Usage Guidelines
The exit command is used in the Cisco IOS CLI to exit from the current command mode to the next
highest command mode in the CLI mode hierarchy.
For example, use the exit command in global configuration mode to return to privileged EXEC mode.
Use the exit command in interface, line, or router configuration mode to return to global configuration
mode. Use the exit command in subinterface configuration mode to return to interface configuration
mode. At the highest level, EXEC mode, the exit command will exit the EXEC mode and disconnect
from the router interface (see the description of the exit (EXEC) command for details).
Examples
The following example displays an exit from the subinterface configuration mode to return to the
interface configuration mode:
Router(config-subif)# exit
Router(config-if)#
The following example displays an exit from the interface configuration mode to return to the global
configuration mode:
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
