27.6 Command Modes
There are three CLI command modes: User, Enable and Configure.
When you first log into the CLI, the initial command mode is the User mode. The User mode
commands are a subset of the Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends
with an angle bracket (>).
To enter Enable (or privileged) mode, type
enable
and enter a password when prompted (the
default is 1234). When you enter the Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound
sign (
#
).
To enter the configuration mode, type
configure
or
config
. The Configure mode command
prompt consists of the word “
config
” and the pound sign (
#
). There are various sub
configuration modes: interface, router and VLAN.
• To enter config-vlan mode, type
vlan
followed by a number (between 1 to 4094). For
example,
vlan 10
to configure settings for VLAN 10.
• To enter config-interface mode and configure the ports, enter
interface port-
channel
followed by a port number. For example,
interface port-channel 8
.
Enter
exit
or

to quit from the current mode or log out from the CLI.
