Understanding Command Modes
To obtain a list of commands in this mode, enter a question mark (?):
acs/admin(config-GigabitEthernet)# ?
Use the exit or end command to exit this prompt and return to the configuration prompt.
For the previous example, Table 2-1 lists the commands in that configuration submode. There are other
configuration submodes, including those specific to the kron, repository, and password policy
commands.
