31.7 Command Modes

There are three command modes: User, Enable and Configure. The modes (and commands) available to you depend on what level of privilege your account has. See Section 31.6 on page 213 for more information on setting up privilege levels.

When you first log into the command interpreter with a read-only account (having a privilege of 0 to 12), the initial mode is the User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).

To enter Enable mode, type enable and enter the administrator password when prompted (the default is 1234). When you enter Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound sign (#). If you log into the command interpreter as an administrator you automatically enter Enable mode.

The following table describes command interpreter modes and how to access them.
