The following example illustrates how to access Privileged Exec mode and return back to the User EXEC mode:

console>enable

Enter Password: ******

console#

console#disable

console>

The Exit command is used to return from any mode to the previous mode except when returning to User EXEC mode from the Privileged EXEC mode. For example, the Exit command is used to return from the Interface Configuration mode to the Global Configuration mode

Global Configuration Mode

Global Configuration mode commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole, rather than just a specific interface. The Privileged EXEC mode command configure is used to enter the Global Configuration mode.

To enter the Global Configuration mode perform the following steps:"

1At the Privileged EXEC mode prompt enter the command configure and press <Enter>. The Global Configuration mode prompt is displayed. The Global Configuration mode prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the word "(config)" and "#".

console(config)#

To return from the Global Configuration mode to the Privileged EXEC mode, the user can use one of the following commands:

exit

end

Ctrl+Z

The following example illustrates how to access Global Configuration mode and returns to the Privileged EXEC mode:

console#

console#configure

console(config)#exit

console#

Using the CLI
