Management Center CLI Modes

The CLI encompasses four modes. The default mode, CLI Management, includes commands for navigating within the CLI itself. The remaining modes contain commands addressing three different areas of management center functionality; the commands within these modes begin with the mode name: system, show, or configure.

When you enter a mode, the CLI prompt changes to reflect the current mode. For example, to display version information about system components, you can enter the full command at the standard CLI prompt:

> show version

If you have previously entered show mode, you can enter the command without the show keyword at the show mode CLI prompt:

show> version
