Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name and
password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode (or guest
mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a limited nu mber of the
commands are available in this mode. You can access all commands only from the
Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec
mode, open a new console session with the user name and password “admin .” The
system will now display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter
Privileged Exec mode from within Normal Exec m ode, by entering the enable
command, followed by the privileged level password “super” (page 4-27).
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and passwords:
Configuration Commands

• Interface Configur ation - These commands modify the port configuration such as
speed-duplex and negotiation.
• Line Configuration - These commands modify the console port and Telnet
configuration, and include command such as parity and databits.
• VLAN Configuration - Includes the command to create VLAN groups.
