Identifying the Switch and Command Mode from the System Prompt

The system prompt provides the user with the name of the switch (hostname) and identifies the
command mode. The following is a formal description of the system command prompt:

[device name][([command mode-[object]])][#|>]

[device name]— is the name of the managed switch, which is typically the user-configured
hostname established by the hostname command.

[command mode]—is the current configuration mode and is omitted for the top configuration
levels.

[object]—indicates specific object or range of objects within the configuration mode.

For example, if the current configuration mode is config-if and the object being operated on is
gigabit ethernet 1 on unit 1, the prompt displays the object type and unit (for example, 1/g1).

[# | >]—The # sign is used to indicate that the system is in the Privileged EXEC mode. The >
symbol indicates that the system is in the User EXEC mode, which is a read-only mode in which
the system does not allow configuration.
