Global Configuration Mode
Global Configuration commands apply to system features, rather than to a specific protocol or interface.
To access Global Configuration mode:

Configuration Mode displays as the device host name, followed by (config) and the number sign #.
console(config)#
2. To list the Global Configuration commands, enter a question mark at the command prompt.
3. To return from Global Configuration mode to Privileged EXEC mode, type the exit command or use
the command.
The following example illustrates how to access Global Configuration Mode and return to the Privileged
EXEC Mode :
console#
console#configure
console(config)#exit
