Description
2.2 Structure of the Command Line Interface
SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Command Line Interface (CLI)
36 Configuration Manual, 06/2016, C79000-G8976-C252-11
This mode is active after you log in with the role "user" in a console window. In this mode,
you can use
show commands to display the current values of configuration parameters. It is
not possible to modify parameters in this mode.
To be able to modify configuration parameters, you need to change to the Privileged EXEC
mode.
You change to this mode if you log in with the role "admin" or in User EXEC mode you enter
the command
enable. There are two ways of exiting the Privileged EXEC mode:
1. The
exit command logs you out; the Login Prompt prompt appears.
2. The
disable command brings you back one level from the Privileged EXEC mode to the
User EXEC mode. (The
disable command is not available in the User EXEC mode.)
Global configuration mode
In this mode, you can make basic configuration settings. In addition to this, you can also call
up modes for the configuration of special interfaces or functions, for example to configure a
VLAN or a C-PLUG. You change to this mode by entering
configure terminal in the
Privileged EXEC mode. To exit this mode, enter
end.
Other configuration modes
From the Global configuration mode, you can change to other configuration modes for
special tasks. These are either general configuration modes (for example line configuration,
interface configuration) or protocol-specific configuration modes (SNTP, NTP).
