Understanding Configuration Modes
The Secure Router OS has four configuration modes to organize the configuration commands – Global,
Line, Router, and Interface. Each configuration mode supports a set of commands specific to the
configurable parameters for the mode. For example, all Frame Relay configuration commands are
accessible only through the Interface Configuration Mode (for the virtual Frame Relay interface). The
following table contains a brief description of each level.
