numbers configured for routing on your system.
