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
3-31.)
• The “#” character is appended to the end of the prompt to
indicate that the system is in privileged access mode.
• You only need to use Level 15. Setting the password for Level
0 has no effect.
• You cannot set a null password with the enable password
command. You will have to enter a password to access the
Privileged Exec mode.
