Expert mode is an advanced CLI mode that provides access to a broader range of commands and capabilities.
It is intended for more experienced administrators or engineers who require greater control and flexibility over the device's configuration and management.
In Expert mode, you have access to low-level system settings, advanced debugging tools, and a wider range of troubleshooting commands.
The Expert mode allows administrators to perform tasks that may not be available or limited in Gaia Clish.
Gaia Clish is the default CLI mode and is designed for easier and more straightforward management tasks.
Gaia Clish is a restrictive shell (role-based administration controls the number of commands available in the shell).
It provides a simplified set of commands that are easy to understand and use.
The Gaia Clish is suitable for common configuration and monitoring tasks.
