How to work with command modes

The following figure shows the command mode hierarchy and the commands you use to move
to lower-level modes.
Multiple users can telnet and issue commands using the Exec mode and the Privileged Exec
mode. However, only one user is allowed to use the Configure mode at a time. This prevents
multiple users from issuing configuration commands simultaneously.
Figure 1-6:
User Exec mode User Exec mode is the mode you log into on the switch.

(Telnet, SSH), and change mode.
The default User Exec mode prompt is
Privileged Exec To change from User Exec to Privileged Exec mode, enter the command:
mode
Privileged Exec mode is the main mode for monitoring—for example, running show
commands and debugging. From Privileged Exec mode, you can do all the commands from
User Exec mode plus many system commands.
The default Privileged Exec mode prompt is awplus#.
