Managing the XSR

Setting CLI Configuration Modes

The CLI provides modes of operation permitting a subset of commands to be

issued from each mode. Also, you can issue any command and acquire any

mode if the command entered or mode acquired subscribes to the same parent.

For example, you can issue the

interface serial command at Crypto Map

mode because both Serial Interface and Crypto Map modes subscribe to

Global (config) mode. Table 3 describes a few primary modes of operation.

Refer to Figure 1 for a graphic example of configuration modes.
