Appendix A:
Command Modes
The ArubaOS command-line interface offers different levels of user access by differentiating between different
command modes.
When you first log in to the CLI, you start your session in User mode, which provides only limited access for basic
operational testing. You must enter an additional password to access Enable mode, which allows you to issue show
commands run certain management functions. Configuration commands can only be issued in Config mode. You
can access Config mode by entering
configure terminal at the command prompt. You can exit your current
command mode and return to a lower-level command mode at any time by entering exit at the command
prompt.
The following sections describes how to access each command mode, the command prompt for each mode, and
links to its available commands.
User mode
You always begin a CLI session in user mode, the command mode with the lowest level of user access. The
command prompt for a user mode session is a greater-than (>) symbol:
(host) >
