2.1.2.2 Executable commands
Command execution is restricted according to the following conditions:
• Command type
• Privilege class
• Use mode
Command type (operation commands and configuration commands)
Two command types are available; operation commands and configuration commands.
Since the use mode after logging into the system is operation mode, you can only run operation commands.
By running a configure command, the use mode changes to configuration mode and you will be able to run configuration
commands as well as operation commands.
However, since you cannot run a configure command in user class, run an admin command to change to admin class before
running the configure command.
The following table lists command types and functions.
The following table lists commands and operations.
Precautions
If you run a reset command or reconnect power without first running a save command, the running configuration and
candidate configuration will return to the state they were in before running a configuration command.
