ISCLI basics
Introduction
The ISCLI is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use the CLI for
performing all levels of switch configuration.
This chapter describes the ISCLI Command Modes, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that are commonly
available from all the command modes within the ISCLI.
Accessing the ISCLI
The first time you start the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, it boots into the AOSCLI. To access the ISCLI, enter the following
command and reset the GbE2:
Main# boot/mode iscli
To access the AOSCLI, enter the following command from the ISCLI and reload the GbE2:
Switch(config)# boot cli-mode aos
The GbE2 retains your CLI selection, even when you reset the configuration to factory defaults. The CLI boot mode is
not part of the configuration settings.
ISCLI Command Modes
The ISCLI has three major command modes, listed in order of increasing privileges, as follows:
User EXEC mode: This is the initial mode of access. By default, password checking is disabled for this mode.
Privileged EXEC mode: The mode is accessed from User EXEC mode. You must enter a password to access Privileged
EXEC mode. The default password is enable.
Global configuration mode: This mode allows you to make changes to the running configuration of the switch. If you
save the configuration, the settings survive a reload of the GbE2. Several submodes are available within the Global
Configuration mode (the following table for more information.
Each command mode provides a specific set of commands. The command set of each higher-privilege mode is a
superset of the lower-privilege mode(s). All commands available in lower-lower-privilege modes are available in the
higher-privilege modes.
The following table describes the ISCLI command modes.
