This document describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) used to 
manage the 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE switch. 

Most of the CLI commands are applicable to all devices.

This chapter describes how to start using the CLI and the CLI command 
editing features.

To assist in configuring the device, the Command Line Interface (CLI) is 
divided into different command modes. Each command mode has its 
own set of specific commands. Entering a question mark ? at the system 
prompt (console prompt) displays a list of commands available for that 
particular command mode.

From each mode, a specific command is used to navigate from one 
command mode to another. The standard order to access the modes is as 
follows: User EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode, Global Configuration 
mode, and Interface Configuration mode. 

When starting a session, the initial mode is the User EXEC mode. Only a 
limited subset of commands are available in User EXEC mode. This level is 
reserved for tasks that do not change the configuration. To enter the next 
level, the Privileged EXEC mode, a password is required.

The Privileged EXEC mode gives access to commands that are restricted 
on User EXEC mode and provides access to the device Configuration 
mode.

The Global Configuration mode manages the device configuration on a 
global level. 

The Interface Configuration mode configures specific interfaces in the 
device.
