14 CLI COMMAND REFERENCE
This chapter introduces the CLI privilege level and command modes.
 The privilege level determines whether or not the user could run the particular commands
 If the user could run the particular command, then the user has to run the command in the
correct mode.
23.1 Privilege level
Every command has a privilege level (0-15). Users can run a command if the session’s
privilege level is greater than or equal to the command’s privilege level. The session’s
privilege level initially comes from the login account’s privilege level, though it is possible to
change the session’s privilege level after logging in.

The CLI is divided into several modes. If a user has enough privilege to run a particular
command, the user has to run the command in the correct mode. The modes that are available
depend on the session’s privilege level.
