Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC.

You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode) with

the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to

change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been

set.

The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>).

At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a

privileged-level password as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case-sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not

displayed.

When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
