Commands are grouped in different views by feature. To use a command, you must enter its view.
CLI views are hierarchically organized, as shown in
which you can identify where you are and what you can do. For example, the prompt
[Sysname-vlan100] shows that you are in VLAN 100 view and can configure attributes for that VLAN.
