Access to all commands beyond the User Exec mode can be restricted through the enable password,
which you set with the enable passwd command. See enable passwd on page 110.
The following table shows the relationship of the command mode names to the prompts visible in the
mode and the exit method from that mode. The first three rows in the table are organized in the
sequence in which you would access the child modes. Beyond the Global Config mode, the modes are
either accessed from the Global Config mode or from the mode listed in the row above.
The hostname in the Prompt column is a placeholder for the prompt name that you create using the
hostname command. For example, if you use “Speedy”, the User Exec prompt is Speedy>, the
Privileged Exec prompt is Speedy#, and the Global Config prompt is Speedy (Config)#. For
details, see Figure 4-2 on page 29 and Mode-based Command Hierarchy on page 31.
Note: Previous to Release 2.3, the VLAN mode was accessed from the Privileged Exec
mode with the command vlan database. Starting in Release 2.3, you access the mode from
the Global Config mode with the command interface vlan
vlanid.
Note: Some modes may be unavailable, depending on the installed SFTOS image.
