EXEC COMMANDS When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name
and password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command mode
(or guest mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt. Only a
limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can
access all commands only from the Privileged Exec command mode (or
administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new console
session with the user name and password “admin.” The system will now
display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter Privileged
Exec mode from within Normal Exec mode, by entering the enable
command, followed by the privileged level password “super.”
To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following user names and
passwords:
Username: admin
Password: [admin login password]
CLI session with the ECS3510-28T is opened.
To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

Username: guest
Password: [guest login password]

Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify
switch settings. These commands modify the running configuration only
and are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To store the running
configuration in non-volatile storage, use the copy running-config
startup-config command.
