30.7 Command Modes
There are three command modes: User, Enable and Configure. The modes (and commands)
available to you depend on what level of privilege your account has. See
for more information on setting up privilege levels.
When you first log into the command interpreter with a read-only account (having a privilege
of 0 to 12), the initial mode is the User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of
Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>).
To enter Enable mode, type
enable
and enter the administrator password when prompted (the
default is 1234). When you enter Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound
sign (
#
). If you log into the command interpreter as an administrator you automatically enter
Enable mode.
The following table describes command interpreter modes and how to access them.
username <username>
= Specifies a new user (up to 32 alphanumeric characters). Enter
a user name to change the settings of an existing account.
password <password>
= Specifies the new password (up to 32 alphanumeric
characters) for this user.
privilege <0-14>
= Assigns a privilege level for the user.
