About this Document
This CLI Reference Guide describes how to use the CLI and a list of the CLI
commands and their arguments.
The CLI commands described in this document are organized according to
feature groups in separate sections.
This section describes how to use the CLI. It contains the following topics:
• CLI Command Modes
• Starting the CLI
• CLI Command Conventions
• Entering Commands
CLI Command Modes
To configure devices, the CLI is divided into various command modes. Each
command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question
mark "?" at the console prompt displays a list of commands available for that
particular command mode.
A specific command, which varies from mode to mode, is used to navigate
from one mode to another. The standard order to access the modes is as
follows:
User EXEC
mode,
Privileged EXEC
mode,
Global Configuration
mode, and
Interface Configuration
modes.
When starting a session, the initial mode for non-privileged users is the User
EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of commands is available in the User
EXEC mode. This level is reserved for tasks that do not change the
configuration.
