Does F5 have special mode just for show command?

Hi, in F5 command line, unlike Cisco etc devices, F5 does not have a mode where we can use show command exclusively. That means we use show commands and do configuration under the same configuration mode. That is a little danger when we use all command under the configuration mode. Does F5 have special mode just for show command? Thank you

 

  • F5 doesn't have config mode like cisco.. only option to give permission based on category(admin, guest,etc)

     

  • BIG-IP does not have different modes. The ability to view/create/delete/modify the config is based on the "user role" assigned to the user account used to login. There is a user role named "guest" which has read-only access to the config. This is as close as you can get to a "show mode" on BIG-IP.
