EXEC Privilege Mode

The enable command accesses EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an Enable
password, you are prompted to enter the password here.
EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other
commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access
CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are
logged in to EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt displays.

CONFIGURATION Mode

In EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter CONFIGURATION mode and
configure routing protocols and access interfaces.
To enter CONFIGURATION mode:
1. Verify that you are logged in to EXEC Privilege mode.
2.
Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
From this mode, you can enter INTERFACE mode by using the interface command.

INTERFACE Mode

Use INTERFACE mode to configure interfaces or IP services on those interfaces. An interface can be
physical (for example, a TenGigabit Ethernet port) or virtual (for example, the Null interface).
To enter INTERFACE mode:
1. Verify that you are logged into CONFIGURATION mode.
2.
Enter the interface command followed by an interface type and interface number that is available
on the switch.
3. The prompt changes to include the designated interface and slot/port number
