# SUBSCRIBE












Subscribes the client to the specified channels.

Once the client enters the subscribed state it is not supposed to issue any
other commands, except for additional `SUBSCRIBE`, [`SSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/ssubscribe), [`PSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/psubscribe), [`UNSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/unsubscribe), [`SUNSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/sunsubscribe), 
[`PUNSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/punsubscribe), [`PING`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/ping), [`RESET`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/reset) and [`QUIT`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/quit) commands.
However, if RESP3 is used (see [`HELLO`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/hello)) it is possible for a client to issue any commands while in subscribed state.
