Types Of Command Modes In Acs; Exec Commands; Exec Or System-Level Commands - Cisco CSACS-1121-K9 Reference Manual

Chapter 1 Overview of the ACS Command Line Interface
You can always tell when you are in the Operator (user) mode or Admin (EXEC) mode by looking at the
prompt. A right angle bracket (>) appears at the end of the Operator (user) mode prompt; a pound sign
(#) appears at the end of the Admin mode prompt, regardless of the submode.
The ACS configuration mode requires a specific, authorized user role to execute each ACS configuration
command; see

Types of Command Modes in ACS

ACS supports these command modes:
•

•

EXEC Commands

EXEC commands primarily include system-level commands such as show and reload (for example,
application installation, application start and stop, copy files and installations, restore backups, and
display information). In addition, certain EXEC-mode commands have ACS-specific abilities (for
example, start an ACS instance, display and export ACS logs, and reset an ACS configuration to factory
default settings.
