CLI View Description
CLI views are designed for different configuration tasks. These are how commands are organized, with
groupings of tasks for related operations. For example, once a user logs into a switch successfully, the
user enters user view, where the user can perform some simple operations such as checking the
operation status and statistics information of the switch. After executing the
system-view
command,
the user enters system view, and there are other views below this accessible by entering corresponding
commands.
Table 1-3
lists the CLI views provided by the 3com switch 4500, operations that can be performed in
different CLI views and the commands used to enter specific CLI views.
