CLI Command Modes
Introduction
To assist in configuring devices, the CLI (Command Line Interface) is divided into different command
modes. Each command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question mark "?" at the
system prompt (console prompt) displays a list of commands available for that particular command mode.
From each mode a specific command is used to navigate from one command mode to another.
The standard order to access the modes is as follows: User EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode,
Global Configuration mode, and Interface Configuration mode. The following figure illustrates the
command mode access path.
