features to assist in using the CLI.

CLI Command Modes

Introduction
To assist in configuring devices, the CLI command-line interface is divided into different
command modes. Each command mode has its own set of specific commands. Entering a question
mark "?" at the system prompt (console prompt) displays a list of commands available for that
particular command mode.
From each mode a specific command is used to navigate from one command mode to another. The
standard order to access the modes is as follows: User EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode, Global
Configuration mode, and Interface Configuration mode. The following figure illustrates the
command mode access path.
