HP Moonshot Switch Module CLI Command Reference
Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command modes
supports specific HP Moonshot Switch Module software commands. The commands in one mode are not
available until you switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode commands. You
can execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current mode. Table 5
describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note: Show commands are available in every mode.
Note: The do command allows Privileged EXEC mode commands to be executed in any command
mode. For more information, see “do (Privileged EXEC commands)” on page 42.
