To access the next higher mode (Privileged EXEC mode), use the enable
command and enter the password for the higher level when prompted.
Privileged EXEC Mode
Users with levels 7 and 15 initially log into Privileged EXEC mode, which is
password-protected to prevent unauthorized use, as many of its commands set
operating system parameters. The password is not displayed on the screen and is
case-sensitive.
Only users with command level of 7 or 15 can access this mode.
To enter this mode from User EXEC mode, follow these steps:
At the prompt enter the enable command and press Enter. A password prompt is
displayed.
Enter the password to go the next level and press Enter. (For security purposes,
each character in the password is replaced by *). The Privileged EXEC mode
prompt, consisting of the Switch host name followed by, is displayed.
Console#
To return from the Privileged EXEC mode to the User EXEC mode, use the disable
command.
The following example illustrates how to access Privileged EXEC mode and then
return to User EXEC mode:
Console>
Console> enable
Enter Password: ******
