Chapter 1 CLI Overview
Understanding CLI Command Hierarchy
EXEC Mode Options
When you start a session on the switch, you begin in EXEC mode. Based on the role or group to which
you belong, you have access to limited commands or to all commands (see the “Role-Based CLI” section
on page 1-39). From the EXEC mode, you can enter configuration mode. Most of the EXEC commands
are one-time commands, such as show commands, which display the current configuration status.
The next two sections list the EXEC mode commands for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, the Cisco Fabric
Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. Not all EXEC
mode commands that are supported on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches are available on the Cisco
Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
