Getting Started
device-name#
By default, Privileged mode is not password protected. However, you can configure password
protection by using the password command from the Configure prompt.
To access Privileged mode from View mode, use the enable command. (That is why this
mode is also referred as "Enable" mode.)
Configure Mode
The Configure mode allows full configuration capabilities. Its prompt is displayed as follows:
device-name(config)#
Additional information can be displayed inside the parentheses, before the pound symbol, to
indicate the present configuration mode.
For example:
device-name(cfg protocol)#
indicates that you are in the Configure Protocol mode.
To access Configure mode from Privileged mode, use the configure terminal command.
Startup Modes
There are also two separate special startup modes, called "Loader" and "Sysloader". They are
designed mainly for techical support purposes and are not user-configurable. Both of them are
covered in detail in the Appendix.
