Arranging commands in a hierarchy of levels provides a way to organize and group similar commands, provide different levels of security, and reduce the complexity and number commands and options presented to a user at one time. When you start a command line session, you begin at the login level. This level can be password protected and provides access to high level status, a few diagnostic commands, and the enable level. Further EDS3000 information and configuration are accessed via the enable level. The enable level can also be password protected and is the gateway to full configuration and management of the EDS3000. There are commands for gathering and effecting all elements of EDS status and configuration, as well as commands that take you to additional levels. For instance, network specific status and configuration commands are found under the "configuration" level. An overview of the levels in the EDS3000 is presented in Figure 3-1 CLI Level Hierarchy.
