Chapter 1 Introduction to Router Configuration
Understanding Command Modes
You use the following Cisco IOS command modes when configuring the scenarios
described in this document:
• User EXEC
• Privileged EXEC
• Global configuration
• Interface configuration
• Router configuration
• Line configuration
Note Throughout the examples in this guide, there are steps for verifying your
router configuration by using different Cisco IOS commands. If you plan to
use these verification steps, you must understand how to change from one
command mode to another; for this information, see Table 1-2.
Table 1-2 lists the command modes that are used in this guide, tells how to access
each mode, identifies the prompt you see in each mode, and tells how to exit each
mode. The examples in the table use the host name Router.
