2.4 The CLI Command Prompt

By default, the CLI command prompt indicates the device being accessed and the
current CLI context. For example, the prompt: A:ALA-1>config>router>if#
indicates the active context, the user is on the device with hostname ALA-1 in the
configure>router>interface context. In the prompt, the separator used between
contexts is the ">" symbol.
At the end of the prompt, there is either a pound sign ("#") or a dollar sign ("$"). A
"#" at the end of the prompt indicates the context is an existing context. A "$" at the
end of the prompt indicates the context has been newly created. New contexts are
newly created for logical entities when the user first navigates into the context.
Since, there can be a large number of sublevels in the CLI, the environment
command reduced-prompt no of nodes in prompt allows the user to control the
number of levels displayed in the prompt.
All special characters (#, $, etc.) must be enclosed within double quotes, otherwise
it is seen as a comment character and all characters on the command line following
the # are ignored. For example:
*A:ALU-7210>config>router# interface "primary#1"
When changes are made to the configuration file a "*" appears in the prompt string
(*A:ALU-7210) indicating that the changes have not been saved. When an admin
save command is executed the "*" disappears. This behavior is controlled in the
saved-ind-prompt command in the environment context.

2.5 Displaying Configuration Contexts

The info and info detail commands display configuration for the current level. The
info command displays non-default configurations. The info detail command
displays the entire configuration for the current level, including defaults. The following
example shows the output that displays using the info command and the output that
displays using the info detail command.

2.6 EXEC Files

The exec command allows the user to execute a text file of CLI commands as if it
were typed at a console device.
