EXEC Mode Commands
Use the EXEC mode for setting, viewing, and testing system operations. In general, the user EXEC
commands allow you to connect to remote devices, change terminal line settings on a temporary basis,
perform basic tests, and list system information.
The EXEC mode is divided into two access levels: user and privileged.
The user EXEC mode is used by local and general system administrators, while the privileged EXEC
mode is used by the root administrator. Use the enable and disable commands to switch between the two
levels. Access to the user-level EXEC command line requires a valid password.
The user-level EXEC commands are a subset of the privileged-level EXEC commands. The user-level
EXEC prompt is the hostname followed by a right angle bracket (>). The prompt for the privileged-level
EXEC command line is the pound sign (#). To execute an EXEC command, enter the command at the
EXEC system prompt and press the Return key.
Note You can change the hostname using the hostname global configuration command.
The following example shows how to access the privileged-level EXEC command line from the user
level:
WAE> enable
WAE#
To leave EXEC mode, use the exit command at the system prompt:
WAE# exit
WAE>
