System Prompt

For interactive (on-line) sessions the system prompt is of the form:
nodename>
In the operator exec mode:
nodename#
In the administrator exec mode and in the different configuration modes:
nodename(mode)#
Where:
• nodename is the currently configured name of the node (SmartNode), the IP address or the hardware type of
the device that is being configured
• mode is a string indicating the current configuration mode, if applicable.
Example: the prompt in configuration mode, assuming the nodename SN is:
SN(config)#
The CLI commands used to enter each mode and the system prompt that is displayed when you are working
within each mode is shown in Table 3 on page 38.

Navigating the CLI

Initial Mode

When you initiate a session you may login with either operator or administrator privileges. Whichever login
you use, on starting the CLI is always set to the operator exec (non-privileged exec) mode by default. This
mode allows you to examine the state of the system using a subset of the available CLI commands.

System Changes

In order to make any changes to the system, the administrator exec (privileged exec) mode must be entered.
The enable user interface command is used for this purpose. Once in administrator exec mode, all of the sys-
tem commands are available to you. The enable command is only accessible if you are logged in as an adminis-
trator.
Configuration
To make configuration changes the configuration mode must be entered by using the configure command in
the administrator exec mode. From here the other configuration modes are accessible as diagrammed in the
overview in figure 8 on page 37.

Changing Modes

Within any configuration mode, the exit command brings the user up one level in the mode hierarchy. For
example, when in pvc configuration mode, typing exit will take you to framerelay configuration mode.
The exit command terminates a CLI session when typed from the operator exec mode.
A session can also be terminated using the logout command within any mode.
