Mode Examples

Consider the following examples to change configuration mode:
XSR>enable
XSR#config terminal
XSR(config)#interface fastethernet 1

Note: In many cases, you are not required to exit from a mode to configure a command in another
mode.

Observing Command Syntax and Conventions

The CLI command syntax and conventions on the XSR use the notation described below.
Table 2-4 Command Syntax and Conventions

[x]
[x | y | z]
{x | y | z}
[x {y | z} ]

In the following example:
show interface [dialer | fastEthernet/gigabitethernet | loopback | serial | bri |
multilink | vpn {interface-number}]
show
• and
• [ dialer
{ interface-number
