System information

Using the Command Line Interface
2-5
In Global Configuration mode, you can make changes to the active configuration. If
you save the configuration, your changes remain in effect after you reboot the BSR. In
Interface Configuration mode, you enable operation features on a per interface basis.
In Router Configuration mode, you can enable routing protcol features.
User EXEC Mode
When you telnet into the BSR, you are in the CLI User EXEC mode. The prompt
MOT> indicates User EXEC mode. User EXEC commands are a subset of commands
available in Privileged EXEC mode. User EXEC commands allow you to perform
basic tests and list system information.
Privileged EXEC Mode
If a Privileged EXEC mode password exists, the CLI prompts you to enter it to gain
access. The case-sensitive password does not appear on the screen. Privileged EXEC
mode includes the User EXEC commands as well as the configure command, which
you can use to access the remaining command modes and high-level testing
commands, such as debug (available in Privileged EXEC mode).
To enter Privileged EXEC mode, login in and enter the enable command at the MOT>
prompt. The prompt changes to MOT#. For security purposes, if no enable password
exists, you can enter Privileged EXEC mode from console.
Global Configuration Mode
Global Configuration commands apply to features that affect the entire system. These
commands apply to system features and enable routing functions. To enter Global
Configuration mode, enter the configure command from Privileged EXEC mode. The
prompt changes to MOT(config)#. To return to Privileged EXEC mode, enter the
end or exit command or press Ctrl-Z.
