IOS Modes on Cisco Devices
As stated earlier in this guide, the Cisco IOS is comprised of several modes,
each of which contains a set of commands specific to the function of that
mode.
By default, the first mode you enter when logging into a Cisco device is
User EXEC mode. User mode appends a “>” after the device hostname:
Router>
No configuration can be changed or viewed from User mode. Only basic
status information can be viewed from this mode.
Privileged EXEC mode allows all configuration files, settings, and status
information to be viewed. Privileged mode appends a “#” after the device
hostname:
Router#
To enter Privileged mode, type enable from User mode:
Router> enable
Router#
To return back to User mode from Privileged mode, type disable:
Router# disable
Router>
Very little configuration can be changed directly from Privileged mode.
Instead, to actually configure the Cisco device, one must enter Global
Configuration mode:
Router(config)#
To enter Global Configuration mode, type configure terminal from
Privileged Mode:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
To return back to Privileged mode, type exit:
Router(config)# exit
Router#
