The Privileged EXEC mode provides access to all the commands you could execute in User EXEC mode, as well as several additional commands. Also, from this mode, you can enter Global Configuration mode. Most of the commands that the Privileged EXEC mode makes available are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces.
To enter the Privileged EXEC mode, type enable to log in as privileged user, which displays the following prompt:
where appliance is the name of the appliance on which you logged in.
The Global Configuration mode allows you to make changes to the running configuration. If you later save the configuration, these commands are stored across appliance reboots. To enter the Global Configuration mode, you must first enter the Privileged EXEC mode and then type configure terminal at the prompt. When you press Enter, the following prompt displays:
where appliance is the name of the appliance on which you logged in.

The Silver Peak command line interface (CLI) supports only the US character set.|
Enclose a variable or a value that you must specify in the command. For example, in the syntax: configure vlan <vlan name> ip address <ip_address>, you must supply a VLAN name for the variable <vlan name> and an IP address for the variable <ip_address> when you enter the command.

Separate mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be entered. For example, in the syntax file upload <filename> | cancel you must specify either the file name variable or the word, cancel, when you enter the command.
|

|
Enclose a required value or list of required arguments. One or more values or arguments can be specified in square brackets. For example, in the syntax configure snmp community {read-only | read-write} <string>, you must include either the read-only or read-write argument in the command.
|

|
Enclose an optional value or a list of optional arguments. You can specify in curly brackets one or more values or arguments that are not required to execute the command. For example, in the syntax reboot [<date> <time> | cancel] you can choose to use the reboot command without any arguments. Alternately, you can specify either a particular date and time combination or the keyword cancel to cancel a previously scheduled reboot.

The CLI has a built-in Syntax Helper. If you are not sure of the complete syntax for a particular command, enter the first three letters of the command and press the Tab key. The Syntax Helper provides a list of options for the remainder of the command, and places the cursor at the end of the command you have entered so far, ready for the next option.
The Silver Peak operating system keeps the last commands you entered in its memory. You can “walk” through these commands one at a time by using the Up and Down arrows on your keyboard.
