The initial command mode in CLI depends on your access level when you logged into the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series:

•With no password protection, you can enter the CLI in userExec mode, and use the enable command to move to the privExec command mode.

•If you have logged into the CLI with read-only access, you enter the CLI in userExec mode and cannot access any other CLI command modes.
