Command Modes
There are several command modes available in the command-line interface (CLI). The set of
commands available to the user depends on both the mode the user is currently in and their privilege
level. For each case, the user can see all the commands that are available in a particular command
mode by entering a question mark (?) at the system prompt.
The command-line interface has three pre-defined privilege levels:
Basic User - Privilege Level 1. This user account level has the lowest priority of the user
accounts. The purpose of this type of user account level is for basic system checking.
Operator - Privilege Level 12. This user account level is used to grant system configuration
rights for users who need to change or monitor system configuration, except for security
related information such as user accounts and SNMP account settings, etc.
Administrator - Privilege Level 15. This administrator user account level can monitor all
system information and change any of the system configuration settings expressed in this
configuration guide.
The command-line interface has a number of command modes. There are three basic command
modes:
User EXEC Mode
Privileged EXEC Mode
Global Configuration Mode
