3.2.2 Basic CLI Commands
The console control commands are the commands that are used for navigating within 
the CLI and displaying information about the console session.
Most of these commands are implemented as global commands. They can be 
entered at any level in the CLI hierarchy, with the exception of the password 
command, which must be entered at the ROOT level. The console control 
commands are listed in Table 2.
