Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

When you enter a CLI command to perform an action that will be overridden by 
existing settings at a lower level, you will be presented with a notification. For 
example, if you are in cluster mode and enter a command, you may see a 
notification like this:

Note: Changes to these settings will not affect the following groups 

and machines because they are overriding the cluster-wide settings:

East_Coast, West_Coast

facilities_A, facilities_B, receiving_A

A similar message would be printed if you are editing settings for a group mode.

Most CLI commands and their corresponding GUI pages can be run in any mode 
(cluster, group, or machine). However, some commands and pages are restricted 
to one mode only. 

The system interface (either the GUI and the CLI) will always will make it clear 
that a command is restricted and how it is restricted. It is easy to switch to the 
appropriate mode for configuring the command. 

In the GUI, use the “Change Mode” menu or the “Settings for this features 
are currently defined at:” links to switch modes. 

In the CLI, use the 

clustermode

 command to switch modes. 

The following commands are restricted to cluster mode: 

If a you try to run one of these commands in group or machine mode, you will be 
given a warning message and the opportunity to switch to the appropriate mode.
