Mode-based Command Hierarchy

The CLI is divided into various modes. The Commands in one mode are not available until the operator switches to that particular mode, with the exception of the User Exec mode commands. The User Exec mode commands may also be executed in the Privileged Exec mode.

The commands available to the operator at any point in time depend upon the mode. Entering a question mark (?) at the CLI prompt, displays a list of the available commands and descriptions of the commands.

The CLI provides the following modes:

User Exec Mode	When the operator logs into the CLI, the User Exec mode is the
	initial mode. The User Exec mode contains a limited set of com-
	mands. The command prompt shown at this level is:
	Command Prompt: $(Exec)>
Privileged Exec Mode	To have access to the full suite of commands, the operator must
	enter the Privileged Exec mode. The Privileged Exec mode
	requires password authentication. From Privileged Exec mode,
	the operator can issue any Exec command or enter the Global
	Configuration mode. The command prompt shown at this level is:
	Command Prompt: $(Exec)#
Global Config Mode	This mode permits the operator to make modifications to the run-
	ning configuration. General setup commands are grouped in this
	mode. From the Global Configuration mode, the operator can
	enter the System Configuration mode, the Physical Port config,
	the Interface Configuration mode, or the Protocol Specific modes
	specified below. The command prompt at this level is:
	Command Prompt: $(Config)#

From the Global Config mode, the operator may enter the following config modes:

VLAN Mode	This mode groups all the commands pertaining to VLANs. The
	command prompt shown at this level is:
	Command Prompt: $(VLAN)#
Interface Config Mode	Many features are enabled for a particular interface. The Interface
	commands enable or modify the operation of an interface.
