Navigating CLI Modes

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

10/100 Ethernet port. This chapter includes information to connect to the system
using the console port. For information about connecting with the other ports,
refer to your system's Installation Guide.
