These command modes are available in ACLI:
• User Executive
• Privileged Executive
• Global Configuration
• Interface Configuration
Command mode access is determined by access permission levels and password
protection.
If no password is set, you can open ACLI in User Executive mode and perform the enable
command to move to the next level, Privileged Executive mode.
However, if you have read-only access, you cannot progress beyond User Executive mode,
the default mode.
If you have read-write access you can progress from the default mode through all of the
available modes.
User Executive mode is the default ACLI command mode and the initial access mode. Also
known as exec mode, it is the most restrictive ACLI mode with only basic commands available;
for example, show, ping and logout. User Executive commands are available from the other
modes.
Privileged Executive mode is an unrestricted mode that can display all switch settings. If you
are logged on with write access, you can access all configuration modes and commands that
affect switch operation from Privileged Executive mode.
In Privileged Executive mode, also known as privExec mode, you can perform basic switch
level management tasks; for example, downloading software images, setting passwords, and
starting the switch. Privileged Executive commands are also available in Global and Interface
configuration modes.
Global Configuration mode, also known as config mode, provides commands used to set and
display general switch configurations such as IP address, Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) parameters, Telnet access, and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN).
Interface Configuration mode, also known as ifconfig mode, provides commands used to
configure parameters for each port or VLAN such as speed, duplex mode, and rate limiting.
With sufficient permission, you can use the rules in the following table to move between the
command modes.
