how To determine the current mode of a vEdge router

To determine the current mode of a vEdge router, you can try one of the following methods:

1. Access Method:

   • If you access the device and are presented with a command-line interface, it's operating in CLI mode.
   • If you access it through a web browser and see a graphical interface, it's operating in GUI mode.

2. CLI Prompt: When you access the device via CLI, the prompt itself can indicate the operational mode. In CLI mode, the prompt typically displays the hostname or IP address of the device followed by a greater-than symbol (>), indicating CLI mode.

   Example CLI prompt in CLI mode:

   vEdge#

3. GUI Access: Attempt to access the device through a web browser. If you're able to log in and access a graphical interface, it's operating in GUI mode.

   Example URL to access GUI mode:

    https://<vEdge_IP_address> 

4. Configuration Status: You can also check the configuration status of the device to see if it's configured for CLI-based or GUI-based operation. The configuration file (vpn.conf) typically contains information about the operational mode. However, this method may require administrative access to the device.
