2.2 Navigating CLI
After you successfully access to the Managed Switch, you will be asked for a login username.
Enter your authorized username and password, and then you will be directed to the User
Mode. In CLI management, the User Mode only provides users with basic functions to
operate the Managed Switch. If you would like to configure advanced features of the
Managed Switch, such as, VLAN, QoS, and Rate limit control, you must enter the
Configuration Mode. The following table provides an overview of modes available in this
Managed Switch.

throughout this user’s manual.
