Identifying the Command Mode in the CLI Prompt
The command mode is identified in the CLI prompt after the router name.
For example, when the router enters global configuration mode from the EXEC mode, the CLI prompt
changes to include “
(config)” after the router name:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routername# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routername(config)#
When the router enters interface configuration submode, the prompt changes to include “(config-if)”
after the router name:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routername(config)# interface POS 0/2/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routername(config-if)#
