Mode-based CLI
3.2 Mode-based Command
Hierarchy
The CLI is divided into various modes. The Commands in one mode are not
available until the operator switches to that particular mode, with the excep-
tion of the User Exec mode commands. The User Exec mode commands
may also be executed in the Privileged Exec mode.
The commands available to the operator at any point in time depend upon
the mode. Entering a question mark (?) at the CLI prompt, displays a list of
the available commands and descriptions of the commands.
The CLI provides the following modes:

mode. The User Exec mode contains a limited set of commands. The
