A command prompt is the input field in a text-based user interface. Apparently, it consists of a brief text followed by a curser which is where the user enters commands to execute. To access the command prompt or cmd, the user may open it via run command or by directly going to the original location C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe.

In the logging levels extension for Magento 2, cmd is used to access the Magento server to view the logs created. Once the user is on cmd, he needs to access the Magento server using the credentials.
