Chapter 32 Introducing the Commands

32.7 Account Privilege Levels

You can use a command whose privilege level is equal to or less than that of your login account. For example, if your login account has a privilege level of 12, you can use all commands with privilege levels from 0 to 12. 0-privileged commands are available to all login accounts.

32.8 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. Use the logins username command in Configure mode to set up accounts and 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 User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of the Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).

To enter Enable (or privileged) mode using a read-only account, 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..
