Exec Privileges

Exec privileges allow you to examine the current configuration, perform
system-level actions that do not require saving changes, and move between
the three levels of access: Exec, Global Configuration, and Context Configu-
ration. (See figure 3-2.) A "#" character delimits the Exec prompt. For example:
HP420#_
■ Exec level: Allows you to examine the current configuration, perform
system-level actions that do not require saving changes, and move
between the different access levels. The prompt for the Exec level
contains only the system name and the "#" delimiter, as shown above.
Global Configuration level: Enables you to make configuration
■
changes to the access point's software features. The prompt for the Global
Configuration level includes the system name and "(config)". To select
this level, enter the config command at the Exec prompt. For example:
HP420# _
HP420(config)#_
■ Context Configuration level: Enables you to make configuration
changes in a specific context, such as the Ethernet interface or the
wireless interface. The prompt for the Context Configuration level
includes the system name and the selected context. For example:
HP420(if-ethernet)#
HP420(if-wireless g)#
