The ADTRAN CLI has two command security levels —

Enable security level. The following table contains a brief description of each level.

To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the configuration functions of your AOS
product, immediately install an Enable-level password. Refer to the Quick Configuration
Guides and Quick Start Guides located on the ADTRAN OS Documentation CD provided
with your unit for more information on configuring a password.

Understanding Configuration Modes

The ADTRAN CLI has four configuration modes to organize the configuration commands – Global, Line,
Router, and Interface. Each configuration mode supports a set of commands specific to the configurable
parameters for the mode. For example, all Frame Relay configuration commands are accessible only
through the interface configuration mode (for the virtual Frame Relay interface). The following table
contains a brief description of each level.
Mode Access by...
Global entering config while at the Enable
command security level prompt.
