Command modes set a context for the CLI. Each command in the CLI is available from one or more command modes. From some command modes you can only view router information; from others you can perform configuration tasks. For example, you can access User Exec mode to display information and then access Global Configuration mode to set parameters or enable a particular feature. By recognizing the command-line prompt, you can identify where you are in the CLI at any given point. When you can easily identify where you are, it is easy to get to where you want to be.
Figure 21 illustrates the command mode architecture. Only some of the many configuration modes are shown.
Command modes are discussed in greater detail in the section Accessing Command Modes . See the JUNOSe Command Reference Guide to find related command modes for any command.
