Privileged EXEC
Global configuration
Interface configuration
User EXEC mode
This is the initial mode of access. By default, the User Access
Verification Password for this mode is empty, and password checking
is disabled. The password can be changed (and password checking
enabled) by the system administrator in Global configuration mode.
After the password is changed, it is activated immediately.
Privileged EXEC mode
You can access this mode from the User EXEC mode. When accessing
this mode, you are prompted to provide a login name and password.
The login name and password combination determines your access
level in the Privileged EXEC mode and other higher modes.
Global configuration mode
You can use this mode to make changes to the running configuration. If
you save the configuration, these settings survive reboots of the switch.
Interface configuration mode
You can use this mode to modify either a logical interface, such as a
VLAN, or a physical interface, such as a port/slot.
