Chapter 2 Command-Line Interfaces
Table 2-5 Frequently Used IOS Command Modes
Mode
User EXEC
Privileged EXEC (enable)
Global configuration
Interface configuration
Console configuration
The Cisco IOS command interpreter, called the EXEC, interprets and executes the commands you enter.
You can abbreviate commands and keywords by entering just enough characters to make the command
unique from other commands. For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh and the
configure terminal command to config t.
When you type exit, the switch backs out one level. To exit configuration mode completely and return
to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z.
Getting a List of IOS Commands and Syntax
In any command mode, you can get a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).

To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters
followed by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is called word help, because
it completes a word for you.
