EXEC Privilege mode has commands to view configurations, clear counters, manage configuration files, run diagnostics, and
enable or disable debug operations. The privilege level is 15, which is unrestricted. You can configure a password for this
mode; refer to the Configure the Enable Password section in the Getting Started chapter.
CONFIGURATION mode allows you to configure security features, time settings, set logging and SNMP functions, configure
static ARP and MAC addresses, and set line cards on the system.
Beneath CONFIGURATION mode are submodes that apply to interfaces, protocols, and features. The following example shows
the submode command structure. Two sub-CONFIGURATION modes are important when configuring the chassis for the first
time:
INTERFACE submode is the mode in which you configure Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols and IP services specific to an
interface. An interface can be physical (Management interface, 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet,
40 Gigabit Ethernet, 50 Gigabit Ethernet, or 100 Gigabit Ethernet) or logical (Loopback, Null, port channel, or virtual local
area network [VLAN]).
LINE submode is the mode in which you to configure the console and virtual terminal lines.
NOTE: At any time, entering a question mark (?) displays the available command options. For example, when you are in
CONFIGURATION mode, entering the question mark first lists all available commands, including the possible submodes.
