Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
The following table lists the CLI mode, its prompt, and information about how to access and exit the CLI mode. Move linearly
through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit
command which moves you up one command mode level.
NOTE: Sub-CONFIGURATION modes all have the letters “conf” in the prompt with more modiers to identify the mode
and slot/port information.
