This command activates Privileged Exec mode. In privileged mode, additional commands are available, and certain commands display additional information. See “Understanding Command Modes” on page 31-6.

Syntax

enable [level]

level - Privilege level to log into the device.

The device has two predefined privilege levels: 0: Normal Exec,

15: Privileged Exec. Enter level 15 to access Privileged Exec mode.

Default Setting

Level 15

Command Mode

Command Usage

“super” is the default password required to change the command mode from Normal Exec to Privileged Exec. (To set this password, see the enable password command on page 41-2.)

The “#” character is appended to the end of the prompt to indicate that the system is in privileged access mode.
