■ Use to move from User Exec to Privileged Exec mode.
■ Privileged Exec mode allows you to access all other user interface modes. From
here you can configure, monitor, and manage all aspects of the router.
■ You can access the Privileged Exec commands using one of 16 levels of command
privilege. If you do not enter a privilege level and you are not accessing the router
through a RADIUS authentication account, the default CLI access level is 10. For
information about CLI levels of access, see “Privileged-Level Access” on page 49
in “Command-Line Interface” on page 29.
■ Set a password for this mode by using either the enable password or the enable
secret command in Global Configuration mode. This protects the system from
any unauthorized use.
■ Once a password is set, anyone trying to use Privileged Exec mode will be asked
to provide the password.
■ Example 1 (accessing Privileged Exec mode at the default level 10)
host1>enable
password:*******
host1#
■ Example 2 (accessing Privileged Exec mode at the highest level 15; a password
is not set for this example)
host1>enable 15
host1#
■ There is no no version.
■ See enable.
end
■ Use to exit Global Configuration mode or any of the other Configuration modes.
You may also use Ctrl+z to exit these modes.
■ Executing this command returns you to the User Exec mode.
■ Example
host1(config)#end
host1#
■ There is no no version.
■ See end.
exit
■ Use to exit the current command mode or the system when issued from the
User Exec mode.
■ Example
host1#exit
