The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command modes supports specific 200 Series 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. CLI Command Modes describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note
The command modes available on your switch depend on the software modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does not support BGPv4 does not have the BGPv4 Router Command Mode.Note
As shown in CLI Command Modes, most command prompts begin with Extreme nnn where nnn is the switch's model number – for example, Extreme 220.
CLI Command Modes

Manages the operation of one or more interfaces and
provides access to the router interface configuration commands. Use this mode to set up a physical port for a specific logical connection operation. You can also use this mode to manage the operation of a
set of interfaces or a range of interfaces. For example:

| Support Mode | Extreme nnn (Support)# | Allows access to the support commands, which should only be used by the manufacturer's technical support personnel as improper use could cause unexpected system behavior and/or invalidate product warranty. |
CLI Mode Access and Exit explains how to enter or exit each mode. To exit a mode and return to the previous mode, enter exit. To exit to Privileged EXEC mode, press [Ctrl]+[Z].
Note
Pressing [Ctrl]+[Z] from Privileged EXEC mode exits to User EXEC mode. To exit User EXEC mode, enter logout.CLI Mode Access and Exit
