Using DellOpenManage Switch Administrator 75
User EXEC Mode
After logging into the device, the EXEC command mode is enabled. The user-level prompt consists of
the host name followed by the angle bracket (>). For example:
console>
NOTE: The default host name is console unless it has been modified during initial configuration.
The User EXEC commands permit connecting to remote devices, changing terminal settings on a
temporary basis, performing basic tests, and listing system information.
To list the User EXEC commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access can be protected to prevent unauthorized access and ensure operating parameters.
Passwords are displayed on the screen, and are case sensitive.
To access and list the Privileged EXEC mode commands:
1
At the prompt type
enable
and press <Enter>.
2
When a password prompt displays, enter the password and press <Enter>.
The Privileged EXEC mode prompt displays as the device host name followed by #. Forexample:
console#
To list the Privileged EXEC commands, type a question mark at the command prompt.
To return from Privileged EXEC mode to User EXEC mode, type
disable
and press <Enter>.
The following example illustrates accessing privileged EXEC mode and then returning to the
UserEXEC mode:
console> enable
Enter Password: ******
console#
console# disable
console>
Use the exit command to move back to a previous mode. For example, from Interface Configuration
mode to Global Configuration mode, and from Global Configuration mode to Privileged EXEC mode.
