Basic Mode

The basic mode allows restricted access to the router, providing only a limited
number of commands. From this mode, you can view basic system informa-
tion, verify some processes, and enter traceroute and ping commands. You
do not have access to any of the options that allow you to configure the router.
When you first access the Secure Router OS through the CLI and press
the router is in the basic mode context. To verify your location in the CLI,
check the prompt. In the basic mode context, the prompt is the > symbol, as
shown below:
ProCurve>
From the basic mode context, you can access the enable mode by entering:
ProCurve> enable

Enable Mode

The enable mode is sometimes called the privileged mode because it allows
you to access all management and configuration commands. You can use this
command to view detailed information about how your router is functioning,
perform system management tasks, and gain access to all configuration modes
on the router. From the enable mode, you can save, move, and delete the
startup-config and running-config files and use the show and debug com-
mands.
Although you cannot actually configure the ProCurve Secure Router from the
enable mode, you can access the global configuration mode from this mode,
and from there, you can access any configuration mode and configure any
router feature. For additional security, you can—and should—password pro-
tect this more-secure OS level.
In the enable mode context, the prompt is followed by the # symbol, as shown
below:
ProCurve#
From the enable mode context, you can access the global configuration mode
context by entering:
ProCurve# configure terminal
