Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
The following table lists the CLI mode, its prompt, and information about how to access and exit the CLI mode. Move linearly 
through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit 
command which moves you up one command mode level.
NOTE: Sub-CONFIGURATION modes all have the letters conf in the prompt with more modifiers to identify the mode and 
slot/port/subport information.
