FTOS(conf)#
When another user enters the CONFIGURATION mode, FTOS sends a message similar to the
following, where the user in this case is “admin” on vty2:
% Warning: User “admin” on line vty2 “172.16.1.210” is in configuration
Navigating the Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt displayed by FTOS is comprised of:
• “hostname”— the initial part of the prompt, “FTOS” by default. You can change it with the
hostname command, as described in hostname.
• The second part of the prompt, reflecting the current CLI mode, as shown in Table 4-2,
"Command Prompt and Corresponding Command Mode," in CLI Basics.
The CLI prompt changes as you move up and down the levels of the command structure. Table 4-2,
"Command Prompt and Corresponding Command Mode," in CLI Basics lists the prompts and their
corresponding command levels, called modes. Starting with the CONFIGURATION mode, the
command prompt adds modifiers to further identify the mode. The command modes are explained in
Command Modes.
Note: Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.
