Using Command Modes
The CLI for WAAS software is similar to the CLI for Cisco IOS software. Like Cisco IOS software, the
WAAS CLI is organized into different command and configuration modes. Each mode provides access
to a specific set of commands. This section describes the command modes provided by the WAAS
software CLI and includes the following topics:
• Organization of the WAAS CLI, page 1-2
• Using EXEC Mode, page 1-3
• Using Global Configuration Mode, page 1-3
• Using the Interface Configuration Mode, page 1-4
• Using ACL Configuration Modes, page 1-5
• Command Modes Summary, page 1-5

Organization of the WAAS CLI
The WAAS software CLI is organized into multiple command modes. Each command mode has its own
set of commands to use for the configuration, maintenance, and monitoring of a WAAS WAE. The
commands available to you at any given time depend on the mode you are in. Entering a question mark
(?) at the system prompt allows you to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.
The WAAS command modes include the following:
• EXEC mode—For setting, viewing, and testing system operations. This mode is divided into two
access levels: user and privileged. To use the privileged access level, enter the enable command at
the user access level prompt, and then enter the privileged EXEC password when you see the
password prompt.
• Global configuration mode—For setting, viewing, and testing configuration of WAAS software
features for the entire device. To use this mode, enter the configure command from privileged EXEC
mode.
• Interface configuration mode—For setting, viewing, and testing the configuration of a specific
interface. To use this mode, enter the interface command from global configuration mode.
• Standard ACL configuration mode—For creating and modifying standard access lists on a WAAS
device for controlling access to interfaces or applications. To use this mode, enter the ip access-list
standard command from global configuration mode.
• Extended ACL configuration mode—For creating and modifying extended access lists on a WAAS
device for controlling access to interfaces or applications. To use this mode, enter the ip access-list
extended command.
Use specific commands to navigate from one command mode to another. Use this standard order to
access the modes: user EXEC mode, privileged EXEC mode, global configuration mode, interface
configuration mode, standard ACL configuration mode, or extended ACL configuration mode.
