The term global is used to indicate characteristics or features effecting the system as a whole. Use
the global configuration mode to configure the system globally, or enter specific configuration
modes to configure specific elements (such as interfaces or protocols). Use the configure terminal
command, under PRIV EXEC, to enter the global configuration mode.

The example below describes how to enter the global configuration mode from the privileged EXEC
mode:

RFS7000# configure terminal

RFS7000(config)#

NOTE

The system prompt changes to indicate that you are in global configuration mode. The prompt for
global configuration mode consists of the host-name of the device followed by (config) and the
pound sign (#).

Commands entered in the global configuration mode update the running configuration file as soon
as they are entered. However, these changes are not saved in the startup configuration file until a
copy running-config startup-config EXEC mode command is issued.
