You are logged in as an administrator and are ready to view and configure the CLI configuration.

Entering CLI Modes

The CLI has four command modes

•user-execute mode

•privileged-execute mode

•global-configuration mode

•sub-command mode

The commands you can enter depend upon the current command mode and who you log in as. You may enter a question mark (?) at the CLI prompt to list the commands appropriate for the current mode and user identity.

All CLI sessions begin in the user-execute mode. This mode provides commands for viewing some of the system configuration and some user information. Guest users may only work in the user-execute mode.

The user-execute mode is also the entry point to the privileged-execute mode. The privileged-execute mode can view the entire system configuration and all user information. It is used to perform some high-level administrative tasks, such as saving the current configuration and setting the system clock. It is also the access point to the global-configuration and sub-command modes. You must enter the privileged-execute mode before entering the configuration modes. This is done simply by entering the enable keyword after starting the CLI session. Note that administrative and unrestricted users may enter the privileged-execute mode.

#telnet HP-IB Login: super Password: xxxx HP-IB> enable HP-IB#

Mode changes are reflected in changes to the CLI prompt. Going from the user-execute to privileged-execute mode, the prompt changes from:

HP-IB>

to

HP-IB#
