divided into different modes. Available commands depend on the selected
mode. You can always enter a question mark “?” at the prompt to display a
list of the commands available for the current mode. The command classes
and associated modes are displayed in the following table:
Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name and
password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode (or
guest mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a limited
number of the commands are available in this mode. You can access all
commands only from the Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator
mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new console session with the
user name and password “admin.” The system will now display the
“Console#” command prompt. You can also enter Privileged Exec mode
from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the enable command, followed
by the privileged level password “super” (page 4-28).
