Command Modes
There are several command modes available in the command-line interface (CLI). The set of commands
available to the user depends on both the mode the user is currently in and their privilege level. For each
case, the user can see all the commands that are available in a particular command mode by entering a
question mark (?) at the system prompt.
The command-line interface has five pre-defined privilege levels:
• Basic User - Privilege Level 1. This user account level has the lowest priority of the user
accounts. The purpose of this type of user account level is for basic system checking.
• Advanced User - Privilege Level 3. This user account level is allowed to configure the terminal
control setting. This user account can only show limited information that is not related to security.
• Power User - Privilege 8. This user account level can execute fewer commands than operator,
including configuration commands other than the operator level and administrator level
commands.
• Operator - Privilege Level 12. This user account level is used to grant system configuration rights
for users who need to change or monitor system configuration, except for security related
information such as user accounts and SNMP account settings, etc.
