How to work with command modes
The following figure shows the command mode hierarchy and the commands to use to move
to lower-level modes.
Multiple users can telnet and issue commands using the Exec mode and the Privileged Exec
mode. However, only one user is allowed to use the Configure mode at a time. This prevents
multiple users from issuing configuration commands simultaneously.
Figure 1-1:
User Exec mode
User Exec mode is the mode you log into on the switch.
It lets you perform high-level diagnostics (
show
commands, ping, traceroute etc), start sessions
(Telnet, SSH), and change mode.
The default User Exec mode prompt is
awplus>
.
Privileged Exec
mode
To change from User Exec to Privileged Exec mode, enter the command:
awplus>enable
Privileged Exec mode is the main mode for monitoring—for example, running
show
commands and debugging. From Privileged Exec mode, you can do all the commands from
User Exec mode plus many system commands.
The default Privileged Exec mode prompt is
awplus#
.
