The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the
command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC
Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level.

Default Configuration

A version of FTOS is preloaded onto the S5000; however, the system is not configured

You must configure the system using the CLI.
