User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view
some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.
Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.
You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system
configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.
CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system IP address and
configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be
logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.
