User Exec Mode; Privileged Exec Mode - Dell PowerConnect 3424 User Manual

User EXEC Mode

After logging into the device, the EXEC command mode is enabled. The user-level prompt consists
of the host name followed by the angle bracket (>). For example:

NOTE:
The default host name is console unless it has been modified during initial configuration.
The User EXEC commands permit connecting to remote devices, changing terminal settings on a
temporary basis, performing basic tests, and listing system information.
To list the User EXEC commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.

Privileged EXEC Mode

Passwords are displayed on the screen, and are case sensitive.
To access and list the Privileged EXEC mode commands:

To list the Privileged EXEC commands, type a question mark at the command prompt.
To return from Privileged EXEC mode to User EXEC mode, type disable and press
<Enter>.
The following example illustrates accessing privileged EXEC mode and then returning to the
User EXEC mode:

console# disable
console>
Use the exit command to move back to a previous mode. For example, from Interface
Configuration mode to Global Configuration mode, and from Global Configuration mode to
Privileged EXEC mode.
