Timesaver Each command mode restricts you to a subset of commands. If you
are having trouble entering a command, check the prompt, and enter
the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be
in the wrong command mode or using the wrong syntax.
In the following example, which uses the default prompt (router>), notice how the
prompt changes after each command to indicate a new command mode:
router> enable
Password: <enable password>
router#configure terminal
router(config-if)# line 0
router(config-line)# controller t1 1/0
router(config-controller)# exit
router(config)# exit
router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
The last message is normal and does not indicate an error. Press Return to return
to the prompt.
