Many commands (for example, commands that modify the configuration) can be entered only in
privileged mode. To enter privileged command mode, follow these steps:
From normal mode, enter the enable command. On a new switch, the privileged-mode password is null.
Step 1
If you are connecting to a new switch, press Return at the Enter Password prompt. Otherwise, enter the
privileged-mode password for the switch.
Console> enable
Enter password: <privileged_mode_password>
Console> (enable)
To exit privileged mode and return to normal mode, enter the disable command.

Accessing Help
Enter help or ? in normal or privileged mode to see the commands available in those modes. Command
usage, the help menu, and when appropriate, parameter ranges are provided if you enter a command
using the wrong number of arguments or inappropriate arguments.
Additionally, appending ? to a command displays a list of valid keywords and arguments for the
command. Insert a space between the last parameter and the question mark (?). For example, eight
parameters are used by the set mls command. To see these parameters, enter set mls ? at the privileged
prompt. The system displays all valid keywords and arguments as follows:
Console> (enable) set ip ?
alias
dns
fragmentation
http
permit
redirect
route
unreachable
Console> (enable) set ip
The system repeats the command you entered without the question mark (?).
