Command Modes

The router runs on virtualized Cisco IOS XR software. Therefore, the CLI commands must be executed on virtual machines, namely the XR LXC and the System Admin LXC.

The command modes are applicable for the Cisco NCS 5500 Series Routers. This table lists the command modes for the LXCs.

Command Mode Description

XR EXEC mode

(XR LXC execution mode)

Run commands on the XR LXC to display the operational state of the router.

Example: 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#

XR Config mode

(XR LXC configuration mode)

Perform security, routing, and other XR feature configurations on the XR LXC.

Example: 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#configure 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#

System Admin EXEC mode

(System Admin LXC execution mode)

Run commands on the System Admin LXC to display and monitor the operational state of the router hardware. The chassis or individual hardware modules can be reloaded from this mode.

Example: 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#admin 
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0#

System Admin Config mode

(System Admin LXCconfiguration mode)

Run configuration commands on the System Admin LXC to manage and operate the hardware modules of the entire chassis.

Example: 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#admin 
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0#config 
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0(config)#
