Introduction
Users are assigned privilege levels that determine the modes and commands
available to them. User levels are described in
User (Privilege)
Levels.
User EXEC Mode
Users with level 1 initially log into User EXEC mode. User EXEC mode is used for
tasks that do not change the configuration, such as performing basic tests and
listing system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the switch host name followed by a #. The
default host name is switchxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the
device's MAC address, as shown below
switchxxxxxx#
The default host name can be changed via the
hostname
command in Global
Configuration mode.
Privileged EXEC Mode
A user with level 7 or 15 automatically logs into Privileged EXEC mode.
Users with level 1 can enter Privileged Exec mode by entering the
enable
command, and when prompted, the password for level 15.
To return from the Privileged EXEC mode to the User EXEC mode, use the
disable
command.
Global Configuration Mode
The Global Configuration mode is used to run commands that configure features
at the system level, as opposed to the interface level.
Only users with command level of 7 or 15 can access this mode.
To access Global Configuration mode from Privileged EXEC mode, enter the
configure command at the Privileged EXEC mode prompt and press Enter. The
Global Configuration mode prompt, consisting of the device host name followed
by (config)#, is displayed:
switchxxxxxx(config)#
Use any of the following commands to return from Global Configuration mode to
the Privileged EXEC mode:
