USING THE CLI
Overview This document describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) used to
manage the 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE switch.
Most of the CLI commands are applicable to all devices.
This chapter describes how to start using the CLI and the CLI command
editing features.
CLI Command Modes
Introduction To assist in configuring the device, the Command Line Interface (CLI) 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.
When starting a session, the initial mode is the User EXEC mode. Only a
limited subset of commands are available in User EXEC mode. This level is
reserved for tasks that do not change the configuration. To enter the next
level, the Privileged EXEC mode, a password is required.
The Privileged EXEC mode gives access to commands that are restricted
on User EXEC mode and provides access to the device Configuration
mode.
The Global Configuration mode manages the device configuration on a
global level.
The Interface Configuration mode configures specific interfaces in the
device.
