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 number 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 mode, by entering the
enable command, followed by the privileged level password “super”
(page 22-4).
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and
passwords:
