Using Command Modes
The CLI of SFTOS follows the industry convention of mode-based access to functionality, grouping all
of the CLI commands in appropriate modes according to the nature of the commands. In other words,
each of the command modes supports specific, related SFTOS software commands. You specify
through CLI commands which mode you want to access, and then, in that mode, you enter commands
that are specific to that mode. For example, if you want to configure a VLAN, you would first enter the
Interface VLAN mode by entering the command interface vlan vlanid at a prompt in the Global
Config mode.
The following command-mode tree diagram provides an overview of the names of the modes and how
they relate to each other. The User Exec mode at the top of the tree is the mode you enter when you
access the CLI.
