Privileged users enter the Privileged EXEC mode directly using a password.
This mode provides access to the device Configuration modes.
The modes are described below.
User EXEC Mode
After logging into the device, the user is automatically in
User EXEC
command mode unless the user is defined as a privileged user. In general, the
User EXEC
commands enable the user to perform basic tests, and display
system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the
angle bracket (>).
console>
The default host name is "console" unless it has been changed using the
hostname
command in the
Global Configuration
mode.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access is password-protected to prevent unauthorized use, because
many of the privileged commands set operating system parameters: The
password is not displayed on the screen and is case sensitive.
Privileged users enter directly into the
Privileged EXEC
mode.
Use

to return to the
User EXEC
mode.

Global Configuration
mode commands apply to features that affect the
system as a whole, rather than just a specific interface.
To enter the
Global Configuration
mode, enter

in the Privileged
EXEC mode, and press <Enter>.
