Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name and
password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode (or guest
mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a limited number of the
commands are available in this mode. You can access all commands only from the
Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec
mode, open a new console session with the user name and password “admin.” The
system will now display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter
Privileged Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the
enable
command, followed by the privileged level password “super” (page 4-26).
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and passwords:
Configuration Commands

settings. These commands modify the running configuration only and are not saved

The configuration commands are organized into different modes:
• Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level configuration,
and include commands such as hostname and snmp-server community .
• Access Control List Configuration - These commands are used for packet filtering.
• Interface Configuration - These commands modify the port configuration such as
speed-duplex and negotiation .
• Line Configuration - These commands modify the console port and Telnet
configuration, and include command such as parity and databits .
• VLAN Configuration - Includes the command to create VLAN groups.
