Command Mode
Privileged EXEC mode
User Guidelines
The System mode appears in the configuration file header to specify the system
mode. It appears even if it specifies the default system mode.
If this command is entered manually and the configured system mode does not
match the current system mode, the Startup Configuration file is deleted and the
device is rebooted. It is highly recommended to back up the Startup Configuration
file before executing this command; otherwise the device is configured in the new
system mode with an empty configuration
If the system mode is contained in a configuration file that is downloaded to the
device, but the file's system mode matches the current system mode, this
information is ignored. Otherwise the following cases occurs:
• If this file is copied manually onto the device (using copy tftp, for example),
the operation is aborted, and a message is displayed indicating that the
system mode must be changed manually.
• If this file is downloaded during the automatic configuration process, the
Startup Configuration file is deleted and the device reboots automatically in
the new system mode and the device is configured with an empty
configuration.
Example
The following example configures the device to function as a switch-router (Layer
3).
