Privileged users enter the Privileged EXEC mode directly using a password.
This mode provides access to the device Configuration modes.
The modes are described below.
User EXEC Mode
User EXEC
After logging into the device, the user is automatically in
command mode unless the user is defined as a privileged user. In general, the
User EXEC
commands enable the user to perform basic tests, and display
system information.
The user-level prompt consists of the device "host name" followed by the
angle bracket (>).
console>
The default host name is "console" unless it has been changed using the
Global Configuration
hostname command in the mode.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Privileged access is password-protected to prevent unauthorized use, because
many of the privileged commands set operating system parameters: The
password is not displayed on the screen and is case sensitive.
Privileged EXEC
Privileged users enter directly into the mode.

Use disable to return to the mode.

system as a whole, rather than just a specific interface.
Global Configuration
To enter the mode, enter configure in the Privileged
EXEC mode, and press <Enter>.

The mode prompt is displayed.
console(config)#
