Change CLI Modes
The CLI provides two command modes:
Operational
—Use
operational mode to view information about the firewall and the
traffic running through it or to view information about Panorama
or a Log Collector. Additionally, use operational mode commands
to perform operations such as restarting, loading a configuration,
or shutting down. When you log in, the CLI opens in operational
mode.
Configuration
—Use configuration mode to view and modify
the configuration.
You can switch between operational
and configuration modes at any time, as follows:
To switch from operational mode to configuration
mode:
username@hostname>
configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
username@hostname#
Notice that the command prompt changes
from a
>
to a
#
,
indicating that you successfully changed modes.
To switch from configuration mode to operational mode,
use either the
quit
or
exit
command:
username@hostname#
quit
Exiting configuration mode
username@hostname>
To enter an operational mode command while in configuration
mode, use the
run
command, for example:
username@hostname#
run ping host 10.1.1.2
PING 10.1.1.2 (10.1.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data
...
username@hostname#
